I don't believe all that talk of superweapons. Why didn't they already use them in Afghanistan?? I thought for sure they would implement their ways to eliminate those a-holes from using their radio communications on their shortwave transcievers, BUT NOOOOOOOOO! T.V. reports show the monkeys talking on their transceivers left and right. What's up with that?! I'm p*ssed that USA didn't do somthing to eliminate their crude radio communication "network". Even just dropping radios with like frequencies with transmission button taped "ON" would have worked.

Actually, we monitored their communications as a way to tell what was going on in their ranks. I believe that was how we knew Atef was killed. The clever terrorists broadcast the results of their "search-and-rescue" efforts on their radios. Also, some of our spotters spoke Arabic. They would ask their targets if they had been hit and the targets, assuming they were talking to comrades, obliging told them how far off the bombs had hit.

We also used it to sow disinformation. Surrender instructions and related information was sent over these frequencies.

Why would you use superweapons against cave men? It's a waste. Use what the world can accept and against an Iran or North Korea, give them the demonstration that will terrify everyone into (as Cartman would say) "respecting our authoriti"......
