GBU-28 is a powerful bomb that was developed before the Iraq war in 1991. At that time, the Americans wanted to have a bomb that could penetrate Iraqi command centers that were subsurface or and / or protected by reinforced concrete. The bomb weighs 5,000 pounds, which is approximately 2260 kg, and is laser guided. From the discussion in the leaked document from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, it seems that the Israelis have obtained the bombs, by all accounts 100 units, with the purpose of destroying the Iranian nuclear program, if it should be considered necessary.

Apart from this section of one of the leaked Wikileaks documents, the Americans and Israelis expressed surprisingly little acute anxiety for the Iranian nuclear program. However, The Israelis again and again make the point that an Iranian nuclear bomb would be disastrous for peace efforts in the Middle East. In autumn 2009, it is nevertheless clear that both Israelis that Americans believe that they still have time before an Iranian nuclear bomb is a fact. The Israelis therefore want Americans to continue their efforts to deter the Iranians through sanctions. Getting Russia and China on board is considered imperative.

Will 2011 see the creation of Palestine? .................  http://www.a-w-i-p.com/index.php/2011/01/03/will-2011-see-the-creation-of-palestine#more8684

Picture: ... Peace vs Israel: Summing it up then, both sides want peace, but the Palestinians reasonably want their land back first. The "Israelis" want peace too, but not until they have stolen all of Palestine. They expect the Palestinians to accept this, shut up and leave.  http://www.a-w-i-p.com/media/blogs/news/Newsdirectory2/palestine_land_theft_2_jpg.jpg
