Why we’re sending blimps to Iraq |
|
1. To spy on registered Democrat soldiers in Iraq 2. To keep an eye on the oil. 3. To find the $9 billion we lost 4. To cover the new super bowl: Lucky ducks versus sitting ducks. 5. Another excuse to give Haliburton money.

Iraq, maybe Iran? :shrug: They used to use them to locate submarines during WW2 also, but don't think that would work now-a-days. Um maybe bogies? ... or maybe they will just scroll "Give The Fuck Up" along the sides of them like the goodyear blimp advertises during sporting events? :think: Peace.
