>>I would imagine that a number of U-2’s, similar aircraft and additional technologies are mapping every cave and rock in Afghanistan, before we do anything “serious”. The U-2 at 20 miles altitude can take pictures of people on the ground with remarkable resolution. After mapping the area and the proper logistics are in place I think we will see some very pointed actions.

>>It took about 6 months of planning and logistic build up before we “got serious” during the Gulf War. This is much more complex but I am sure we have only begun to prepare what will occur. Now if we could just have access to the minds of people we would know who is a terrorist!

>I agree. My response was to Peter's query about the possibility of using radio controlled model airplanes to deliver biologicals, if the military were using them for survailance. I pointed out to him that those RC's were big enough to carry people, if they weren't carrying extra fuel, survailance technology and, in some cases, armament.

The one I remember reading about was capable of being humvee or bradly mounted. Old fashing Startrek 'phasors' except they aren't hand carried. Hear anything about it?

Do a web search for HECL (High Energy Chemical Laser). Sounds like the ultimate weapon! Find old Bin Ladden out cleaning his guns and fry him right where he sits :)
