Troops Throw French Fridge from Baghdad Control Tower
December 2, 2005



BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to share with you excerpts from a letter I got today, an
e-mail letter...

Dear Mr. Limbaugh,

I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am knowing that you are
behind that microphone and honoring our troops here in the Iraqi
theater. Thank you, sir, for your unwavering support for all of our
airmen, soldiers, sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen fighting the
global war on terror -- especially those in the current battle for
Iraq that are assigned under my charge. I'm extremely proud of all my
troops. I'm also very proud of my coalition brethren who engaged in
combat operations here. The list of honorable warriors also includes
members of the Iraqi armed forces. Fifteen years ago I never would
have imagined having my own boots on the same ground over which I
chased Iraqi Air Force MiG fighter jets across the sky in hot pursuit.
But times have changed. [So this guy was in the first Gulf War.] We
get you live on Camp Liberty radio Baghdad, 98.0FM. I listen to you at
eight p.m., Iraq local, each day whenever I can. At that time of the
night I may be likely on my way driving back from the Halliburton
Kellogg Brown & Root operated chow hall. Friday is usually lobster and
steak night and pretty damn good. Driving back from chow, I'll try not
to hit any protected wild dogs or gazelles that run across the road,
and I'm not kidding. There are protected wild dogs and gazelles here
that we can't hit.

We don't care, though. It's the threat rocket and mortar attacks that
have more of my concern. But we have to have a sense of humor here.
Every once in a while something hilarious does happen and my troops
and I just bust a gut laughing. And here's one such story. The most
recent chuckle involved launching a dilapidated refrigerator made in
France from the catwalk on top of the Baghdad International airport
control tower. The control tower stands about 200 feet above ground
and the refrigerator reached terminal velocity quickly after leaving
the catwalk prior to impacting the ground. It may not sound a bit
funny to many people, however, military necessity dictated removal of
the refrigerator, made in France, from the tower cab. This necessity
arose because of a loud and annoying chronic squeal the French
refrigerator made each time it powered itself on. The squeal was often
heard as background noise in the radio transmissions made from the
tower. At first this background noise was misconstrued by coalition
military aircraft and civilian airliners as enemy electric radio
jamming countermeasures on our radio frequency. But the noise, coupled
with the drain in electric power from the refrigerator made in France,
weakened our radio output power transmissions and drowned out our
voice.
We considered for two-tenths of a second conducting an in-depth staff
study of the apparent noise jamming reports we received, but my senior
NCO solved the problem by pulling the electrical plug from the wall
connecting the refrigerator made in France. That worked for about a
week after which time the same refrigerator made in France began to
stink. The sunlight through the tower cab windows somehow turned the
inside of the refrigerator into a large yogurt culture. The only
course of action we deemed appropriate was to get rid of that
refrigerator made in France. Option one involved several flights of
stairs, would need to be surmounted downward as we would need to carry
the large icebox down the stairs. Option two involved using the
building's elevator, which also made in France. This was too risky
since the elevator only worked when it felt like it, and only between
the hours of ten and 1400, and only after much stroking with
preventive maintenance technicians. It's always the belt, the flimsy
rubber belts, the motor made in France that rendered the elevator made
in France useless to us to move the refrigerator made in France out of
the building.

No French technicians were around to fix any of this stuff and we
couldn't read the French placards on any of the machinery. Thus, in
order to avoid any lower back spinal disk vertebrae compression
fractures, at the time we settled on option three. We launched the
refrigerator made in France from the catwalk. It was decision made out
of military necessity. It came crashing down. It hit the sidewalk;
exploded wide open. There was also a rather large smelly dust cloud
that lingered for quite some time after impact. It attracted some
attention but it wasn't really clear with all the dust what really
happened after impact, but after awhile we didn't pay much attention
to any of it. We moved on and we're still moving on. Now there's no
loud squeal in the control tower radios. The radio transmitter is at
full electrical power and the safety of flight for coalition air
operations has increased exponentially. None of my comments are
intended to imply any political leanings one way or the other. Mr.
Limbaugh, war is ugly -- and it is, and some refrigerators are ugly.
There are things in the hearts of men that are far uglier than war
itself, and my troops and I are fighting for those cherished ideals of
democracy.

Democracy is our strategic weapon in the global war on terror -- and
from what I can see from my airmen, Iraqi counterparts, Iraqi families
and children, it's working here in Iraq. I'll never forget the images
of this war. It's horrible. But we really believe this is worth the
fight, and it's those stupid, priceless moments shared with my troops
like the above story, throwing the Made-in-France refrigerator off the
catwalk atop the Baghdad Control Tower that I know I will cherish
forever. Thank you again for supporting my troops out here in Iraq.
I'm honored by your gracious support. I admire your courage and wish
you continued success in spreading the message of war fighters
fighting for freedom to your audience because that's what this war is
all about. And we will win the battle for Iraq. In fact, we are
kicking some ass.

Thanks, Rush, for staying awake through this e-mail.

Mega dittos from Baghdad. May God bless you.

Very respectfully
Taz

So, Lucas taught the French how to make refrigerators, too?
