Your Weapon of Choice?
Listeners called and wrote in today to express a huge, often hilarious arsenal of ideas regarding just what journalist-turned-tool Bob Woodward is referring to when, in recent interviews about his latest book, he talks about a “true breakthrough” by the US military — some kind of “top secret… operational capabilities” that help “locate, target and kill” enemy leaders. Speculation ranged from Pete’s idea of tiny robots that sneak around and find you then somehow snuff you, to a crass idea suggested by suspiciously Tard-like caller “Drat”: Goat AIDS, which would strike Taliban fighters when they “sought comfort” on cold nights in the countryside.
So what’s your guess? Check out highlight’s from Woodward’s 60 Minutes appearance below…
I thought he was full of shit from the beginning. It sounds like something a little kid would say, “I have a secret, but I can’t tell you! The government has secret weapons that they won’t tell anyone about…except me! Haha, nanny nanny!”
If the government had top secret weapons, they wouldn’t show them to a fuggin journalist and then just “hope” he didn’t tell anyone. If by some chance he DID see something, they surely would have made him sign something that would prevent him from talking about it at ALL.
Total BS. Right on big bro.

To be fair, it sounds like some sources actually leaked something to Woodward, and others told him to keep it quiet. I don’t actually think he’s making it up. But, yeah, he could easily be getting played on this. I mean, it got him to go on 60 Minutes and say, “If you’re a bad guy, get out of town.” If I were the Pentagon, I might tell some lieutenant colonel to let slip news of this made-up secret weapon, then have a general tell the journalist, “Keep the specifics hush.”
Okay, they just retired the stealth fighter (Its first flight was in the late 70s)… The JSF and F22 Raptor are actually older programs at this point.
Seriously, what have we done in Area 51 the last 30 years!?
