Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."

However, Hammond said the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.

"The truth of the matter is it would have never come to my attention if it was dismissed at the time it was proposed," he said. "In fact, the Pentagon has used it repeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promote non-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it to the highest scientific review body in the country for them to consider."

Gay community leaders in California said Friday that they found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.

Great. This could be the most hilarious waste of US tax payer money in history. How about instead of a "Gay Bomb" that makes the enemy "gay" (thus forcing Osama Bin Laden to try and molest men, instead of goats and camels)...we try making a "bad guy bomb" that "only kills the bad people".
I mean as long as we are going to throw money away on an impossible project.

Or maybe we should flood the Middle East with hot American porn, this will cause terrorists to become all freaked out and distracted by seeing girls who aren't running around wearing "bee keeper" suits...and then we can kill them while they are busy "Spanking the Camel", shall we say. I would love to see Bin Laden killed, and then find a copy of "Penthouse" in his cave, that would embarass Al Qaeda to no end

PS. And while we are on the subject, maybe we could get that Queen Rania to pose for "Middle East Playboy", that would drive terrorists crazy.

I guarantee there are Arabs that find Gila an attractive woman, to improve things: a little gold in the mouth and 20 more lbs would put her in the top running .

look on the bright side, if the gay bomb worked the emeny combatants would be fabulously well dressed......

The whole thing was a pipe dream which would never have worked as the enemy would simply invent the Gaydar.

"U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting."

That might backfire, considering the example of the Spartans.
