Any Ideas on How to Smoke Them Out of the Caves?
Office Discussion | November 2, 2001 | BFO

Posted on 11/2/2001, 7:33:27 PM by BFO

We here in my office were throwing around some ideas on how to get the Al-Qaeda thugs out of their mountain retreats and into the killing zone. One idea was that if we could somehow take over the opening to one of these caves and pump in an explosive gas, it would spread throughout their little world. Upon ignition, preferably at night, we'd fry a good number of towels. A side benefit would be that an eye in the sky could detect heat coming from any other entrances/exits related to the one through which the gas was pumped and the resulting explosion extended. The route would then be marked for further attack.

Any one else been thinking about this stuff??

Why smoke them out? Caves make great tombs.

Infrared sensing is the way to go. The Tallies may be hardy, but they can't eat frozen food. Sooner or later they'll have to build a fire, and that heat has to go somewhere.

Can you say "Fuel-Air Explosive."

Yep, you stop bombing and wait until January. Take a heat signature of the area around 2 or 3 in the morning, and blow the crap out of anything that looks warm!

Caves make great tombs.

Total FReeping Ditto.

Appropriate-size and configuration of conventional or nuclear warheads, spread over the relevant area, seems a logical procedure.

I mean, it's not as if there are THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS GOING ABOUT THEIR DAILY ROUTINES in the remote, uninhabitable frigid forbiding mountain wilderness we've all been reading about, right?

If the perps make a run for it, they're lit up by infared. If they stay hidden, entombment, a la Ground Zero, seems an apt reply.

And a few dozen square miles of radioactive desert would make a nice reference for folks who might consider f*ucking with us again.

Heard a caller on Liddy's show today that was a WWII vet and fought in the Burma campaign (couldn't quite understand the exact location he was saying). He said they dropped naval depth charges into the caves the Japanese were hiding in. He said that the pressure from the explosion would "rip 'em right in half, even the ones that were hiding down deep".

An interesting call/idea to say the least.

Here's what I found with a quick search. Can you expound on what it is/does?

"Radio code for a 3 ship Cell B-52 Strike"

wait till the coldet part of their winter, map the entire area with infra-red. the heat signitures of their cave mouths and those important air vents should then be visible. Then plug them all up. Then wait a few years. or, pour fuel down the vents and toss in one loney hand grenade. you can pick them off as they flow out the entrance. either way works for me.

Small tac nuc from former Soviet Union. When exlooded, radioactive residue indicates where plutonium manufactured, even the run in some cases.

Place by Ranger team in cave near OBL. Exlposion will drop all caves in area and residue will make it look like OBL bought a Russian nuc and was playing with it when....

A coniving mind is a terrible thing to waste.

"Sooner or later they'll have to build a fire, and that heat has to go somewhere."

Maybe not Romulus. Caves are capable of maintaining a constant temperature, depending on the depth.

In order to make a confirmed kill, destroying the cave may not be an option.

I would maybe try sending smoke in the cave while creating a current (perhaps explode a Fuel Air Bomb nearby another entrance). From there, it may be possible to see where the smoke comes out. After that, colapse all cave entrances except one. Then, send in deadly gas and kill all who are still in there. Send in a herd of wild pigs to catch all booby traps, then carefully send in specialized commandos to bring out the dead pieces of sh&% left in the cave.

Watch the Sands of Iwo Jima (with John Wayne) with its real war footage. Notice the Flamethrowers, Close Air Support with naphalm, Marines, and Combat Engineers. That's how it is done.
