Sorry - I mixed them up.

I find it odd how these things are suddenly turning up all over.

Patriot Missile Found In Fla. Scrap Yard
Missle Had Rocket Motor, Guidance System

TAMPA, Fla. — A Patriot missile with its guidance system and rocket motor was found in a Tampa scrap metal yard, according to authorities. Explosives experts at MacDill Air Force Base were called to the scrap yard on July 11 to identify an odd-looking object in a heap of junk.

The experts said the object was a surface-to-air missile, minus its warhead — so it’s harmless.

They say it appeared to be a training model, and still had its rocket motor and guidance system.

If a Democrat was president, the news media would gush over the great intelligence and police work that’s involved in stopping these guys before they strike again.

Since a Republican is president, they can complain about why Bush didn’t discover this rocket launcher sooner and wonder about whether we are connecting the dots...........

Maybe this is a way to keep the FBI’s interest diverted and busy elsewhere.

If that’s the case, what a bunch of morons.

I mean, even the FBI can quit investigating duds if the agents need to be doing something else.

Unlike al-Quaeda, whose purposes are tunnel-vision-oriented: Blow up infidels, pick up your “Pass Jail and Go Straight to Paradise” card.

Just wait until they get to their so-called paradise only to learn that it was Satan all along, and he’ll just stand there saying, “Just kidding, you idiot. Now keep shoveling.”
