Not very smart to get sand in the engines of those MIGs. And your statement about them placing those MIGs in the sand to put them in the way of our getting Iraqi oil is rather pathetic. You make it sound like there were thousands and thousands of MIGs in the desert there for just that purpose.Maybe they forgot, or maybe they were just trying to put things in the way of our oil that was under their sand?It looks like someone might be disagreeing with you. I often wondered why the MIGs found by our own military were buried in the sand.
