I believe U.S. military does not even have tear-gas.
The use of gas is against the Geneva convention, so as not to get into a pissing contest, the Military does not even inventory civil usage gas.
That said, this is an INF or Iraqi Police Action. They are free to use any civilian gas to quell a civilian uprising.
Semantics, but important.
Well it sure was being pumped out of a tank at the Branch Davidian Compound outside Waco...
"Say hello to my little friend"
If these guys are foreigners as alleged, countless innocent people will be beheaded in attempts to get them out of prison. I dont believe that they can allow them to come out of that mosque alive. We need a creative way to kill them without doing damage to the structure or violating international law.
What about aiming a large radar antenna at the building and microwave them?
Sandia National Laboratories and Boeing have spearheaded in what is being called a first in weapons programs. What is amazing is the amount of time spend on the program. The development started in May, 2003 and has moved from drawing boards, to prototype, to deployment in Iraq.
Based on the KC-135 Stratotanker, the new weapon, has the designation of PF-135. Military sources have refused to publicly acknowledge the development of the PF-135. Sources close to the weapons program have stated that development was able to proceed at a "blistering" pace due to the relative few modifications to the KC-135.
Sandia Labs, in conjuction with an unnamed and secret Los Alamos project, have been able to quickly adapt the world's smallest and most stable nuclear reactor as a power plant. While development efforts existed in the 1950's for nuclear powered aircraft, this project bears no relation. According to unnamed sources, the nuclear power plant is not used to power the aircraft, but to be an internal heat source.
There is much speculation over exactly how the new weapon system will work. One project scientist, with an PhD in Astro Physics from Cal Tech, and a PhD in Theology from Liberty University, has stated that the weapon will completely render any Muslim terrorist or Muslim place of worship inoperable. Information obtained from deep background, which only today has allowed be released in this exclusive report, may reveal just how this weapon fuctions. The new aircraft designation, PF, stands for "Pig Fat". It is speculated that the aircraft's power plant literally renders pig fat, which in turn when dumped from the aircraft will make any Muslim or Muslim places of worship inoperative.
Exactly what other aircraft can spit out 10,000 rounds a minute ?
A 10?
They could make some huge explosiongs by tossing out handgrenades
Actually they drop MOABs out of 130s. (We can dream can't we?)
The worlds largest meat tenderizer!

They always had plenty to train with when I was in. I believe they can get away with using it as it's considered non lethal even though in an inclosed area it will eventually kill ya.
Hey Sadr that "political movement" stuff's starting to look pretty good about now aint it?
The kind of bombs that get pushed out the back of a C-130 are of the UNMISTAKEABLE variety.
A10? Oh yeah for about 90 seconds...
bump
EXCELLENT!!!
I dunno. I hear it is extraordinarily sensitive to any movement on the ground.
