A campaign that makes no sense--run Cindy, run

Houston Chronicle:

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan spent her 50th birthday in Houston on Tuesday, attending events aimed at ending the war in Iraq.

Sheehan joined other activists who gathered on the Montrose bridge during the afternoon rush hour to hold signs calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Sheehan urged about 100 peace activists to join her 13-day caravan to Washington, D.C., where she plans to formally announce her candidacy against U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan, a Californian, announced she will challenge Pelosi if lawmaker has not moved to impeach Bush and Cheney by July 23.

"My campaign is going to happen, because we know she is not going to put impeachment on the table," Sheehan said.

A spokesman for Pelosi said her "focus is on winning the war in Iraq."

...

If Pelosi is in favor of winning the war in Iraq she sure has a funny way of showing that is her goal. But even worse is Cindy Sheehan saying she wants to run against her because she wants to impeach George Bush. Cindy has always been pretty clueless, but has no one told her Bush will not be in office after the 2008 election? Running on a campaign promise that is impossible to keep is not a good start.

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.
