AlJazeera is showing lengthy live video of a drone flying over Baghdad. Commentary on FNC that it's a Predator but appears like something else.

Looks like a polished, working version of the Iraqi duct-tape drone that was "discovered" by weapons inspectors or maybe one of our 2nd tier models to at least buzz 'em as part of the ongoing psyops operations.

it appeared to me as though it didn't have the tail the predator does and had the rail / pieces attached to each wing and connecting back towards the tail area.

Baghdad Bob will deny there even was such a sighting ... it was only an illusion, or a mirage if you will ;)

We now have troops close enough to use the short range drones that are electric model airplanes with about a 4 foot wingspan.

it really took a dive at one point - was that to focus in on something or mess up Baghdad Bob's hair as it whizzed back up there, all the while mocking whatever's left of Iraqi air defense (AK-47's shooting into the sky)

Somebody better tell Robert Fisk the all-seeing eye is up in the sky again watching his every move.

thank you - that is probably / definitely the model. (not a Predator)
To: Steven W.
FWIW, I suspect that drone is providing a forward observation platform for another heavy artillary push into Baghdad. Since it's close enough to the hotel where Al-Jazeera and the rest of the media is staying, this could be an interesting day in Baghdad.
To: Steven W.
It's funny that that is all they have to report. Not too much else on the quagmire front. I saw the live video being fed through MSNBC. A plane in the sky. Drop everything-- breaking news. Heh heh.

Most likely a Pioneer or Hunter tactical UAV.
