It has been confirmed by the Pentagon that US forces in Iraq will use the latest high tech weapon, which until now was an ultra-secret weapon in development.

Although still in its experimental stage, the high powered microwave device, will be launched on a cruise missile, and aimed at Saddams bio and chemical weapons sites.

When the missile hits, it wont blow everything to bits, but rather it will cause a short circuit and leave weapons guidance systems un usable and useless. It will unleash up to 2 billion watts of power on any electronics with in 1000 feet.

Me too. In fact, I aid the terrorists too damn much. I am trying to cut down a little. :)
You know the lungs have taken a beating in the last few years since I moved to Australia where they aren't so uptight about smoking marij... err I mean aiding terrorists.

So an EMP bomb is secret, yet they say what it does. Doesn't seem too secret now.

I have been aiding them and abetting them for many years now. You reach a point in which you no longer care about anything but aiding terrorists.

I thought the secret weapon was to drop Rosie Odonnel on Iraq. This way they can kill 2 birds with one stone...so to speak.

Would this thing be safe near humans? Looking at the specs, it seems like it would either toast or electricute a human near it. Also, getting back to electrical equipment for a second; if something is EMP'd, how do you salvage it? It would seem that it would be "destroyed" either way.

all im saying is that its probably a lot safer near humans than a traditional bomb.
