Harry Reid Senate Floor

An explosion at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada killed seven Marines Monday night and left several more injured according to reports confirmed in a statement from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. The cause of the accident is said to be “under investigation.” As I said above, the explosion occurred at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada.

Zooming back out, I then noticed the relative proximity to Somalia and drew the conclusion that the drone must have been patrolling as part of our nation’s effort to combat piracy in that region. Sometimes the simplest explanation is also the most prudent choice. Sometimes it’s not. Pakistan and India are only about twice the distance from the island nation as Somalia. So, who knows?
