This is really weird because the Minot/Barksdale incident did not involve tactical/fighter aircraft. So let me get this straight, your going to do safety training with people that had nothing to do with the problem? Yeah, I really believe this barrow of shit.

These war-rooms are nothing more or less than attempts to manage the IMAGE, not the REALITY of this war, the same way Enron execs phonied-up their glowing prospectus, which was just more cover for abject failure. Sound familiar? Enron and Iraq have much in common, especially in terms of who was in charge(no-bid book-cookers)when all hell broke loose.

Fred Thompson: Al Qaeda smoking ban pushed Iraqis to U.S.

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Freshly minted GOP White House hopeful Fred Thompson puzzled Iowans yesterday by insisting an Al Qaeda smoking ban was one reason freedom-loving Iraqis bolted to the U.S. side.

“They said, ‘You gotta quit smoking,’” Thompson explained to a questioner asking about progress in Iraq during a town hall-style meeting.

Thompson said the smoking ban and terror tactics Al Qaeda used to oppress women and intimidate local leaders pushed tribes in western Anbar Province to support U.S. troops.

But Thompson’s tale of a smokers’ revolt baffled some in the audience of about 150 who came to decide whether the former Tennessee senator is ready for prime time.

“I don’t know what that was about,” said Jim Moran, 72, who had driven from nearby McCook Lake, S.D.

Iowans, several of whom told the Daily News they were intrigued by Thompson’s down-home charm, got their first extended chance to press for details of his broad theme of “common-sense conservatism.”

On abortion, Thompson said he would appoint judges in favor of overturning Roe vs. Wade but had reservations about a constitutional amendment banning it.

He also said he’d finish a wall along the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration: “We get to decide who comes into our home.”

Thompson said “things are turning around” in Iraq and that troop reductions should not be linked to some “arbitrary time line.”

His cue to stop talking came from 4-year-old daughter Hayden, who came on stage with a bow in her hair to tug on Thompson’s pants leg – drawing “oohs” from the audience.

Thompson received mixed reviews from several listeners who had reservations about his late entry into the race.

Carol Perrin, 62, a retired schoolteacher, said, “I was impressed. I don’t think he’s selling us a bill of goods.”

But Ralph Hecht, 61, a farmer and Marine Vietnam veteran whose son served two tours in Iraq with the Army, said Thompson’s attempts at folksy appeal wouldn’t work with him. “For me, it will be the issues stuff,” Hecht said.
