You're very welcome Old Sarge.
Americans do seem to be sleeping, generally speaking; but you're right -- we aren't. We're wide awake and looking around.
God bless you Old Sarge.

IRAQI TIP TAKES DOWN TERRORISTS SUSPECTED OF HELO ATTACK
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- An Iraqi civilian helped Task Force Baghdad Soldiers find and apprehend six terrorists suspected of shooting down a civilian MI-8 helicopter April 21.
The Iraqi citizen told the Soldiers he knew where the blue KIA pickup truck the terrorists used during the attack was parked and led them to the site. When the Soldiers got there, several other local residents confirmed the first tip and showed the Soldiers where the terrorists lived.
Soldiers started to search two houses at 12:30 a.m. April 23. At the first house they captured three men and confiscated bomb-making material.
At the second house, the unit detained three more suspects involved in making improvised explosive devices.
All six men were taken into custody for questioning.

Had an interesting discussion today with a gentlemen building a new home nearby. He was concerned so many citizens go about their daily lives with no concept whatsoever of what may happen if chaos for any reason develops within our country. They have NO provisions to keep themselves and their families alive for more than 2-3 days. Should food, travel and medical assistance be disrupted for any length of time, millions will be seeking what they need any way they can get it.
