Milestones 2008 (3)

By DemocracyRules

16CondiMeantIt
Even Condi sometimes gets impatient with monsters.

17SyrianSurprise
This Syrian facility was a plutonium reactor all right. Man-made radioactive materials were found in the soil. Plutonium is used only for bombs.  Saddam sent many, many planeloads of WMD equipment, materials, and plans to Syria just before he was invaded.  The MSM lied, people died.

18iraqi children2 

Iraqi children.

19peakoil 

What a wild ride.  Oil is still dropping.  The good news is that Russia and the oil tyrants are getting squeezed into pacifism. The American cry of "Drill Baby Drill" has  stopped, as the US economy gets a shot in the arm from reduced energy costs.   But oil companies will have a tough time finding new domestic oil fields that are cheap to develop.

20RTX1 

As oil drops, the Russian stock market tanks.  This is bad for Russians, but the rest of the world gets a breather from Russian aggression.

21US Goast Guard ship in Gerogia 

Families in the Georgian Republic were glad to see the US show the flag.  Russia grabbed a piece of Georgia, but they probably would have invaded  the whole country if Bush and Condi hadn't stepped up.

22RatsNice 

Obama won.  Now what?

23B-47 

The new X-47B will be the first unmanned fighter-bomber aircraft.  Controlled by humans and/or a nuanced battle-capable computer system, it will land and take off autonomously from aircraft carriers, conduct super-stealth bombing missions, and engage and destroy enemy fighters as needed.
