I am in the military research business. One of the things I like doing is thinking of ways we could crush our enemies very cheaply, with common everyday things, and with almost no damage to their infrastructure that we would have to rebuild. Here are a few.

Animal bombs. What your average Iranian guard do if his guardshack was attacked with a large projectile full of ants, or bees. I'm thinking the size of medicine balls here. What if it was filled with snakes? What about rats? Don't think you'd be too concerned with the enemy at that point do you? No amount of armor, no matter how modern would save your ass either. What if we dropped larger sacks of bees over cities? What would a few days of dropping fire ants do to a city? Where could you hide? Termites? What about termites?

The above doesn't even address animals that certain religions forbid contact with, such as pigs. Could do some serious damage to prepared defenses of certain cities in the world if we released a herd of pigs into the area before attacking.

New one I came up with today is the garbage bomb. What if we started airlifting our trash to Tehran? What would they do if we supressed their air power, as we easily did to the Iraquis, and began slowly filling their streets with our garbage? How long till the people just left the city? Disease, stink, no clear roads. These are huge problems for any city.

Don't like dumping our garbage on them? That too cruel? Worried about identity theaves? OK how bout dropping our raked up leaves on Tehran? How long till that toppled their city? Their sewer system is not designed to handle leaves. A few days of dropping bags of leaves on them would completely cripple their infrastructure. A few weeks would make the city unlivable. Plus there is the fear of a fire. I believe a city wouldn't last a month of constant leaf bombing.

What do you think?

Oh by the way, if you couldn't tell, I'm pro attacking Iran.;)
 
Good stuff, Andy.
Maybe we could just drop 80 million copies of The Three Stooges videos on Iran. They would be vulnerable for at least ten minutes.

I thought about dropping all the welfare and malcontents into China once....the crazy thoughts you get.

It is interesting; what non lethal stuff could you drop that would end war?

(I am not for 'attacking Iran' at this juncture in time. I am for interceding into their nuclear missle program)

I wouldn,t wish this on anyone .It would be too cruel .What about shipping politicians over there . Just strap a parachute to their back a portable P:A: system in their arms and a good swift kick on their behinds .

Had Sharon not had a stroke we may not have needed to worry. Oh well.

I know it sound silly to think that a common thing like leaves could cripple a city, but its a serious question. Do you think trash or leaves would accomplish the goal? How long do you think it would take?
 
Maybe we should gather up all the loose styro foam packing materials in the US and drop that.

They made bat bombs in WW2, though never deployed. Incendiary device on each bat. Woulda worked great in WW2 era japan, which is what they were designed for.

Course, couldnt' use animal bombs these days anyway, peta members would have a heart attack.
 
Andy's homemade napalm.

5 parts styrofoam packing material
1 part gasonline
5 parts Peta members

Resistance is futile.;)

But we could drop Peta members, right?

My God, Munk. You ARE a barbarian!;) I'd just as soon be lit with Greek Fire than have one more person waving a tofu burger in face:D I think it would be humane to just drop an H-bomb.

NO one would complain about their loss. Except maybe other peta members. Doubt even their moms would complain, in most cases. ;)

Yes, I have a bit of a bias here. :) Love animals, just dislike peta.

What exactly isthe downside on that ? L:O:L
 
How about LAWYERS? Parachute all the members of all the BAR associations into the area, it might not help the situation in that country, but it would get them out of here.

What bums me out about Iran is that the whole situation is entirely of our own making.

"In All the Shah's Men, Stephen Kinzer of the New York Times suggests that the explanation may lie next door in Iran, where the CIA carried out its first successful regime-change operation over half a century ago. The target was not an oppressive Soviet puppet but a democratically elected government whose populist ideology and nationalist fervor threatened Western economic and geopolitical interests. The CIA's covert intervention—codenamed TPAJAX—preserved the Shah's power and protected Western control of a hugely lucrative oil infrastructure. It also transformed a turbulent constitutional monarchy into an absolutist kingship and induced a succession of unintended consequences at least as far ahead as the Islamic revolution of 1979—and, Kinzer argues in his breezily written, well-researched popular history, perhaps to today......."

Thru our overthrow of a democratically elected gov't in Iran, and of course our intervention on the side of Islamic Fundamentalists in Afghanistan we sewed the seeds of the terrorisim we have now been reaping for about 20 years now.

Hopefully Iraq will turn out better, but right now it hangs in the balance.

Oh yea, bug weapons- fleas.
 
Did any of you hear about the chicken nuke plan in the cold war?
Early on in the cold war the american army was trying to figure out what to do ifthe soviets attacked on the ground through eastern germany. The army needed somthing to slow the soviet advance to give them time to retreat from berlin, they figured on burying nukes underneath the path of retreat and setting them off when needed. The problem with this was that in winter near berlin the temerature drops too low for a nuke to remain functional. Some genius figured if you grab a dozen chickens from a near by farm and build the bomb casing big enough to hold them the chickens body heat will keep the machinery warm enough for about 8 days. This was a serous plan that recieved alot of military funding (probably halaberton, showing the cheney families hidden agenda againsed small gound fowl). Milions of dollars later sombody figured out that if the sensative machinery inside a 1950s nuke couldnt stand the cold of a german winter it probably couldnt stand 8 days worth of grade A radioactive chicken manure either. I think I'd still rather eat one of thoes birds than anything from KFC.

Of course you know the Ruskies would know eggzactly when those bombs were going to go off ? Can,t you see a bunch of Boris, bully boys sitting around a campfire and trying to figure out who had the contraband chicken hidden away . I can just see them frantically searching for where that dull clucking sound was coming from ! L:M:A:O:
 
The Pahlavi family was corrupt long before the CIA got to Iran.
Of course, I ran was a place where corrupt, extreme (in any direction)
regimes would NEVER thrive on thier own. :rolleyes:

We need to patent the "Pig Offal Cannon."

Messy (and irreligious) but non-lethal.

Google the Army's "pain beam." Nice to have, but I'd rather be flashed with that than have a balloon full of red ants pop over my head.
