This morning on FOX news, I heard something about the first- time use of unmanned equipment in Afghanistan. Did anyone hear this, and could someone explain to me what that is? Thanks.

The Predator unmanned arieal vehicle recently became retrofitted to carry missiles. I'm guessing this is what was referred to.

Could be drone aircraft. Or tiny, hovering, camera-equipped drones. Or unmanned mine-sweepers that slap chains against the ground to set off mines.

Well, you remember all that hooraw about female fighter pilots..?

I think I saw where they were dropping the Berkeley City Council in to negotiate peace.

With enough in the pipeline U.S. could/can rain strikes on Afghonestan forever without exposing any of our troops to danger. Sounds like fun to me.

women and most of the left would count as un-manned. I love women and hate to have them in the same sentence as the left, but I am only stating that they are lacking the physical distinguishing extra's that men have.

Partially flippant, but partially pragmatic, and considering the federal ability to parse: I remember some lesbian biker bars in West Hollywood with attitudinal clientele.
Those bad-ass bitches were softies when it came to charity runs, patriotism, but I imagine sending in a bunch of those mean mutha's could rip the crap out of the Taliban and have time left over for a game of pool.
And our government could say "unmanned attack".
