That's it - time to get out.

God what a bunch of morons.

I can't help but think they've paid $26.00 to see the last thing that
goes through bug's mind as he hits the windshield....

I hear reports, though, that they have discovered a new thing.... I
think they call it encryption... or something like that....


US Military is the Republican equivalent of Acorn.

Let's ship 'em another 1000 pallets of 100s.

Civilian contractors built these things and bright spark engineers design
them. The military does it's best to come up with the things they want the
new tool to do.
One of the bigger failings of the Iraq war is not giving the opposition
enough credit in thier ability to counter our counter attacks and this leads
to things like not protecting the data being sent home by the drones.
We've been around for 233.5 years. They've been around for THOUSANDS of
years and unlike us they don't forget eveything every generation.

Good analysis.

We can't remember 10 years, let alone a generation. Human beings are
clever, no matter their region of origin. Why we wouldn't give them
credit for being so is among our failings, for sure.
