I wonder why they are even bothering to dig up this MiG? Wouldn't it just be easier to blow it up in place?

Seems like a rather expensive adventure. Than again, it *is* the military and they are probably bored as hell.

I bet some officer said "Dibs!" and is having his crew dig up this plane so he can send it home!

Or, some engineering crew is bored and decided to dig up a cool jet in the sand.

Either way, cool photos!

As for the WMD, does it really matter now? We were lied to. Plain and simple. For that, Bush will not get re-elected and we will move on. I voted for him once, but not again.

Personally, I'd much rather have a President that couldn't keep his pecker in his pants than one that just outright lies to his country.
