...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job...

Enjoy now, from a safe distance.

#1  By Caitlin Kenney, Fort Sill CannoneerApril 26, 2012. C-RAM The Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar system has been used in Iraq to protect forward operating bases and valued targets.

FORT SILL, Okla.-- Mortars, artillery and rockets have been the weapon of choice for insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are mobile and can be easily hidden, giving Coalition soldiers just seconds to take cover when they are launched.
The Army, taking a note from Navy warfare technology, adopted the C-RAM system or Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar system. Known to the Navy as the Phalanx, this "system of systems" detects, warns and intercepts incoming rocket, artillery and mortar rounds at forward operating bases and significant targets in Iraq and now Afghanistan.
