What's up with the burried planes?

[HootieMcBoob]

A couple of days ago I thought I saw something somewhere about the army finding a bunch of military planes or something burried in the Iraq desert. Anybody know anything about that and if there was any follow up? It just seemed to dissappear.

2. yeah, I saw them too

I guess it's supposed to give the impression that who knows what else might be hidden there?

Last time I checked, planes were not banned WMD, though. The technique only works on the most brain-dead and inattentive amongst us
