Many previous administrations have studied nuclear bunker busters. One even studied making a sea level canal across Nicaragua - the promoter, Edward Teller, said that radiation would not be a problem. The problem is that the current administration is doing more than just studies. No other administration found nuclear munitions as viable for bunker busting as this one. George Bush Jr's administration apparently does not appreciate the radiation problem.
Is this the same administration that was lambasted for the 'Mother of All Bombs'; that unwieldy pallet of convential bomb used in situations where a highly accurate tactical nuke would be the most effective tool?

[edit: definite article 'the' made into a restrictive 'that']
