I saw a Blue Angels air show a few months ago and as I watched these planes fly above the crowd, I could feel the fear that Saddam will feel. In one point during the air show, one of the Blue Angels was able to come up behind the crowd without us even knowing it until they were right on top of us. Impressive and thankful is what I feel now.

If anybody wants to know when the attack on Iraq is going to happen all they have to do is check the clubs in Killeen

Funny and sad, but true.

Merry Christmas! Ho,Ho,Ho!

Any word on how many relatives of the elites in the RNC,the WH,and the DNC will be deploying with them? I'm gonna make a wild guess,and say the correct answer is "none!".

My bet is the Kittyhawk isn't going anywhere. They're needed to stare down the NKs.

"Poohbah, looks like the old 24th Mech (now the 3rd Infantry Division) is on the move."

Hmmm, as an old 3rd ID "dog," (72-73) I didn't know the 24th Mech was folded in.... How does this work? Is the 24th a seperate brigade within 3rd?

"silly me, I forgot who we're at war with this week."

The last I heard from the Party during our Hate Week, we're at war with Oceania. :)

What are the weather conditions there in January?

Temps are rather cool during Jan and Feb (highs in the upper 60's and 70's) with frontal passage occurring approx every 3-5 days. Good wx for an attack without the oppresive heat of summer. I've been there before during this time frame and I'll be there again real soon!

Venezuela is in the middle of a nation wide strike. Oil production has dropped by 90% and Brazil is sending them gas.

Bound to have an impact. OPEC has said that they will not increase production to make up for the loss.

Which I understand has had a negative affect for beer drinkers. Beer is not been able to be transported, so the Venz beer drinkers have had to resort to whiskey. Oh the war is on now.

I think ive seen the same thing, about the same size as an airliner but plane white, and flying at an lower altitude. I saw one make a 90 degree turn the other day, which is unusual for an airliner, it looked like it banked pretty hard for a plane that big.

Pasadena, California is a no-fly zone on Jan. 1 becaue of the Rose Parade and Bowl Game.

Say what? You don't see all those banner-towing planes buzzing all over the parade route? Check again! The airspace over and around Pasadena is unbelievably crowded on New Year's day.... (I lived there for many years)

The 24th Infantry Division was deactivated in 1996. The Mech Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, GA is now the 3rd Infantry Division. The Army basically changed the "colors", and renamed the division at Fort Stewart, GA.

It is a volunteer army is it not?

If units of the Signal Corps were being deployed, why would that be an "indicator" that the "big game is going to start"?
