One Thing That Should Be Rushed Through Congress

As you know, I'm not normally a big fan of rushing things through Congress and into law, but this is one exception I'm happy to see go flying through:

Congress has quietly approved to fast track the deployment of the BGU-57A/B or Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). The Pentagon plans to rush the deployment of 10 BGU-57A/B "bunker buster" bombs by June 2010. The MOP is so enormous that it can only be delivered by a B-52 or a B-2A. In fact, the B-2 bombers will need to be refitted in order to carry two MOPs.

Good for them.  It's the right call.

There's my two cents.
