*OT* >>Even AAA updates its maps annually. How can you believe CIA, which is supposed to be best intelligence agency in the world, would make this mistake.<<
Being in the military and presently running an analysis shop, I can tell you that thanks to no one wanting to pay the federal defense organizations, a military hating president that only wants us around to divert the press when he gets caught with his fly open etc. Our manning and funding have disappeared. I have file cabinets full of stuff I am supposed to do but no one qualified to do it so only the important deadline stuff gets dowe and the rest goes in the "wait for a Republican President" folder. Our computers are still inthe commodore 64 era on the aircraft and our business machines are 486s and Pentium 75s. We cashed in empty soda cans to get more RAM last year so we could do our job.
I don't think maps of Serbia were on the top of the to do list until this started. We were more occuppied with maps of Iraq, Russia, Korea, Africa, Latin America etc. This was a mistake and to imply the military would bomb civilians on purpose is an insult. Besides, China killed more in the tienemen square incident so I don't think they should be making a big deal out of this acting like they are so high and mighty.
Also with our new politically correct recruitment policies now, we accept anyone in the military no matter if they speak, or write in english, can count their private parts and get the same number twice etc. We have total morons that couldn't pass as vegatibles in my garden doing our work now. So sleep well America, your military is standing guard. Less than 3 years left till retirement, thank God,
