Talk about psychological warfare! I immediately went on Orange Alert and started duct tapping the plastic sheeting as soon as I saw that.
I think the Secret Service should also be aware of the bike tire, inner tube, waterballon contraption some kids down the street are building in their treehouse.

I really don't know what I was picturing in my mind, I just know this wasn't anything close to what I thought it would be. This is the latest HUGE breakthough intended to rally worldwide support for a war? I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

Funny, that thing could carry a kiloton nuclear payload, or enough nerve agent to kill the city of New York.

I don't think anyone here doubts it can carry WMD, it just looks like a PoS.
/sense of humor off

Yes and so could any car, motorcycle or even person on rollerblades.. yet you don't see those pointed out as smoking guns!
The way this item was blown out of proportions is ridiculous.

Any car could, some motorcycles could with some serious welding work, and no way in hell is a person on rollerblades going to be able to, perhaps you should study the issue at hand before commenting on it?

It's called sarcasm. Perhaps you should get an education before commenting?
And yes, a guy on rollerblades could cary plenty powdered WMDs to do quite a bit of damage.

I don't pretend to know how much yer average 1Kt nuke weighs when ready for deployment but if that piece of shit can carry one i'll eat my hat.
The point stands. If this is a threat worth going to war over so is a donkey that could have anthrax spores shoved up it's arse.

Folks,
Don't miss the fact that the picture above is clearly labelled as a prototype.
The one inspected has a wingspan of around 25 ft and could easily carry a fairly hefty payload of whatever.
And it's still a shitty piece of equipment.
