President Obama attacked Mitt Romney's business record today. Romney ran Bain Capital, and several other businesses before entering the public sector. Today, I want to reverse the roles and attack Obama's business record before he entered the public sector...

I am in complete agreement with Charles Krauthammer, whom in my opinion is a national treasure. Gov't 'Persistent Surveillance' at the local, state, or federal, has NO PLACE in a US domestic environment.
Privacy issues aside, lets talk about SAFETY. The first time a UAV crashes into a school yard.... and they do crash, or collides with a Cessna or God forbid, a commercial airliner it will be much too late for a re-do.
Controlled airspace border monitoring....OK, can do easy. Issue the ATO (Air Tasking Order) and go for it. Wasn't that the.... original intent, or stated intent..... or was it?
I'm not encouraging, but I an predicting that the first guy who uses a Second Amendment weapon to bring a drone down that's been hovering over his house is going to be a folk hero in this country," Krauthammer said tonight.

As far as Zerohedge (or Drudge, for that matter) goes, it is easy to drill backwards to a source news item.
My other link posted on the 'Burg today came up in a Facebook post from a relative of mine living in South Korea, who mentioned the NKor jamming of GPS in SKor. It was an easy step to find the SKor news item in English.

The only domestic drones I would support wouldbe ones put I. The air toact as a police copter in the event of a pursuit. Better to track someone from the safety of the air then race through traffic after them.
"No place in a US domestic environment" > espec when mainstream Americans = US Voters are not being asked to vote on it at any level - Fed, State, or Local. Amers won't be asked to vote on it until many Years or Decades in time have passed, + we are already used to it.
* FYI a Person has repor dev a TASER wid a 20,000-volt capacity. CAN A GOVT. THAT DOES THE ABOVE ONE DAY CONSIDER covert EMPLACING of SUCH A POTENT TASER, PAR OR STRONGER, IN US STREETS FOR "IMMEDIATE" COUNTER-RESPONSE VEE CROWD CONTROL - I THINK SO.
Instant Zap.
ALL THEY NEED IS POWER POSTS + INTERCONNECTING GRIDS.
Once STAR-TREK styled "disintegrators" are emaplced, the Police won't even be needed because the Govt will no longer need to just have you arrested - Public Instigants can be made to quickly "disappear" at the push of button. NO NEED FOR POLICE, ATTORNEYS, CIVIL COURTS, PRISONS, OR PERSONAL LIBERTIES ANYMORE AS WE KNOW IT - CAUGHT, TRIED, JUDGED, + ZAPPED WIDIN A FEW MINUTES OR LESS.
Not even the Commies will send your families the Bullets andor Billing used to execute you anymore.
Just as the US = Fed-DOD will not put in "defensive" MilSys unless it also puts in "offensive" MilSys to defeat a successful or effective Enemy counter-response(s) to same, e.g. Missle-based GMD-TMD versus Laser-based Space/Orbital Strike, DITTO FOR NON-MIL CIVIE + POLITICAL AUTHORITIES.

I felt like that during the early Clinton years when I was in the reserves. We gamed the system every month to inflate our readiness metrics. It was brutal.

The Air Force is a relic. Right now the Navy standard missile reaches from the surface to the edge of space over 75% of the globe. The Air Force's capability is much less.
We need to revisit the Key West agreement and take the next logical step to move the Air Force into the Navy. Just like the Marines, the Air Force can be a respected part of our national defense without all the overhead of its institution.
The Army is the place for America's citizen soldiers -- expanding and contracting as needed. The Navy is the place for ships, planes, space vehicles, and other capital intensive long lead items.
Every American should thank the Air Force for doing its duty for over 60 years, but it is time to close it up.

What? and give up WWII era 'temporary buildings for spacious Taj Mahals, or Libbeytown style housing for 'Better Homes and Hangars' worthy digs? And how will we ever get that 12,000 foot B-52 capable runway to turn into the wind?????
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
