Bad news for Tony Snow

Fox News:

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is once again stricken with cancer after doctors found a cancerous growth in his lower abdomen, the White House announced Tuesday.

The cancer, originally in his colon, has spread to his liver, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. Snow spoke to President Bush Tuesday morning, who told Snow he and first lady Laura Bush are praying for him.

"He said he's going to beat it again," Perino, who choked up during her announcement, said in briefing with White House reporters. "When I talked to him, he was in very good spirits."

Snow is consulting with doctors what type of treatment to pursue as he recovers in the hospital following the surgery. There were no complications with the surgery and it takes about a week to heal, Perino said.

Snow, 51, had part of his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed in 2005. A small growth was discovered in his lower right pelvic area during regular tests. It was removed on Monday. Doctors determined that it was cancerous, and that his cancer had metastasized, or spread, to his liver, Perino said.

...
The cancer is treatable and Snow's doctors have some aggressive options planned. Still it is sad to hear that it has struck this fine man again. I wish him well.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
