In a previous post, I related reports that the US was working in a stealth B2 as a platform for a missle defence that could stand off of a suspect country but be pr4epared to shoot down missles at launbch or evehn declare no fly zones.   

 Earlier this year, blurry pictures were released by the French magazine Air & Cosmos of a previously unknown stealth drone taken at Kandahar in Afghanistan. The photos, snapped in 2007, prompted a wave of speculation about the classified aircraft. That speculation grew even more intense this week, when a blog belonging to the French newspaper Libération released an even better photograph. But while the new picture may answers some questions, it also creates a heap of new mysteries. Chief among them: Why use such a fancy, stealthy aircraft in Afghanistan?
