Sounds Good To Me!

Unmanned Predator? I don't think I've ever seen a manned Pradator.

Unmanned Predator

I have got to get me one of those....

[Coop]

Ch-ching! I can't tell if they're tears of laughter or joy, but please pass the tissues.

Nice shootin'!

I always wanted to be a UAV pilot, but could never fit into the tiny flight suit.

....the Predator launched the 100-pound Hellfire missile, killing all three insurgents.

Oddly enough....this will not be their last experience with Hellfire.

[Coop]

:-D Good one!

Careful what you wish for. Remember what the "u" stands for. You can be un-manned.

[Coop]

Ouch! I think I liked it better when they were RPVs!

[Mr. Lucky]

You missed your calling.

Coming soon to a city near you.

"that we're watching you, and we will take action against you any time, day or night, if you continue to stand in the way of progress"

Very useful tools for our guys in the Middle East, I enjoy these accounts. There was an article earlier today about Preds being used here at home to watch folks in the US. The quote from above may take on a whole different feeling later on.

[Tinman]

Good news for the good guys!

Of course, the MSM won't let the folks back home hear any of it.

I look at that headline and can't help thinking that this might be how liberals view handguns and SUV's: mindless killing machines seemingly capable of independent action.

[Allegra]

The DOD is a much better source for information than the MSM, isn't it?

The Iraqis have been doing a good job of ratting out the terrorists for well over a year now but you never really hear about that in the media.

Those drones sound like mopeds coming up behind you. From the sound, you can't really tell that they're in the air until they're right over you.

[Grandma Pam]

Thanks for the good news! How soon do you think this will show up in the MSM?

[ONETWOONE]

Did we get two birds with one stone?

Guns don't kill people. It's those damn bullets! ;-) (Tip o' the hat to the unknown comedian I stole that from)

[Allegra]

LOL - great minds think alike. We made our posts within seconds of each other.

[Coop]

So your hearing is skewed as well? That can't be an easy thing to pull off.
