Trash Dispatch:
The Grim Reaper has Arrived!
But instead of patrolling our Nation's Borders, it's going to Iraq.
"BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq - The airplane is the size of a jet fighter, powered by a turboprop engine, able to fly at 300 mph and reach 50,000 feet. It's outfitted with infrared, laser and radar targeting, and with a ton and a half of guided bombs and missiles." writes CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent.
"The Reaper is loaded, but there's no one on board. Its pilot, as it bombs targets in Iraq, will sit at a video console 7,000 miles away in Nevada."
That's pretty CooL!
And a Lot Less risk of losing our soldiers on the ground.
But I still wish they were flying over the Mexican Border.
...ehh, make that,
"Guarding the borders of the United States of America."
