RM, classic tactic .......... how about the training camps in the Beeka in Lebanon ?? on the good side Five years on, Ashley stood last week on the deck of the US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, laughing as she spoke to The Telegraph about her typical British background. Several thousand miles away in Surrey, her parents also spoke of their pride in their daughter's extraordinary exploits. In her first interview with a British newspaper since the conflict started, the 26-year-old spoke of the pressures of her job. With her hair cut in a bob, her bright blue eyes and diminutive frame, Ashley does not conform to the stereotype of a fighter pilot. Mumbles, as she is nicknamed by colleagues who have difficulty with her mix of English and American accents, is the only female pilot in the Black Lions squadron on board the Carl Vinson. She flies F14 Tomcats - a two-man Navy fighter jet, each worth £26 million and made famous in Top Gun, the film starring Tom Cruise. For the past two weeks Ashley has been dropping 500lb, 1,000lb and 2,000lb laser and satellite-guided bombs on daily sorties over Afghanistan. She says: "We [female pilots] are very few and far between but we just do our job like everyone else. I really love it. I'll be here until this squadron leaves." Being shot at is frightening but it does not deter Ashley in her determination to carry out her duty. Her most dangerous mission was a recent daytime strike during which Taliban fighters launched a barrage of missiles. portal.telegraph.co.uk Our fight is just, say Muslims aboard US aircraft carrier portal.telegraph.co.uk

Alert via E-mail I just got it & I Don't know if it's; true not on the news yet. Copy Sorry for the mass email, but I got important news tonight. My dad works for FEMA and he's really involved with the goings on in NYC. He told me that within the last 24 hours, more than 30 Ryder, U-Haul, and Verizon trucks have been reported stolen across the country. The U-Haul and Ryder trucks were rented and then never returned, so they're considered stolen. Many of them were rented by people of Arab descent. I don't mean to make any assumptions, and I certainly don't want to scare you, but I thought you all might like to know. Be wary of these vehicles. Jim
