Seems like a no brainer to use over his palaces, downtown Baghdad is another question...

Been thinking the same thing for several weeks. Lots of military targets, though.

Can these things be focused? As in downwards. I have a vision of the rats suffocating in their bunkers without lights or ventelation.

The E-bombs are conceived to be 'directed' energy weapons, i.e., focused at a target. The will have an area effect, and they could be built as area weapons. But most leaks/publications have described them as guided munitions that release a directed pulse of very high energy, very short wavelength microwaves.

I can't speak to how the wave guide works, but bright people have explained it to me as directing the energy pulse pretty effectively and efficiently.
