Here's a little night music for ya:

Spooky Lyrics
In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,
We call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and bomb some bad guys,
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say, "All right."
War is kinda groovy with a spooky bombin' plane like you.

You always keep them guessin', they never seem to know where you are hidin'.
And if a bad guy looks at you, it's for sure your cannons will be a-winkin'.
They get confused, 'cause they don't know where you are,
And then you smile, and light up the sky.
War is kinda crazy with a spooky bombin' plane like you.
Spooky!

If you decide someday to stop this little war that they are playin',
They're gonna tell you what their mullah's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' their dreams,
So bomb 'em to hell... on Paddy's Day.
War is kinda groovy with a spooky little plane like you.

Sounds good for those with night vision equipment, bad for those without..

A cloud cover and no moon would be perfect..
For a properly equipped soldier..

Yes, I heard the General's comments as well. Prayers for our troops and our Iraqi brothers-in-arms.

The MSM is despicable and traitorous.

If the Iraqi and US Military can secure a city of 200,000 with 1,500 troops then it's more than just a very little. They normally don't kick in doors unless it's something they're after. It may just be one or two very high level targets but if it takes 1,500 troops to get them then to me it's worth it.

I am just quoting what ABC News has up on its headlines at its site that a senior military official told ABC.

Clear sky and a full moon would actually be a disadvantage for us..
It gives the enemy mobility at night..
That's my main concern..

I want the "bad guys" to have every disadvantage..

FOX liberal news, is doing it's best to make this look like an exercise and "done for show".

Our Military should not be forced to explain it's every move to these rating whores.

I can hear/see it now: US bombs women and children. Of course, when they are embedded with the terrorists.

how did we EVER manage to win WWII without the media

The media was a critical component that contributed to our success in WWII. That's because - rightfully so - it was a full fledged pro-US propaganda outlet. Something about sedition/treason for those that didn't go along. W's biggest mistake was letting the Left politicize Iraq.

I know, it's just more MSM spin. Ignore the facts and downplay the obvious is their slogan.

Wow, awesome posts. If you'd be so kind as to put me on any important pings you send out I'd be very grateful.

Thanks Allegra, stay safe. Please keep letting the guys know how much we all support them back home....I know you are doing this already, thanks.

Then the appearance of the clouds today was just in time. Perhaps a little help from the Man Upstairs.

We are fast approaching the tme of year where we won't see a cloud for months.

Thanks for the lyrics. I had a few opportunities to "ride along" on AC119 gunship missions in Vietnam. I was the radio operator.

I'm partial to the Special Ops gunships.

We should've done this a long time ago, and for whatever it's worth, I'm still waiting for "Shock and Awe."
