Experts expect high-powered directed energy weapons to be used if we attack Iraq.

[Random Variable]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 ? U.S. warplanes may soon have a powerful new weapon, according to experts who expect any attack on Iraq to deploy high-powered directed energy weapons for the first time. The weapons are hailed as being able to wipe out all electricity, including air defenses, communications and radar, without killing millions of civilians. :Q:Q

yeah I just saw this report on msnbc too... too bad we dont have more details on how this thing works and exactly what it will do... But I guess since it's still in the development stage they wont release much information...

But in the end, you still need troops/ground forces to go in and take the city... this part is unavoidable...

they already used this weapon in kosovo when removing milosevic. special emp pellet bombs took out electricity for days, but when saddam is hiding in his undeground bunker cave will it matter?

but if we do goto war, u can expect oil prices to double overnight. cuz everyone expects saddam to go wacky and destroy OPEC oil supplies in kuwait and saudi arabia, and oil will be $40-50 a barrel

bush might attack as his ratings slip and the congressional election this november... not to mention the big oil companies fill republican coffers

Prices will likely rise but Iraq alone is responsible for something like only 3% of US consumption of oil. Opec is also losing its grip. If it gets stupid with things Russia and others will step up their production to bridge the gap. Yes it will hurt but open isn't in total control of our oil.
