JSTARS, River Joint, U-2s to seek bin Laden
CNN is reporting this morning that the US Mil is about to deploy U-2 spy
planes, JSTARS acft, and Rivet Joint RC-135s to search for bin Laden. They claim that the US is going to maintain round-the-clock surveillance/search to locate him. They say the acft will be controlling some RPVs in the search. AL STERN Satellite Beach FL |

It takes time to turn the heroin North and create an economic reason for the southern tribes to co-operate. Missing another entire crop would be bad for their economies and further empower the northern tribes. I doubt bin Laden will last until Otober. |

AL STERN Satellite Beach FL It's really too bad that these kind of assets weren't available several years ago. They were, and they were used, and I'd be surprised if they have not continued to be used over Afghanistan and the Pakistani border region since then. The use of all three platforms was reported during the earlier operations conducted in Afghanistan; that CNN is acting as if this is some kind of new development is hardly surprising, given the poor accuracy of their military reporting to date. Not sure how much value the JSTARS adds to the mix, given the terrain and nature of the target. Bob McKellar, expecting a late October capture Uhhh...yeah. I guess the military is in on some great political conspriacy, huh? Brooks |
