During the Gulf War, they had an awful time finding SCUD sites.

We are in the middle of a real-world test of all kinds of new toys. Not to say we can 'bug' the whole country, but we can do a lot better ten years later. I wonder who Gen. Franks is breifing on how to use them.

I was thinking about how in Afghanistan we found, for example, a white Chevy Suburban we were looking for (I think we'd hoped Omar was in it, but he wasn't).
