Horrifying US Secret Weapon Unleashed In Baghdad

A nightmarish US super weapon reportedly was employed by American ground forces during chaotic street fighting in Baghdad. The secret tank-mounted weapon was witnessed in all its frightening power by Majid al-Ghazali, a seasoned Iraqi infantryman who described the device and its gruesome effects as unlike anything he had ever encountered in his lengthy military service. The disturbing revelation is yet another piece of cinematic evidence brought back from postwar Iraq by intrepid filmmaker Patrick Dillon.
In the film, al-Ghazali, whose english is less than fluent, describes the weapon as reminiscent of a flame thrower, only immensely more powerful. It is unclear what principle the weapon is based on. Searching for a description, al-Ghazali said it appeared to be shooting concentrated lightning bolts rather than just ordinary flames. Drawing on his many years as a professional engineer, al-Ghazali speculates that radiation of some kind probably figures into the weapon's hideous capabilities. Like all men in Saddam's Iraq, al-Ghazali was compelled to serve in the Iraqi equivalent of the Army National Guard and fought in three wars over the past thirty-odd years. Via email, he told me he has seen virtually every type of conventional weapon employed in battle, and is well acquainted with their effects on people and machines, but nothing in his extensive combat experience prepared him for the shock of what he saw in Baghdad on April 12th.
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.

Oh, they're putting the radioactive lightning bolt generators on tanks now?
I already know about the shoulder-launched version of this weapon, which was issued last March to the top secret Delta Force/"Spirit Warriors" Brigade (which was deployed in the netherworld to ambush the souls of Jihadis before they got to paradise).
I understand they're coming out with a civilian version as soon as the "assault weapons" ban sunsets... Don't bother getting one for deer season, though, I understand it ruins the meat pretty bad.

Somebody has been reading from the "X-Men", or watching "Mutant X". Check to see if this came from The Onion.

Well, just zots. Doctor Frankenstein and I were so close. We had taken a wrecked tank and were going to make it come alive tonight in a thunderstorm.
On to the Smurfs blue beam weapon of death.

I think the Israeli's must have helped us develop this weapon.The Israeli version is somewhat more humane. It hypnotizes before zotting.
