A good weapon. Must be careful to not let it backfire.

Hasn't the Chicoms installed a fiber optic system? I'm sure I read that. EMP won't affect fiber.

To lazy to go search for it, but I'm quite sure there was an article yesterday about Britain having made such a device, and that they were planning on using it on Iraq.

Good! We're just one tiny step away from an electrochemical pulse bomb that will re-boot the human brain for a thousand miles around Mecca and Medina.

Bejing, Moscow, and most of Europe could stand to have one dropped on them, too.

Let's keep those R&D dollars pouring into the Pentagon!

I would be very uncomfortable about giving the rest of the world a lets develop EMP urge. Nobody is more vunerable to EMP than the US.

Start worrying when we use mass drivers.

EMP small potatoes, can eventually be repiared, but mass drivers now that is a little more of a problem.

They did this in the re-make of Ocean's 11. I guess NewsMax watches the movies to come up with their Top Secret Exclusive Breaking News Bulletin Cover Stories. What a joke!

Every day we are seeing stories about how and when we are going to get Saddam. This is baiting. Our government is hoping that Saddam will feel cornered and lash out in some way. Then Our government will have its' justification to attack. I think this is a weak strategy. I wish our government was able to make a compelling case against Saddam. If they were able to, there wouldn't be so much resistance to the attack.

I once heard a story about some engineers who were laughing at the primitive vacuum tube electronics in a captured Russian MIG, until someone pointed out that this stuff would be relatively immune to EMP.

I believe this weapon has already been used by the US during the Kosovo War in Yugoslavia.

Such an attack would play havoc with OBL's next dialysis session.

And we can only hope that Saddam and his cronies all have pacemakers.............
