My fav Rummy quote so far this week is his reply to a question after the test of the new weapon MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast) at Elgin AFB today.
Asked about the test at a Pentagon news conference, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld would not say whether it would be used in an Iraq war, and he refused to discuss its capabilities.
''This is not small,'' he said.
Neither were the burgers. Wut?
My home town had a burger stand called Meal On A Bun (MOAB) that made the best damn broiled burgers smothered in hickory sauce...they were huge...a 1/2 thick patty on a 6" sesame seed bun... veiled with thinly sliced onions, pickles and a boatload of sauce. Yum.
Wasn't the Plain of Moab where Moses died?
The two strongholds of the kingdom of Moab were Ar and Kir. Modern day Karak (maybe of interest to the Possumbloggers) on the Wadi Karak 50 miles South of Amman in West Central Jordan is an ancient walled citadel of the Moabites called Kir Moab in the first millennium BC.
Then of course we got Moab, Utah.
Egads...a biblical weapon...Shhhh...don't tell the Dems...they'll have to medicate Daschle.
UPDATE: Here's today's test video (it's a large download but worth the wait)
