Damn good catch Brad.

Time to revisit the germ theory of government before the plague takes us down.

(How's this?)

You wimpy liberals. Those weren't rustlers. That's just what the lamestream media would have you believe. Those were terrorists disguised as rustlers. They were putting bombs in those trojan cows. It's also absolutely clear from the aerial photographs that Colin Powell(personal friend) showed me that several of the cows had been dressed in exploding cow underwear. Others appear to have been shod with explosive hooves.

We absolutely must keep up the drone flights in North Dakota until we find the hidden caches of exploding cow ordinance. Apparently the terrorists have these bovine bunkers throughout the West and Midwest. If you don't have an exploding cow, you should have nothing to worry about.

(Not bad, David Lasagna. But just in case the wingers would like an alternate argument, how about this?)

Those weren't cow rustlers! Those were lefty, environmental extremist terrorists, I bet! They were probably trying to round up those cows so they could kill them, because everyone knows --- as Rush Limbaugh proves regularly on his radio show, even though the lamestream media won't report it, so the American people never get to here the real truth that he reports every day --- that cow farts are the number one source of "global warming"! If there was such a thing as "global warming" anyway, which, of course, there isn't! Not that the Enviro-terrorists know that, of course!

So I'm glad our government is using these important tools in the War on Terror to keep us safe from our own homegrown terrorists! Hope they use them to bomb Greenpeace headquarters next time and take out all the America-hating terrorists all at once!

Who's going to be on target in the future? Bloggers who reveal news instead of MSM corporate propaganda?

Not everyone thinks the use of drones is cost effective.

Customs and Border Protection reported that drones have been responsible for the apprehension of 7,500 illegal immigrants since they began operating six years ago — a tiny fraction of the total number of arrests that have been made over the same period. Using other means, in six years, the agency has apprehended almost 5 million people.

T.J. Bonner, head of the National Border Patrol Council, a labor union representing border patrol agents, said the low numbers prove that money is better spent on manned aircraft and boots on the ground.

...If I had a rocket launcher...

5 MILLION ARRESTED! In SIX years? Where are they putting them all?? Oh my god!!
