It was tested this afternoon at base Englin near Pensacola but the results will be known later if the test was good or not.
If used in Iraq it will make the Iraqis surrender rapidly due to the massive damage that it will cause to them.

If I'm not mistaken, this bomb is 10,000 heavier than the Daisy Cutter, this one should be called the "Pushing UP daisys!" bomb

Based on what I've read this seems to be a next generation F.A.E bomb. F.A.E. stands for Fuel Air Explosive. The way it works is to spread a fine fist of fuel over a broad area and then the fuel/air mixture is detonated with devastating results. FAE devices have been in the inventory for quite a while but this one takes the cake. The "Daisy Cutter" is a conventional explosive 15,000 bomb.
