Oopps. I thought they were 13 miles away and certainly in no condition for a final push, let alone a first push.

The White zone is for the immediate unloading of passengers only. Any questions?

Hooooah!

Someone is going to make a very bad joke about pointing to smouldering bodies Iraqi on ramp and asking, "Would you prefer smoking or non-smoking?" :~)

Don't tell the Transportation Secretary.
They might start profiling. "Hey you with moustache"

That would make a great bit in Hot Shots Part III.

The third division commander pulls up, and some Iraqi bag handler asks him if he has any box cutters, or has he left his tank unattended at any time.
