    Oh, they most certainly do keep track of how much it costs to make one.
    :meh: Right. Here is a little more from Alex Jones (InfoWars)....


    If the guy above is skeptical of a report then I'm going to treat it as if it is completely ridiculous.


    Don't get me wrong, Alex Jones is entertaining, but he is just that....entertainment. A couple months ago Joe Rogan had him on his podcast and got Alex Jones stoned and drunk.....and it was one of the most hilarious things I have ever heard. :hilarious:

    Here is the full podcast:


    He gets stoned later on in the episode and you can tell he knows what's coming out of his mouth is complete BS....but he is a great showman.

    Note: Of course his conspiracy theories are going to hit the mark once in a while....he throws so much sh*t at the wall something is bound to stick.

    Also:
    MOAB dropped in Afghanistan: Alabama defense company played role in Mother of All Bombs
    MOAB bomb has two Huntsville connections

    So the part about:
    "The weapon, whose acronym inspired the nickname "Mother of All Bombs," was produced by the Air Force, not by a third party like Lockheed or Boeing, "so we don't have a standard procurement cost associated with them," an Air Force official said."
    ....is BS.
