I'm not under the movie-created illusions. Yes, we have a limited number of recon satellites, but I'd bet a dollar to a donut that we have them tasked for maximum coverage of Baghdad at the moment. And a crowd should surely be identifiable with 1-meter resolution. And then there are the U2s, maybe Predators, as well.

I thought we had geosynchronous satellites that we could park over a given location. I thought that they had rocket motors on them so they could be moved from one orbit to another. I thought we just launched another spy satellite within the past few weeks, or maybe that was Japan.

I can't wait till we have armed satellites. Talk about ZOT power!
