I wonder if it flew fully loaded. Was Dick Cheney driving?

‘The drone is scheduled to begin patrolling the northern U.S. border in January. Its flights will originate from the Grand Forks base.’

Gov’t at work. Treason.

Sure, it’s the millions of Canadians invading across the border. Raping, murdering and killing our sisters and mothers.

In August 2005, a version of Predator B, called Sky Warrior, was chosen for the four-year system development and demonstration (SDD) phase of the US Army’s extended range / multi-purpose (ER/MP) UAV programme – 11 Sky Warrior systems, each with 12 air vehicles and five ground control stations.

Initial operating capability is planned for 2009. Two block 0 Sky Warrior UAVs were deployed to Iraq in April 2008.

Also in August 2005, the US Department of Homeland Security / Customs and Border Protection (DHS/CBP) ordered two Predator B systems for monitoring of the USA’s south-west border. The first was delivered in late 2005, the second in September 2006. Two further systems were ordered in October 2006, for monitoring operations on the border with Canada.

So why will this drone be patroling the North Dakota/Canadian border rather than the Arizona and Texas borders where the trouble is. Are we being overrun by Canadians?

(smacking my hand against my forehead in exasperation)

[ScreamingFist]

After two failed tries, an unmanned aircraft expected to be the first to patrol the northern U.S. border completed a flight from Arizona to North Dakota.

For crying out load, deployed from the southern border to the northern border.....words fail me.

The caribou must be planning a major invasion operation. Haha.

[wolfcreek]

No problem. We’ve got the Mexican authorities keeping a close watch on our southern border.

Probably needed to discourage all those Canucks streaming into northern U.S. states for elective type medical care. The Canadian health care system is ineffective, bordering on chaotic. This will all change after a few months of the Obama regime, at which time U.S. medical care will have deteriorated to Canadian levels.

The question is, what do “they” have planned in the future? Why would it be important to scan the US and Canadian border? Hmmm...

[Kevmo]

Where’s the predators for the southern border?

For the AFIRE ping list

Canada is a very politically unstable country right now. You never know if a radical group could take over the government, or what’s worse, the Quebecois could try to reunite with France. We need all the protection we can get.

so now we can pop a Hellfire Missle right into the Bell Centre the next time that Georges Laroque and his Montreal Canadien hooligan teammates get too far out of line....
