Alright, a little update from your Iraq News Anchor. Not quite there yet but I'm close. I'm in Kuwait. Can't really talk about where I'm going yet. Security risks and all. We are waiting on a plane though. Not much going on. Trying to get over the jet lag. It's bad after an 18 hour flight. It's hot today. 117 is what was posted. I'll keep you all informed as it goes along.

We've had three of our four kids write similar e-mails while on their way to the war. Now our fourth one to go should be leaving Germany in a couple weeks, advance party for his unit.

We wish each and everyone of you kids our very best. And owe you even more.

Germany and Kuwait aren't bad. I've been to both breifly. I'm excited to get over to Iraq though. Start doing something. I want my tank back. :) I'm tired of just sitting around in Kuwait. Oh well. Hurry up and wait I guess. That just gives me more time to write on here.

Ya, meanwhile we'll be back here trying to bring you home by staging anti-war rallies, and bitching about Bush and his mis-handling of the Iraq war. :frustrated:

I don't know about the whole Anti-War rallies but you do what you gotta do. If you really want to bring us home, send us gift packages. Those help alot. There are alot of programs such as adopt a platoon where people and communities can get together and send packages. They help out alot.

c'mon dude, you know I'm just joking. I've never understood the concept of an anti-war rally. Do they think that marching around with posters and chanting anti-war slogans is going to change the minds of the President and Congress? When has an anti-war rally EVER ended a war?!! Don't these people work? Personally I don't know how they can afford to blow off an entire day doing nothing but foisting their opinions on the general public.

Get a f'n hobby!!! :roll:

I caught the inflection the first time! I'm with ya. Even if one doesn't agree, there are other ways besides trying to get 15 minutes of shame on the tele.
