New US weapon unleashed horror in Iraqi,Unbelivable.....?

Question

On that date April 12th 2003, 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,he explicitly describes seeing numerous human bodies shriveled to the size of newborn babies.Cox report that former USSR once was deeply involved in exploring high-powered electromagnetic weapons, but now Russia is no longer pursuing them. Other nations believed to be conducting research and arming these arsenals are China,Great Britain and France.

Answer 1

That is not exactly an Alternative Fuel Vehicle question. In fact, it isn't really a question at all.

Answer 2

oh stop it...missles,flame throwers and cannon.....bang boom

Answer 3

I think it should be pointed out here that this is not inconceivable. The U.S. generally will have a weapon nowadays for around ten years before they reveal its existence. The simple reason is that if an enemy doesn't know you have it they can't build a defense against it. A lot of work has been done on EM and charged-particle beam weapons and not just theoretical. Some of these have actually been tested. Proof or not, the allegations in the narrative are within the realms of possibility.

Answer 4

You've posted this 9 different times over the past 2 days. If you can't get it through your head that:

1. No one believes you without a link.

2. The power source required would be too massive to transport.

3. Nobody cares....

Answer 5

pigs will fly.

Answer 6

Interesting.  Too bad you didn't quote your source for the copy paste article.  Or if those are your words, you should be a journalist.

Answer 7

This reminds me of the one about "pollution physically altering man (through adaptation)"

I had almost forgot about the Six Million Dollar Man as a source of science information.  It's all coming clear to me now!

Answer 8

Unbelievable ? Maybe...where did you pick this Ghazali's witnessing, it's rather interesting...at least folks which had been killed by this odd weapon didn't suffer much...

Answer 9

Given the seemingly bottomless lust for power at any cost that characterizes the Imperial U.S. government, it is not inconceivable that they would develop some means to make slaughter more efficient. After all, the real reason why no media outlets in the U.S. ever substantively discuss civilian casualties in Iraq is that no one wants to expose the genocide that the "American" government has committed in that country. Old men, women, children: unarmed, noncombatant civilians have been slaughtered at a rate of 2-3,000 a month. Now, think of how many months the U.S. has occupied Iraq. Do the math. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, the U.S. ever does now or in the future will ever make up for the devastation of infrastructure and the depopulation that Iraq has endured.

Perhaps it's time someone suggest we all demand the U.S. relinquish it's WMD's.

Answer 10

sounds like an iraqi tall tale

..............or white phosphorus

Answer 11

The physics involved to do what you claim happened is not of this universe. These tales are usually generated by persons who have "oppositional defiance disorder" (see Diagnostic Criteria DSM IV), hate their fathers or have delayed teenagehood resulting in an anti-establishment (anti-authority) psychopathology.

Answer 12

Proof please?

Answer 13

Please make or find a tin foil cap and start wearing it 24/7.  Hopefully this will protect your feeble brain, or what is left of it, from the conspiracy theory waves that are affecting it.  Make sure it is tin foil because aluminum foil simply will not work.

Answer 14

Interesting piece of fiction

Answer 15

Wasn't that cool!!  Psst, it is an exact copy of the Venus probe from the Six Million Dollar Man series!! b

Answer 16

unbelievable

Answer 17

I can believe that the US is pursuing EM weapons as an alternative to conventional warfare.  A flamethrower/EM tank that destroys the metal supports of a bus so that it's sagging within seconds...  ok, I can give that the benefit of the doubt but it's a stretch.  However, shrinking adults into the size of a fetus or shrinking a bus into the size of a VW?  Yeah right.  First of all, the Law of Conservation of Mass says it won't happen.  Second, even if you found a way around the conservation of mass, if there was enough energy (heat or EM) to melt steel in only 3 seconds (let's say it was really 10 seconds), the corpses will be long gone because they would have been vaporized with that much energy intake.

It's an Urban Legend and you just fell for it.  Next time you hear of an unbelievable story, do a quick search on google such as "urban legend tank EM weapon".  You might have come across:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
