Fighting Terrorists

Simple Truck-Bomb Barrier
Simple Pipe Barrier
A simple, portable vehicle barrier for Military Checkpoints in Iraq. It stops car bombers and allows checkpoint personnel a safe standoff distance from exploding car bombs. This barrier was field-tested at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory after the embassy bombings of the 1990s.
Iraq & Nuclear Terrorism

Helicopter Minesweeper
Perhaps one of the quickest, cheapest ways to clear large minefields, and it’s not being used. Includes multimedia demo. Bill believes this device, greatly refined with the help of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, could be used to save the lives of U.S. military personell serving in the mine-infested areas of Afghanistan.

Commentary on America

Dear Terrorist
This letter was penned by the brother of a family friend, and I thought it worth sharing with the world.
Bad American
Someone sent this prose to Ted Nugent, Bill Wattenburg read it on the air, and I liked it enough to post a link to it.
An Ode to America from Romania
This editorial from a Romanian newspaper was sent to Bill Wattenburg, who forwarded it on to me. Goes to show you that not all the other countries hate us and our lifestyle.
The New School Prayer
This prayer may or may not have been written by a teenager in Arizona, but it is still telling, and says something that I think needs to be said.
“The Americans”
Originally broadcast by Gordon Sinclair, June 5, 1973 on radio station CFRB (Toronto, Ontario) as his “Let’s Be Personal” spot. The link above includes the original text, along with an audio clip of the original broadcast. Some interesting details on the history of this document are available on Snopes.com and here.
