In another flip-flop, the US Defense Department now admits that the 700 ton bomb with the religious monicker, "Divine Strake" really is a test for the capabilities of a nuclear weapon. As we previously conjectured, it is a non-nuclear test of a tactical nuclear "Bunker Buster" weapon.
The blast will simulate the effects of a tactical nuke, and we can only assume that one is under development. The administration seems perfectly willing to step up not only the rhetoric but everything short of breaking every nuclear test ban treaty we have signed. Currently, the UN is trying to persuade the US to stop the test while the rest of the world watches and wonders if the UN has proven impotent again.
