#1 In Afghanistan, a U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer provided a show of force near Tirgari. The mission was reported as successful.

I don't know what this means but I like the sound of it. :-)

#5 ION, DAILY INDIA > US ADM. RICHARD MULLEN > USA planning a GLOBAL SUPPORT STRUCTURE for proposed future 1000-ship naval force. State-specific NATIONALISM downplayed in favor of FULL-ACCESS ORGANZ GLOBAL NAVY COMPRISED OF MULTI-STATE/NATIONAL FLEETS, including but NOT limited to Russian + Chinese Fleets = major afloat task-battle forces.

OTOH, RIAN/WORLDNEWS > Deputy Russ PM IVANOV > NO NEED FOR US-RUSS COOPERATION OR REVIEW ON EURO MISSLE DEFENSES + IVANOV > RUSSIA IS SOLE TARGET FOR US MISSLE DEFENSE IN EUROPE. Party-pooper Ivanov on TV > says US GMD-TMD based in Eastern Europe or around Eurasian periphery is a UNACEPTABLE "DIRECT THREAT TO RUSSIA" as far as Russia is concerned. Russ Generals thinking to the contrary - not worried too much about USA over East Euro base locations, or targeting of same by Russia.

#6 In Iraq, U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt IIs released cannon rounds at anti-Iraqi forces digging up weapons near Baqubah.

Say what y'all like but whenever warthogs give it to 'em I have to stand up and cheer.

Hooah! Just warn the good guys to put their fingers in their ears!

I surely hope some of the bad guys get barbequed when they do this.
