I will just leave the politics out of it, and let the article speak for itself...

How is this a good plan now that everbody knows about it?

"They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed but they will stick out like sore thumbs."

Ya think? All the "farmers" with brand new tractors that are all the same make/model.

Considering the article is from The Sun, I'd question it being fact,

Worst plan and waste of money ever. Couldn't a single helicopter cover more area than dozens of tractors. Tractors are not exactly high speed and able to chase down a potential treat.

Why not use their udders for spy glasses...:laughing:

That is a good suggestion. Possibly room for Infra-red detection devices in that area also?

so what are they doing with all those tractors after its all over?

 

[rekees4300]

They'll be donated to Obama's library.

They will probably show up in a govt. surplus auction and the taxpayers will take another huge loss...but just chicken feed to the govt.

Agree but considering the source I'd be sure it is not a fact.

Maybe intentional deception and leak of false info to confuse any bad guys...?

That's after they waste a bunch of money to ship them back to the states.
