Pakistan Used Google Earth For Military Targeting

NeoBeans writes "According to this article in the New York Times about the recent 'improvements' in military strikes by the Pakistani military it is revealed that they have dropped Google Earth as part of their target planning for a more precise technology. From the article, '... the air force has shifted from using Google Earth to more sophisticated images from spy planes and other surveillance aircraft, and has increased its use of laser-guided bombs. And no, you can't really find Osama Bin Laden using Google Maps either."

Um, troll? I am being deadly serious here. Read the news please, our president recently attempted to (and failed) to get drone tech from you guys, but you wouldn't share. Come on, if you want to defeat them, then please help us, instead of ignoring us.

Bwhahahahahahahah! Our military won't share details of our drone tech with us, what the hell makes you think they're gonna share our drone tech with you?

Hey, I know! You could find The Pentagon on Google Earth and go there and steal the tech! Yeah! Oh and, good luck getting anywhere near the place without getting your ass shot up.
