Subject: Typical US attitude ... Felt like The Superbowl, pilot says ...

Hi All:

Here is a quote from one of the pilots who bombed Afghanistan last night. Typical of America to relate it to their sports structure which is where the mentallity of the masses lie.

One of the American pilots who took part in the raids on Afghanistan said that he felt like "a football player on Superbowl day."

Five crew members were made available for interview by the Department of Defence after the overnight attacks.

The pilots did not reveal any detailed information and were only identified by their radio call signs.

One officer, 'Vinny', said: "I felt very proud, it's like being a football player on Superbowl day. My grandfather was in World War II, my dad was in Vietnam, and I'm just honored to participate in something like this." he added that they had faced more challenging tests during normal training.

Oh by the way estimates say that 20 were killed. 20 lives snuffed out. Collateral damage, to be expected I guess. How do you think the Afghan people felt as those cruise missles soared overhead. Well I guess it doesn't matter. Revenge is a dish best served cold I guess.

Regards
Don Barone
