RUSH: On April 13 the Pentagon used a new weapon against ISIS terrorists in Afghanistan. The official name: GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast. MOAB. The nickname widely used in military circles is “Mother of All Bombs.”

It’s a mother, all right the most powerful bomb we have, short of a nuke. It leaves a crater 300 feet wide. Within milliseconds of the initial blast, all oxygen is forced out of tunnels for hundreds of feet around. The unlucky targets have the air sucked out of their lungs which then implode. A fireball incinerates and vaporizes anything in the vicinity.

Pope Francis heard about this thing. And he’s not happy that it’s called the Mother of All Bombs. Speaking to a group of students in Milan, the il Papa said: “I was ashamed when I heard the name. A mother gives life (except at Planned Parenthood), and this one gives death and we call this device a mother. What is happening?” (What does Planned Parenthood call them, Pope?)

Well, Pope Francis – these ISIS terrorists are a vicious bunch – especially to people they consider “infidels.” Which would include you. They take delight in murdering Christians as sadistically as possible beheadings are the least of it. Compared to what they do, this bomb is gentle.

Whoever told the Pope about the Mother of All Bombs – please don’t tell him about some of the other things the word “mother” is associated with. Like “the mother of all walls” … around the Vatican. “Mothers at Planned Parenthood”. They don’t exist.
