Supporting the
GBU-28, Israel has
improved some 500 bunker busters bought from the US in February 2005 -
but in the event of the GBU-28s and the bunker busters not proving

- This report by Buchanan has to the WORST one that he has ever published. Is Buchanan wrong or not? I'm really puzzled by this report from Buchanan because it contradicts everything that I know about the Iran issues. - on 2008-06-29
