U.S. DRONE SPY-PLANE DOWNED BY IRAQ Plane Is Trained For Desert Survival; Rescue Mission Planned Washington, D.C. - (GNS) - The Pentagon announced Iraq successfully shot down an unpiloted U.S. spy-plane over the "no-fly" zone of Iraq, but said they expected the drone was "unhurt" and would follow its training to survive in the desert. "Each drone plane is trained at our secret base in the Mojave Desert to survive for weeks on berries, cactus and other "desert delights," said General Huckleberry Roddenberry, USAF. "Drones are put through a harsh, eight-week training," he said. "The final week they're actually dropped in the middle of the desert and told to survive." "If they don't survive, we don't use 'em," he said. Roddenberry said the drone plane was a hero and that rescue plans were underway. "We've told Iraq in no uncertain terms that if they mess with that drone, if they capture it and torture it, we'll be really mad," he said. "But we won't trade arms for hostages, probably," he said. The "no-fly" zone, established by the victors in the Gulf War, encompasses all of Iraq, and parts of The Evil But Recently Moderate Iran and Democratic Aristocracy Of Kuwait. Roddenberry denied reports that the drone was equipped with suicide pills. "That drone may be named 'Princess Lea', but she's tough. We'll get her out," he said. |
