Pentagon to use new bomb against Afghan caves

 
Quote
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. military will begin using a new bomb in Afghanistan designed to send a suffocating blast through a cave complex without sealing the entrance with debris.

Military researchers rushed the new "thermobaric" bomb to completion after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and it was tested in Nevada on December 14, said Air Force spokesman Capt. Joe Della Vedova. The military was developing the weapon to use against bunkers and other buildings.

 

Osama, you didn't have a clue what you REALLY started, did you?

It's like sucking gophers out of their holes with the plunger  :)

I actually saw some show about environmetalists getting upset with people killing gophers. They've designed a truck with a huge wire cage and a giant vacuum cleaner. They stuck the nozzle into a hole, and voila, you could see small furry things jetting through the transparent hose and into the cage.

"The gophers are confused, but otherwise unharmed" - stated the inventor. "we are going to relocate them at some other location.

Great news!! I'll pass this info on to a nurse I know... her hospital gets all the gay paitents from Fire Island, and they've been seeing an alarming increase in gerbil/anus incidents. Sounds like this thing will handle a gerbil extraction with exceptional results.  :D

Q: whats on the back of Vaseline Jars on Fire Island?
A: pictures of missing gerbils

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
