32. Cluster bombs distortion of facts
It’s true, that the old models left quite a few unexploded ordinance left on the battlefield, but the new generation types have fail mechanisms build in, to self destruct if not exploding when it hits the target. And when used right, it’s an awesome weapon that plays a vital role in us military strike capability.

Also; all our enemies are using it, the biggest ones China, Russia, and Iran. It would be stupid politics of greate proportions, to ban it because of these facts.

Having said that, if the President(Obama or Clinton if elected) could negotiate a world wide ban of these weapons, that pledge the Security Council members to be on the fore front, it might be a different matter But for now...A sound decision by Hillary
