US To Use Magnetic Bombs In Invasion Of Iraq
Source: IRNA
The Saudi-Arabia based Radio Voice of Iraq (VOI), said in its Monday night news, monitored here that the US army will take advantage of "Microwise Bombs" that can generate magnetic caves in its future attack against Iraq.
"Magnetic caves," is it? Generated by "microwise bomb"? I agree. It really was brillig, and then the slithy troves did in fact the mome raths outgrabe...
The VOI added that the Microwise Bombs that will be used in attacks against Iraq for the first time are a new generation of warfare and can make useless all electronic devises, including radars, within a very wide range.
Ahah! It seems they're talking about EMP — electromagnetic pulse — rather than just spouting gibberish. They had one of those in Ocean's 11. They stole it from a research center, where it was being used for, ummm... something...
"Hi, Bob! How'd the test of your EMP bomb go?"
"Dunno, Ralph. All the measuring instruments blew out."
"Tough luck. Have to run it again, huh?"
The said radio without introducing the source of its precise information about the details of a future US attack, added, "the US air force will also use BC2 bombs, that act like cluster bombs and are each loaded with 40 small missiles that are shot in every direction, against Iraqi tanks." It said that the BC2 bombs can totally destroy objects within a 120 square meter circle's area of the place they hit and kill every three out of ten soldiers within the said range.
Sounds like the effects of a multiple rocket launcher attack...
The VOI added, "the other bombs to be used in the US attack against Iraq include the G48s, and small size nuclear bombs, similar to the ones used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan at the end of the World War II, in order to penetrate in to the underground facilities of the Iraqi army, including the shelters of Iraqi soldiers." Such bombs would inflict heaviest human casualties according to the Saudi based Arab language radio. It said that the latter two types that weigh 15 tons each, will explode after digging respectively six and ten meters, and create heavy and horrendous tremors that can destroy buildings within a wide range.
Doctrinally, unless things have changed since my days in the brontosaur corps, we'll retaliate with nuclear weapons, to include use of mininukes, only if we're first attacked using WMDs. Sounds like the announcer was having an attack of hysteria or something...
