| #11 Probably not, TW. I doubt that he'll want to talk about much, and I doubt he'll be allowed to talk about much. He's a little burned out on the war, you know; he hopes to do something to build rather than to destroy. I guess he has a little of Gail Halvorsen in him. |

| #10 Congratulations to Lt. Colonel Jablow! And how wonderful he's too busy to be asked -- hopefully we'll get to read about the results of his handiwork here at Rantburg. :-D |

| #8 I'd ask my (new Lt. Col.) brother. But he's kind of busy at the moment. He doesn't do much tactical flying, though. B-1s aren't made for that. |

| #6 His suggestions sound good to me, but Petraeus and above are the guys he needs to convince to change the status quo. I wonder if he took it up the chain, got nowhere, and decided to go public. |
