Probably tough to find bits of a GPS jammer after a "home on Jam" 2000 pounder arrives.

Maybe the Iraqis can get their money back on those?

Those GPS jammers got me to wonderin'. I know the US has a net of GPS satellites, about 24 with spares I've read. Has any other country put any GPS satellites in orbit? I'm sure we could turn ours off at will should the need arise.

USSR/Russia has it's own global positioning system, called GLONASS. It's not as precise as GPS in military version, but gives much better results in Polar regions.
