Supposing we did that, I bet the immediate response of the Muslim clerics would be to say that being shot by American bullets dipped in hog fat would not in any way affect your after life and that Allah would in fact be more pleased if you offered yourself up on the sacrifice of faith-that no amount of pork fat would detract from that supreme honor of killing the infidels. Remember that amny, if not most, of the fighters the Taliban employs can not even read the Koran and that their only knowledge of Islam is from these clerics. It would be very simple to discount the affects of your phsyc attack. if we were dealing with a population that coould read and study the Koran for themselves, it might work, but as it is I seriously doubt it.

As appears from the letter that has gotten lots of newsplay, the suicide agents are brainwashed into a WEIRD form of Islam. So your concern that a threat of en-larding (sic) Islamic terrorists might have less credibility than it did decades ago, may have some foundation.

However it's still worth a try. Why apply lard to the bullets? Simply use water cannon to shoot a slurry of pork at the same targets being shot at... same effect.
