Add a Hellfire to that loiter time and ???????? (A heck of a deer rifle for logos - grin)

Loaded for bear!!!

I really do not have enough information to make a judgement on using unmanned UAV's over American soil, I can see some exellent uses for this but I also see dangers. The devil will as always be in the details of how it would be employed.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

I can't see a legitimate use for UAVs, armed or unarmed, over America. The idea behind a UAV is to avoid risking live pilots over hostile territory. While we do have hidden enemies on the ground, they are not shooting at aircraft. They don't have troop movements on the ground, and they aren't broadcasting electronic signals that UAVs might pick up.

What exactly could these UAVs discover, and why are they floating a trial balloon about arming them? About the only thing they'd be good for is keeping an eye on "militias" and "religious (Christian) extremists" out in the countryside, like Waco. We already know that klinton is sending his buttboys out saying the anthrax is "right wing", and this UAV business seems to dovetail nicely with that blood libel.
