#1 Gotta give the GPS unit an occasional tap. It gets stuck on "Cool, threat board is clear, go for it!" sometimes.

#5 I'm waiting for the 4thID and 1st Marine Division to "intrude" into Syria...all the way to Damascus.

Then the capper will be John Bolton at the U.N. shrugging his shoulders and saying: "Oops!"

#6 Even better, denying it. Maybe we can hire Baghdad Bob? I'm sure we can outbid al-Jizz...

#7 Maybe they were using Loran C. Yeah, that's it. They were on the fringe of a Loran C net. The GPS nav system was in the shop. Or maybe that was the group on the lost proceedures navigation field problem. Our heartfelt apologies if anyone was inconvenienced. We meant no harm.

#8 Is Pakistan really a country ? I mean all that I hear about are these "tribal" areas that Pakistan doesn't really have any control over. So I am not sure I truly beleive that the copters really intruded into a space that is part of a country that doesn't really have any control over it in the first place? Talk about shades of grey....
