The Truth About The MOAB: Bush’s Secret Fear | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from The Intercept by Alex Emmons detailing how the George W. Bush administration and military officials previously refused to use the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB)—known as the "Mother of All Bombs"—due to grave concerns over mass civilian casualties and devastating collateral damage, a restraint abandoned by the Trump administration when dropping it in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province. Drawing on his own experiences visiting military hospitals and operating theatres during his USO tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, Graham provides a powerful firsthand critique of the horrific human cost of war, the silence of corporate media on civilian death tolls, and the vital importance of building an independent anti-war movement.
