Air Force Shelves $3B Worth of Brand New Drones

Far from spying on terrorists, more than a dozen high-tech surveillance drones, which together cost the U.S. government more than $3 billion, could soon be sitting in a storage facility gathering dust after top Air Force officials admitted this week the birds still are not as good as the half-century-old spy planes they were designed to replace.

Maybe they can cut an infomercial on them and sell them for $19.95 PLUS shipping and handling. Iran, China, India, Germany, maybe even Japan might purchase them. How about Buffet or Gates, or one of the other "Internet Billionaires." Maybe we could break even with the shipping and handling. DOUBLE the offer, give them TWO for the same price, of course, PLUS shipping and handling. Maybe put a limit on them so each country could only make one purchase. Wonder how many such "ideas" are sitting, gathering dust, somewhere ..... now we know what AREA 51 is all about ........... The Twilight Zone .........
