More On New Man-Portable Thermobaric WeaponLauraW. already linked to one article about this, but it's worth another go-round, I think. A post-action report from Iraq describes the effect of the new weapon: "One unit disintegrated a large one-storey masonry type building with one round from 100 meters. They were extremely impressed." Elsewhere it is described by one Marine as "an awesome piece of ordnance." They're calling it an "NE" weapon, for "Novel Explosive." I do so enjoy these dry euphemisms the Pentagon employs. They used to call a-bombs "Special Weapons" or "Specials."

Yeah, you got to play in the majors to get access to the really cool stuff, but man-portable thermobarics? That's just too cool. I remember the story going around in GWI when some SAS boys working behind the lines thought the Yanks had gone nuts and started nuking Iraqi positions. We were just using Daisy Cutters to try and clear mine fields. Now we're giving on soldier the power to drop a building? Too fucking cool. Posted by: Robert Modean on November 18, 2005 01:20 PM
And I enjoyed reading the liberal pants-wetting in the comments about the use of this "immoral" weapon. You ask people to care about AMERICAN lives. It is precisely because of these attitudes that people like me project our anger about the lies and actions of the US administration onto the US soldiers.

Ah, so it's the GOVERNMENT'S fault the liberals don't support the troops, eh? Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 18, 2005 04:16 PM
I need new glasses. I read the title as "Thermo-barbaric." ;-) Posted by: Mary in LA on November 18, 2005 06:36 PM
One only major flaw in this weapon that I can see is that I can't order one on Amazon. Defense Tech's writers seem to be borderline moonbat. Posted by: holdfast on November 18, 2005 06:54 PM

Socialist usurper Obama cut commercials urging Virginians to vote for the bizarre "lobster" gerrymander -- but now says gerrymanders are so racist you guys Obama is complaining about the new Louisiana map -- but here's the thing, the new map has much more compact and rational borders than the old racial gerrymander map Pete Bootyjudge is whining too. But here's the Illinois gerrymander he supports.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
