Fox - reporter says he doesn't think anyone caught the incident on tape.

On a personal note, I believe that all take-offs and landings are taped by the Navy. Dont' know if the tape will be released to the press, but they have been in the past (like the quota-chick that lost the F-14 a few years ago)

A copter (I think he said a Sea King) aided in the rescue. A diver jumped out of it and secured the pilot and navigator.

Actually CNN had Iraq shooting down the plane. The carrier sunk. The admiral has the clap and the war is lost. j/k

"We don't have enough money to buy Syria as an ally."

We've tried that enough in that area to know it won't work. Egypt comes right to mind. The best that route gets us is a neutral Government and hostile population.

Yep, I say we tell the liberal left wing idiots to shove it, drill all the oil we want in Alaska, put a nuclear plant in their neighborhoods and tell the Arabs to stuff it.

Refuse all those Saudis and Jordanians passports so they'll have to shop in Paris or Milan and not New York and Beverly Hills.

I thought that it was smoke, but it might be the morning glare that seems to occur around the same time each day. It should clear up soon.

Dumb question, but who, other than government workers, has a car and gasoline in that city today?

We have the bagcam running in the background. During supper he came on - we all looked at each other and laughed.

He is rapidly becoming my favourite reporter.
