Are you talkin' to me?

Merry Christmas, Osama. And make sure to speak clearly and distinctly to your fellow terrorists over the holidays.

Bloomberg News reports that a new spy plane with staggering capabilities, including picking up enemy conversations on the ground, should arrive in Afghanistan on or around Christmas Day. 24 have been manufactured by Beechcraft and equipped with state-of-the-art technology by L-3 Communications Holdings. They can gather video, photographs, and audio. According to the article, six planes are already flying missions in Iraq.

$950 million is being spent on the planes. If U.S. troops can use them to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Mullah Omar, or any of the other moral cowards hiding from justice in caves, I say it's worth every penny.
