Well David, why even bother with U2 flights. We ought to stop even worrying about taking pictures of what they are doing. Perhaps a more final solution is in order.

I wonder if those cameras on the ground happen to have homing devices inside?

inre U2's. Looks like a classic case of "knock this off my shoulder, I dare ya...... The Russians did..... can't you, neener, neener, kiss my......"

Otherwise we'd use the satellites as you said or maybe the Blackbird.

They have absolutely no chance at all of knocking down a Blackbird, but instead we put up the U2. Now they don't have much chance of shooting down a U2 either, BUT it's probably real tempting to try.

They shoot at the U2 and we have a great excuse to kick ass, take names and "observe" any damn thing we want to.

I can't believe the Iraqis still follow that A-hole.
They shoulda let Stormin' Norman finish the job when he had a chance.

And while we're on the subject, why in the hell are we fooling around with U2s over there? We've got to have multiple geosynchronous sats with real time feeds over that area, I would think.

The U2 though effective especilly when it wasn't under much threat of being fired on, also distracts the ASS.

I'm sure the satellite was moved into place well in advance. And now that our inspection people are out craters may start appearing. Hope we have perfected the bomb which can penetrate THE bunker.
