That's why it's not targeting SAM sites, but Saddam's supposed WoMD.
Anyway, I think the idea is not to keep them from operating them indefinitly, but to knock them out temporarily in the initial stages of the war, to stop retaliation against our troops and Israel by way of scuds or WoMD.
Besides, the US wants to capture his WoMD for further proof, not vaporize them.
Lime roots and treachery!

I'd rather NOT hear about military secrets... it makes me really uncomfortable to know them... dont you just sense something is wrong if you know about a secret that easily?
High powered microwave beams are very dangerous to living organisms.
I can't tell if this works along the same lines as EMP bombs, but it doesn't look that way. In fact, I am not sure if it actually works as advertised.

Our economy would crumble instantly.
If it works, that is. But you are right. It also works very well against the US military.

It sounds like interesting technology, but I find it very difficult to believe that 2 billion W of radiation capable of frying electronics in a 1000 feet radius (it has to start out with a high enough frequency such that its not too damped out by the air) is going to cause nothing more than an "uncomfortable sensation" to the people near the explosion.
It's true that transistors don't have much tolerance for extra current, but I'm skeptical.

Why do you say that? It by definition is an EMP bomb...

Faraday cages can only effectively shield certain frequency bands of radiation. So unless these weapons are really crappy, the PC's will be affected.
