I think things will get really serious if the USAF starts moving B-52's to Diego Garcia--and bring along with them the AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile armed with W-80 200 kT nuclear warheads.

I don't think anybody is seriously considering irradiating the second larget oil fields in the world. The Neutron would be the safest bet IMHO. Vaporize all living flesh, leave all structures and plants untouched and walk into empty cities inside of 4 days to take over. Deep bunker? Neutron radiation goes all the way to the earths core with killing power.

The AGM-129's will be aimed specifically at military sites and nuclear production facilities, NOT any oil production facilities.

Neutron bombs don't kill by vaporizing flesh, they kill by giving everyone radiation poisoning.

Not a pleasant way to go.

You - or your source, which ever the case - do not know what you're talking about. Neutron radiation can be 99% stopped by a few inches of steel + 4 - 6 feet of polyethylene.

I do know whereof I speak, as I worked in the field at one time.
