A U.S. military search team studies a Cold War-era MiG-25R Foxbat B, the fastest combat aircraft today, that was buried beneath the sands in Iraq. Several MiG-25s and Su-25 ground attack jets have been found buried at al-Taqqadum air field west of Baghdad.

Excellent news! I am sure there are more where that came from. Any word on WMD?

But... but... but this simply isn't
possible for pity's sake! After all, such leading geo-political intellects as Janeane Garofalo, Al "Bucktooth" Franken and this one really fat, patchouli-stinking chick who posts regularly on the DU boards all regularly
assured us mere yokels, over and over and
over again: "BUSH LIED, THEY DIED!"
Maybe we ought to change that lame, tired 'Rat chant/meme into something a bit more accurate and intellectually honest, in light of these latest revelations...?
I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of: SADDAM LIED... LEFTISTS CRIED." :)

There's NO WAY any WMDs are in Iraq, since we haven't found significant quantities of them above ground yet [/sarcasm]

At the time I think I remember them saying they found 12 MIGs buried in the sand.

I knew a guy who buried his Corvair (it was still running), but this is ridiculous!
