I'm really struck by Rice's dodge in this op-ed. washingtonpost.com <font color=brown> We pushed hard to arm the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle so we could target terrorists with greater precision. But the Predator was designed to conduct surveillance, not carry weapons. Arming it presented many technical challenges and required extensive testing. Military and intelligence officials agreed that the armed Predator was simply not ready for deployment before the fall of 2001. In any case, the Predator was not a silver bullet that could have destroyed al Qaeda or stopped Sept. 11. </font> Condi is making it sound like the option was a predator strike or nothing. She glosses over the fact that the administration stopped using the predator for survielance even though it had been able to spot Bin Laden several times. canoe.ca TP
