Whoa...what a score.

[Pyro7480]

I don't think the MiG-25 can go Mach 3.

[Sparta]

Where can I buy it?

[babyface00]

What does the head of your average liberal and a Mig-25 have in common...?

[bedolido]

I didn't know the Foxbat could do Mach 3. The SR-71 could do it... I don't even think F14's can (not sure)

The Russian made MiG-25 Foxbat recovered by U.S. Army troops in the pictures,
is an advanced reconnaissance version never before seen in the west and
is equipped with sophisticated electronics warfare devices.

The author used "Russian" and "sophisticated" in the same sentence?

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Imagine a soldier wandering around the desert with a metal detector finding a huge ping!

I'm sure those who rail against buried land mines have also critized the burying of such materials. I mean you never know when one of the chirrin might show up at their back door with a Foxbat in hand.

[tractorman]

You think they could have shrink wrapped it before burying it.

I am an archaeologist, probably one of the two pro-Iraq war archaeologists in the country. Most are libs-to-socialists. These excavations are right up my alley. Anyone know how I can get on?

[kayak]

bttt

[AMNZ]

Surely this was an authorized armament, not an undisclosed acquisition from Russia.

[onedoug]

Uh, gee...how come we didn't find these hidden things right away?

[lmailbvmbipfwedu]

I wonder what a magnetic survey would bring out. It seems to me that by hanging an magnetometer on a UAV and flying a regular grid pattern these thing would pop out like the new man at a nudist colony. Then there is gravity, LADAR, and other remote sensing techniques......

The Foxbat may also be equipped with advanced Russian and French made electronics that were sold to Iraq during the 1990s in violation of a U.N. ban on arms sales to Baghdad.

This could be interesting.

[nevergore]

"However, in recent days the critics have fallen silent as word quietly leaked from Iraq that major discoveries have already been made and are now being documented completely. Bush administration officials are keeping any such discoveries secret for the moment.

This is the most profound statement in the article!

Everyone new of the Iraqi jets buried in the sand before the conflict began...That is one of the reasons Saddam executed his top Air Force General because he stood down per our military's instructions......

Wait....Rumsfield at Bush's direction is carefully cataloging all WMD sites and documantary evidence for a comprehensive presentation to Congress and the American people sometime this fall... The DemoRats will be scurrying for cover......

The recovery of the advanced MiG fighter is considered to be an intelligence coup by the U.S. Air Force. The Foxbat may also be equipped with advanced Russian and French made electronics that were sold to Iraq during the 1990s in violation of a U.N. ban on arms sales to Baghdad.

sweeeeet justice.
