My BlackBerry could do a lot of what Sec Rumsfeld does. It's a lot cheaper, too! Save the taxpayers some dough, Rummy!

Well when you have the security needs that the Secretary does, get back to us about how you plan to have your Blackberry handle that. Good grief.

Good looking ride! Go Rummy go.

The NAOC, the colonel said, is a joint-service organization with headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., with the E4Bs assigned to the 55th Wing there.

Am I wrong or is this where W was first taken on 9/11? If so, I wonder if this was why.

Does the phrase "secure communications" mean anything to you?

He went to Barksdale first, in LA .. and then to the Super Duper Command Center at Offut .. I do believe.

I'm sure Rummy would be able to get a more secure (US govt skunkworks) type BlackBerry.

How do you propose to do it cheaper?
A boatride perhaps?
I am glad they are using my taxpayer money on the E-4's and would prefer they use it on them vice forking over billions to the UN and Africa ratholes.
So a CEO of a trillion dollar organization, a heartbeat or two from the president is relegated to what using a blackberry and flying Doesnt Ever Leave on Time Airline, which btw does not have DC to Baghdad service?
Dont be penny wise and pound foolish. These birds were bought and paid for in the '80's. That's Carter/Reagan era if you dont know history. You can blame them and the Soviets.

That is an absolutely awesome photograph. Do you know anything about it? (where, what type of aircraft is that, etc.)

Star, want to make sure you see this photo.
