"By the end of the decade, a global independent

He specializes in cluelessness and being bass ackward. Along with a few
others around here. Fact is that GPS has grown far beyond it's original
design purpose and into another example of the old "swords into
plowshares" phenomenon Micollis likes to cite. Back when integrated
circuit chips were developed as part of the 1960s race for the moon
there were nitwits who wanted them kept secret for "national security
purposes". Flat Earth Society mindsets.

Not to worry, the Shrub will send up some B58's to bomb them out of
the sky.

The Russsians and the Chinese would would "get up in arms" if anything
like that went down. literally. Since they'll own big pieces of our
beloved "GPS weapons system".
