Elazul Yagami Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10805240/?GT1=7538 excerpt:LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - There is a new breed of weaponry fast approaching — and at the speed of light, no less. They are labeled "directed-energy weapons," and they may well signal a revolution in military hardware — perhaps more so than the atomic bomb. Directed-energy weapons take the form of lasers, high-powered microwaves and particle beams. Their adoption for ground, air, sea, and space warfare depends not only on using the electromagnetic spectrum, but also upon favorable political and budgetary wavelengths too. That’s the outlook of J. Douglas Beason, author of the recently published book "The E-Bomb: How America’s New Directed Energy Weapons Will Change the Way Wars Will Be Fought in the Future." Beason previously served on the White House staff working for the president’s science adviser under both the Bush and Clinton administrations.

Lucandrake Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) When america puts there money on this, they end up gaining more profit in the end. Edit: I saw a video of 9/11 and how our government actually made it themselves so that we can go into war and make profits, I don't know if it's true but the man said that every time america goes into war we come back with a lot of profits.
