Having a great day off, if everything works right, should be flying out to Qatar for a 4-Day PASS early Sunday morning. I go to the flight line at 2200, that is 10pm for you civilians, and get my flight time. I am really looking forward to a few days off and new scenery! I am now in my 20th month of deployment. I had this 4-day trip September 2008 and it was great, went home in May for 18 days leave and now one more break before the downhill slide home.
Will be nice, read my books, eat some cook to order food (excited about a nice Ribeye), enjoy some brew and maybe there will be some entertainers there. Still warm there, but cooler than when I was there in September, around 90 during the day and 70s at night. Have not made my mind up if I will stay on night hours or change to days. Most of the activity is late afternoon thru about 1-2 am. Some of my decision will depend on the roommates I get. Last time several of them slept most of the day, which would work for me. Weather leaving is great, maybe I can get a sand storm to delay me leaving a day or two! Will let you know how it is going!

FORT HOOD SHOOTING
What a sad tragic event at Ft. Hood. Please keep the wounded and family members, friends and brother in arms of those murdered in your prayers! This is so tragic. It is almost comical to watch the news coverage. The main stream media, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS want to ignore that he was Muslim. They keep asking why would he do this, what would cause him to, they keep talking about post deployment stress, he has not been deployed! Even some of Fox’s coverage is leaning this way.
What things are being reported? He was Muslim, not converted, has not changed his name. He frequented and worshiped at Mosques. Frequently wore traditional Muslim attire, like the white cap and “man dress” he wore to get coffee the day of the shooting. It has been reported he was calm and deliberate during the shooting, and he announced God is great in Arabic before and/or during the shooting (done by many terrorist before they attack). It has also been reported that he gave out Korans and gave away his furniture the morning of the shooting. That he was against going to the Middle East and fighting Muslims, felt Muslims should stand up against the U.S., and was vocal about it.
It is early in the investigation, but does this sound like someone who just snapped and grabbed a gun and started shooting? If that is what he did, snap, why did he not shoot people at the hospital where he worked? Instead he went to the SRP building where around 300 soldiers were processing in a somewhat confined area, as some in the military would say a target rich environment.
Keep an open mind, watch the news, think through their reporting and see where this goes. If it does end up being Muslim inspired, I would not be surprised to see the mainstream media try to hide it.

DAY AFTER ELECTIONS!! :)
Today President Obama and the Democrats see how the Citizens feel about their policies. The win of almost all the elections last night went to Republicans or Independents. Why they are asking, it’s the economy stupid!! President Obama said earlier this year when he wanted to spend a trillion dollars to “save” our economy, that if we did this unemployment would not go over 8% and we do it and it goes over 9%, jobs are not coming back, what they should be seeing is that they need to stop spending and getting into our business. Most of the people who voted for the president were not informed voters or they probably would not have voted for him. The Democratic Leaders said what they were going to do if he won, exactly what they are doing, spending, controlling and regulating us to death! We can only hope to get conservative representatives elected next year and get control of our country back.
A couple thoughts on the White House and their fight against Fox News. They say they are not fair and balanced, not a real news organization, not reporting truth. Well, I was watching MSNBC tonight, their live show, mainly because there is only one news channel on AFN here and they rotate the different news shows and that was what was on. Contessa Brewer was on from Maine where the voters overturned homosexual marriage. She spent the first 10 minutes of the show interviewing multiple pro homosexual marriage, telling them how sorry she was they were defeated, directing her questions from a supporting angle, then reported on another story before coming back supposedly to cover the other side, spent 5 minutes interviewing a Catholic Priest who’s church supported overturning homosexual marriage including money for the cause. She was grilling him on what Jesus would do, on and on trying to make him look bad. And the White House thinks MSNBC, CNN are the leaders in fair and balanced reporting, HA! It is amazing how thin skinned the White House is if anyone would disagree with their policies and plans.
We have to stand up for what is right and true. Make your Congressman and Senator listen to you , be accountable to us, the ones they work for!!!! Call and write them today, tell them NO on this 2000 page health care bill, NO on Climate Change Bill. We are not their ATM Card!
