New type missile

It slices--it dices. "Now" how much will you pay?

I guess this has specific uses where minimal noise is needed.

You know, we need to learn to keep our mouths shut. There is no reason to reveal this.

Maybe we do and maybe we have better things than this? Hopefully.

Hopefully. But remember during the war in Iraq, we were always saying, "We captured so and so?" Remember how we told the word we killed Bin Laden?

If it had been me, I would have put out a rumor that so and so and Bin Laden escaped. Then I'd enter the enemy's communications net and practice Imitative Deception.

Back in the days when the U.S. was fighting Iraq SNL did a skit on the press interviewing Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell and others. Some the questions from the press were "how can we better warn the enemy what our next moves will be?", "what other secrets can we give away" and "how can be better put our service men in harms way by releasing confidential information?".

Remember at the time most every night Schwarzkopf would give a briefing on what had been done that day and what the next moves might be. WAY too much info.

Schwearzkoff started the media pool. Only one reporter from the "pool" was allowed to attend his brief and they had to share wiyth the others on the pool. Reporters rotated every day. Great idea.

Then the press screamed the american people have the right to know. The american people responded that they did not, that they were our sons and for the media to butt out.
