A Global Hawk variant able to carry cruise missiles, JDAMs and a MOAB, now that would be Da Bomb!

Too bad it wasn't a bomb. Or is it?

Nice photo but 1.85 megabytes slows things down.

About 7 months ago the IDF conducted a pretty intense airstrike against Sudani forces —it involved both manned and unmanned assets. I can’t remember the exact nature of the targets, but it involved large-scale smuggling of some very interesting weapons from Sudan to anti-Israeli forces.

If anyone breaks out a map, the Israel/Sudan round-trip involved in that strike roundly settles the question of whether IDF forces could strike Iran and make it back to friendly territory.

Sustained operations involving that range are another matter, of course, but...just thought I’d point it out, all the same.

More on this story from the UK Telegraph (severely edited in order to comply with Free Republic rules)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/7287623/Israel-unveils-unmanned-drones-which-can-fly-to-Iran.html

(edit)

Israeli defence officials said the Heron TP could be a useful tool against Iran. It could provide surveillance, jam enemy communications and connect ground control and manned air force planes.

Israel considers Iran a strategic threat because of its nuclear program, long-range missiles and repeated references by its leaders to the Jewish state's destruction.

Oh, it'll end. Abruptly. (I just hope it's in Iran and not anywhere else!)

[(I just hope it’s in Iran and not anywhere else!) ]

For sure. It just drags on and on and Obama eats wagyu steak while we worry.

AhmaDinnerJacket knows he has only until zer0 leaves office to taunt us mercilessly. He's crossed the line and 1) Israel will probably knock his block off and 2) The United States is going to dump the weasel in chief and take some international leadership again sometime soon (in terms of global politics.)

He knows the way things are going, his time is getting short to accomplish his agenda. That makes him even more dangerous than ever.

Did you see the pictures of him at the meeting with the GOP recently? There were at least 5 or 6 pictures of him and as someone wrote - he looked diabolic in them.

He did. He also looked gray, ashen and ill.

Maybe he actually believed his own propaganda. If so, his world is crashing down around his shoulders and he is angry and bewildered.

I kinda tend to believe this theory right now. And that's good for us. We'll kick his butt back to the 1850s where Marx came from and run our country properly for a change, just like we said at the beginning of summer.

That’s exactly it. Those people really do think they are right. They are still planning to try to ram the Health Bill through when most of the country doesn’t want it.

How many people do you think will flood DC if they actually try this Constitutional rape in the face of such public resistance?

I’m praying that that will happen, that it will be HUGE! It has to happen BEFORE it’s mad law though. We’d never get it ‘undone’ otherwise.
