I'm in Kabul...

Wow, our very own reporter in Kabul! And an accurate one, too. You'll never get a job with the MSM reporting like that, you know.

Seriously, thank you very much for your service to our country. You're a warrior and a hero. May your mission be successful and your return safe!

You have a very sick mind. Funny, but sick. ROFLMAO.

Hey Mark!,

Greetings from the USA - thanks for the local report. If you have an APO I'll send you a bag of the best jerkey they make - Cattaneo Bros. in San Luis Obispo. FReepmail only - security!

If you're a vegetarian - like 3 out of 5 in my family just let me know what you'd like that can "travel".

You can check me out with PatricaRuth who coordinates more Care packages to the Middle East than you can believe. Its a little late for Easter but contact her now and you'll have a 4th of July you will never forget.

Charlie :-)

I'm going to employ the media's criteria for defining explosions. And say that I will be making a Massive explosion in the bathroom here in a minute.

Film at 11? :)

They hit our FOBs occasionally in the same way. Camp Gabe in Baqubah, Iraq use to be called camp Boom, for that reason.

Mark,
keep fighting the good fight!

I was in the Embassy three weeks ago and drove by the Television building a couple of times, if that's the building they hit, it was a pretty good shot as they are only a few hundred meters apart.

It'll be interesting if troops were able to get to the launch site and have a "few words" with the firing team.

Wouldn't have happened if we'd finshed the job in Afghanistan before going into Iraq.

/MSM mode.

The mainstream media wouldn't have reported it at all if we didn't go to either place or if a Dem was Pres.....

If a Dem was CIC, we would be hearing about how well the falling apart of NYC and the rest of the major cities was going via CIC diligence in combating terrorism here in the USA.

Couldn't have been too big. No one seemed very excited this morning. Come to think of it, I did roll over about that time.

And thanks for the first hand report.

From my perspective "huge" means that the windows in my safe house next to the embassy sounded like they were coming apart.

The funny thing is we had an almost identical attack a week ago without any press interest.
