I, For One, Welcome Our New Droid Overlords

Robots with guns are on patrol in Iraq.

If they misbehave, they can be ordered to blow themselves up.

If the robots figure out how to turn off the self-destruct feature, we could be in trouble!

Well, not really. These are just remote control devices, not autonomous machines that decide on their own what to kill. Someone sits at a console... a lot like a video game.

And if the insurgents take it hostage, well,
We'll blow it up and blow them all to hell.
