[inaudible] and the predator 3034 had no markings at the time and wants the first on the first night, october 7, 2001. [inaudible] and three days later president bush asked that a meeting be held, and he said why can't we hold one more than one of these at a time. in december of that year, he gave a speech to the quark event in south carolina and he said before the war the predator had skeptics and now it is clear that the military does not have enough unmanned vehicles. so as i said earlier given the rapid advances and component technology, we are certain at some point that it evolved in more than just a new technology. but the definition of a technological revolution of the scientific revolution, a breakthr
