| U.S. Carrier in Albanian Joint Exercise |
| 2003-01-28 |
| The American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is in the Adriatic Sea for maneuvers with the Albanian military, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. The guided missile cruiser USS San Jacinto also is participating in the exercise, which began Saturday and is set to end Feb. 10, a ministry statement said. Feb 10th, huh. The exercise, held near the Albanian port of Vlora, 85 miles southwest of Tirana, is intended to help Albania's military reach NATO standards. Also helps to get our flyers ready. The two U.S. warships are in the Mediterranean to be within striking distance of Iraq in the event of war. Across Israel and Jordan to western Iraq. |

| #2 The Albanian military? WTF! OTOH, maybe tomorrow's headline will read "Albanian Air Force Bombs Afghan Rebels" And, whatever happened to King Zog, easily the winner of the "Great Royal Name" contest? |
