Secret Weapon?

Post by Darrell »

I wouldn't piss on 60 Minutes or Bob Woodward if they were on fire, but I read elsewhere that Woodward claimed during his interview on the show last night that the US is using some revolutionary new weapon in Iraq, that it's being used against high value targets, high ranking Al Queda and such. My first thought was the C130 based laser we talked about recently. Has anybody heard anything, or care to speculate?

The "brown note"? :mrgreen:
Actually, that's more fantasy than speculation, and it's probably not something they'd use against high value targets anyway, even if they had it. But I heard that they installed a sound weapon of some sort on cuise ships though, but that's a purely defensive system.

Ya' think it might be the same thing discussed in this thread - about a "secret weapon" being used in Georgia?
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Woodward must have discovered the Secret Squirrel Segway Squad. Expect him to "disappear" soon.
