Conversation I had with an Air Force friend of mine today!

[drumsy]

Hey all!! Glad to be on AF!! Igor asked me to post this for you all, hope it sheds some light on the subject!

*: now i REALLY dont know if i'll be able to make NOPI
drumsy95: hahahaha
drumsy95: I've been wondering what's going on
drumsy95: after I found out this morning
*: well, we harbored the President here for a couple hours en-route
drumsy95: yah, I heard
drumsy95: he made a statement there, I believe
drumsy95: bummer:-\
*: yes he did
drumsy95: bush ended up in nebraska or something like that eh?
*: we're currently on lockdown
drumsy95: you allowed to comment on anything?
*: he went to Offut to prepare possible boarding on a DEFCON control aircraft
*: Air Force One is taking him back to Washington now
drumsy95: what level are we at now?
drumsy95: 4?
*: no comment
drumsy95: gotcha
drumsy95: did you load a bomb marked for afghanistan?
drumsy95: 8-)
*: as for US Military, we are at Threatcon Delta (highest state)
drumsy95: I see
*: actually, we were in the middle of a Global Guardian exercise this week.... it got cancelled
drumsy95: interesting
drumsy95: you all were in an exercies
drumsy95: fbi in cali for training
drumsy95: these guys knew their ish!
*: we currently have 44 B-52's "cocked on", fully loaded with nuclear cruise missiles for the exercise
drumsy95: for the "exercise" eh?
*: we've been ordered to NOT download them
drumsy95: gotcha
*: we were supposed to remove and store them today... then the attack happened
drumsy95: man-o, you ready to do Desert Storm all over again?
drumsy95: if this indeed goes down?
*: Congress is accepting this not as a terrorist attack, but as a declaration of war
*: my bags are packed... i'll be one of the first aircrews in
drumsy95: yikees
*: if we go
*: i doubt we'll find out who did it and start an attack before this weekend
*: we're seriously trying to make sure we know who did it... then we'll be launching a full scale assault
drumsy95: so what you're saying then is that's not us doing the bombing?
*: the government is VERY serious aboutt his
drumsy95: I'll bet!
*: the bombing in Kabul?
drumsy95: yup
*: it aint us... we cant act without congressional approval
drumsy95: gotcha
*: and congress hasnt organised... they will tonight. we also need a declaration of war from the president first. pres declares war, congress votes to approve, then we strike
drumsy95: gotcha
*: so it's impossible that it's america who caused the crap in Kabul... that's the press making us look bad
drumsy95: cnn didn't say it was us
drumsy95: I've heard there's gunfighting between a local rebel group though
*: all of them hinted it "might" be an early US retaliation
*: until they found out it was an ammo dump, and that the "explosions" werent more "bombs"
drumsy95: hehe
*: retard reporters
*: make us look bad only hours after looking like victims
drumsy95: :-\
drumsy95: that's the us media for ya!
drumsy95: crap man, this stuff is scary
*: heh
*: you shoulda seen the breifing i got
drumsy95: not for civilian eyes?
*: nope
drumsy95: crap
*: it was our war plan
drumsy95: how deep does the rabbit-hole go?
drumsy95: oy
drumsy95: war plan....
*: an old war plan to be used during the cold war should america ever get attacked
drumsy95: I see
*: it's been dusted off and is now being considered for implementation
*: congress votes tonight
*: we've all been briefed here since ALCM strikes will be the first wave
drumsy95: so they're pretty sure it's someone overseas and not internal?
*: alert crews (me) have been sent home on crew rest and on-call. others are on the flightline, prepping aircraft for war
*: we're 90% sure it's Osama bin Laden, in one way or another
*: and we're not bringing him in for a "trial"
*: we're going to kill him. we're going to destroy him and his people like we tried to do back in desert fox
drumsy95: yikees....
drumsy95: you sure you're supposed to be telling me this?
*: yeah
*: this is all public crap
*: we just cannot discuss how we're gonna do it
drumsy95: gotcha

[hermunn123]

wonder if my brother is going through all that

[Moppie]

Hi ya drumsy, Nice to see you here. You sure do like you Forums aye.

Thats a most intresting dissucion, iv been watching the ABC, CNN and BBC here since it happened, and there been virtualy nothing about make reatalitory strikes against anyone.
I hope if they do, they think very carefully about how they go about it.

I dont think it will be too long before there is some sort of retaliation:smoka:
