Robocop. Clarence Boddiker.

I think I'm just going to have to disqualify you on general principles.

MOP = Very Cool.

Slightly off topic, but who wrote that story? Every so often it was like the writer lapsed into Estonian or something.

Actually, it appears that the MOAB and the MOP do different things, and would have different missions.

The MOAB destroys everything on the surface for miles in every direction. It could destroy a city - but not the sewers or subway tunnels.

The MOP is a ground penetrator. It's for destroying underground structures. It's also (as you said) designed to be dropped from the B-2, you know, like at night, way behind enemy lines?

There's a word that's getting a lot of play in press circles - "Bunker Buster." This is the non-nuclear Bunker Buster option. That means we can use it too, or at least threaten to.

This isn't for dicking around with Iran however. The Iranian problem will come to a head long before this baby sees the light of day. However, something does jump to mind: North Korea.

NK threatends SK with lots of missiles, but we've got the Aegis RADAR system + Patriot missiles to deal with that little problem. However, NK also has hollowed out several mountains just north of Seoul and filled them with artillery. No defense system presently exists that could prevent the North Korean artillery barrage from decimating Seoul. If a couple MOPs (you know, dropped from stealthy B-2 bombers, at night) took out those mountain fortresses, that would take a lot of wind from their sails.

State-of-the-art bang-bang?

Or, number one boom-boom?

Yowsa!

Not bad, but I still want something that goes really fast and gets really sh*tty gas milage.

Anyone got a 6000 SUX?

Hey, I just realized something. That pissed off councilman must have been a Democrat. It all fits!

I... like it!

"I'll buy that for a dollar!"

money quote from that article, refrencing the MOAB and the old-school daisy cutter: "Both also are seen as psychological weapons that can demoralize an enemy."

Yeah, I'd say so.

But the best quote has to be "Bitches leave!"

Better than, "Your move, creep?"

Yeahp. You can actually use "Bitches leave" in real life.

It's even better than, "I'm not arresting you anymore."

I always felt bad for Miguel Ferrer. I mean, at the very least the dad from That 70's Show could've let him finish his blow, and maybe score with the ladies before he blew off his kneecaps and introduced him to Mister Happy Grenade.

That was just cruel. . .

Cheers,

Nah. Best lines:

"What's your name, son?"

"Murphy."

Well, without a doubt, that line has the most dramatic impact, but what does it mean without the context of the actual movie? Nothing.

In the movie, that's the best line. Doesn't really make for a good quote, though.

Nick: A troll through IMDB quotes confirms your theory about the councilman--he might be Daschle, maybe Edwards; definitely sounds like a Democrat after Nov. 2nd:

"First, don't fuck with me. I'm a desperate man! And second, I want some fresh coffee. And third, I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!"

What, are you kidding? Many's the time I'll be walking along and I'll turn to a total stranger and say "What's your name, son?" And invariably everyone says, "Murphy."

Well, except for the one lady with the pepper spray...

The Old Man: Dick, you're *fired*!
RoboCop: Thank you.

I'm convinced the writer was having some sort of seizures as he tried to type..

I'm aghast no one has mentioned "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!", or "I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh? Think you can outsmart a bullet?". I use those daily.
