Horrifying US Secret Weapon Unleashed In Baghdad
2003-12-09
Indymedia’s laugh of the day. EFL
On that date, al-Ghazali and his family sheltered in their house as a fierce street battle erupted in his neighborhood. In the midst of the fighting, he noticed that the Americans had called up an oddly configured tank. Then to his amazement the tank suddenly let loose a blinding stream of what seemed like fire and lightning, engulfing a large passenger bus and three automobiles. Within seconds the bus had become semi-molten, sagging "like a wet rag" as he put it. He said the bus rapidly melted under this withering blast, shrinking until it was a twisted blob about the dimensions of a VW bug. As if that were not bizarre enough, al-Ghazali explicitly describes seeing numerous human bodies shriveled to the size of newborn babies. By the time local street fighting ended that day, he estimates between 500 and 600 soldiers and civilians had been cooked alive as a result of the mysterious tank-mounted device.
Ahah! The finally got that thing working, did they? 'Bout time...

#12  If I'm not mistaken, George Forman is the pitchman for this new Super weapon. Or is this a Ronco product?

#8  Hey, does anybody know when they're going to patch super-duper-melter-gun this into the latest version of America's Army?

I can't wait to try it out. *g*

#4  Isn't this the thing they used in Ghostbusters? Guess the army's pretty confident that Saddam is dead.
