“Excellent image”

It’s a drawing - not my medium. Occasionally I post ones that aren’t mine.

“Or killing people by dehydration and starvation”

Agreed. That must have been the post painful death ever - maybe even something like crucifixion - it would have been more humane if they’d got their SEIU guy to kick Mrs Shiavo until she stopped breathing.

> Very strange laws we have.

Option #2 from above is not law. We didn't have Mirandizing and civil trial of Terrorists captured out of the US under George Bush ...
or even under Bill Clinton.

These things are driven by the judgment and agenda of the POTUS, who just so happens to also be the CinC ...

Obama and the Generals

How about nose art?

Sure would be neat if we could get the FR logo on one of those birds.

Technically, that is not a Predator. It is a Reaper. The obvious difference is that the predator has a V tail pointing down while the Reaper has it pointing up with a smaller fin pointing down.

But we all see where this is going. Give it another five years. All the pilots will be in North Dakota going home to the wife and kids after each mission. And the planes will out-fly the Raptor.

From the wires:

The house targeted in Sunday's attack was being used by Usman Jan, the head of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, intelligence officials said.

Five Uzbeks were killed in the strike, but it was unclear if Jan was among them. Jan's predecessor, Tahir Yuldash, was also killed in a drone strike in South Waziristan last year.

At least one suspected U.S. drone fired on a house in Pakistan's volatile tribal region Sunday, killing 20 people in the 11th such attack since militants in the area orchestrated a deadly suicide bombing against the CIA in Afghanistan, intelligence officials said.
Thanks NormsRevenge. Rumor should be spread (and it would go viral in no time) that these drones and their armaments are dipped in pig's blood -- but only if they're being used against the Islamofascists. It's their stupid superstition, after all, and it would discourage recruitment. What would the recruiters do, tell those resistant to the spiel that the pig thing is just a baseless nitwit legend?
