[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 967522, member: 2189"] Regardless of everything else in this piece, the real howler IMO was the last paragraph and it's concluding question. Had the article's author or the website's editors had done the least little due diligence, they would have for starters Googled "weaponized drones" or "police weaponized drones" and then realized how silly that question really was. This article IMO is evidence of a growing propaganda,(author's naiveity being used maybe), to re-grow the Russia Bear back into the Soviet menace which has been ongoing by certain Neo-Con/Neo-Lib coldwar factions since the mid to late 90's. Caspian Oil maybe? Or what happens if Russia [URL="http://www.oilru.com/or/50/1062/"][COLOR=#ff0000]brings in [/COLOR][/URL]hydrocarbons to the global marketplace on top of existing productions, supply and inventory? Hmmmmm! Besides, think of the economic windfall to the war and weapons industry if the American public could be conditioned to think the old coldwar nemesis was once again game on? As to the author, as recent graduate of Hillsdale College in biology and communications, she proclaims from her blog to LinkedIn of being a [URL="http://www.ehow.com/facts_5932750_job-description-communications-specialist.html"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Communication Specialist"[/COLOR][/URL] so why should I expect any detailed analysis when instead a scripted conclusion would better fit the bill?
