FAE = Fuel Air Expolsive:

From this page:

Fuel-Air Explosives [FAE] disperse an aerosol cloud of fuel which is ignited by an embedded detonator to produce an explosion. The rapidly expanding wave front due to overpressure flattens all objects within close proximity of the epicenter of the aerosol fuel cloud, and produces debilitating damage well beyond the flattened area. The main destructive force of FAE is high overpressure, useful against soft targets such as minefields, armored vehicles, aircraft parked in the open, and bunkers.

Fuel/air explosive represent the military application of the vapor cloud explosions and dust explosions accidents that have long bedeviled a variety of industries.

Here's a great visual demonstration.

Fuel-Air-Explosive.

Incinerates chemical, biological, and hopefully components of nuclear weapons before they are dispersed throughout the atmosphere...OUR atmosphere. This is probably why it has taken us so long to advance our attack...supply of such hardware must greatly exceed potential demand for these wonderful, practical, and highly effective weapons. While being offensive tools, they defend the rest of the world from what this monster has concocted in his basement laboratories.

He's dealing with the hope and strong right arm of the free peoples of the planet Earth now...and even if the leaders of so many chicken-$#it countries are making self-important obsticles of themselves right now...until their people get a good, deep gut-wound as we have, and push them into responsible, courageous action for the rest of us, or out of the way...he certainly, clearly knows that we do not wait for cowardly consensus, but always sacrifice ourselves in the front lines, to free the world of murderous opressors...to give the weak and lowly of the world the chance to learn, build, and mend their shamefully ignoble ways.
