OT The Rotten Haliburton replaces the JUNK French Fridge in the control tower in Baghdad!

Halliburton Obtains American Fridge for Taz's Troops
December 14, 2005



BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to go back to one thing the president said in his speech
about morale and how when the Democrats and these critics... He
referred to them as irresponsible, irresponsible comments coming from
the critics, and he means Democrats. He said these irresponsible
comments have a deleterious effect on morale. You might remember that
it wasn't long ago, a couple weeks ago, a week ago, I got an e-mail
from the commander of the 447th Expeditionary Operations Support
Squadron, basically the air traffic control group at Baghdad
International, the military air traffic control crew. I got an e-mail
from a man known as Taz, who is their commander. The e-mail talked
about how their morale was way up, and they appreciate all of the
support that they are getting from all of you here at home, and Taz
told this funny story about how they had this French-made refrigerator
in the control tower, and as the thing cycled on -- you know,
refrigerators, after they cool down, then they shut off, and when the
temperature inside gets too high, they come on and start cooling the
contents down.

When this thing came on and started recycling to cool, it emitted all
kinds of noises. When the air traffic controllers in the Baghdad
control tower would key their microphones to talk to military flights,
these noises could be heard and at first everybody thought that the
signal was being jammed, that people were toying around, and they
figured out eventually it was the refrigerator made in France. So the
crew took the refrigerator out on a catwalk outside the control tower
and just threw it overboard. It landed 200 feet down there, and it
exploded, and now they were without a refrigerator in the control
tower. They had all these contents in there, and it looked like it had
all become yogurt when it exploded, and they hadn't gone down to
inspect it yet. They made sure nobody was down there to get hit by it,
but they dumped it overboard. I read that e-mail on the air, and I've
gotten another e-mail from the commander of the air traffic control
squadron at Baghdad International.

Mr. Limbaugh,

Words from Halliburton regarding the death of our Baghdad Control
Tower refrigerator made in France. Halliburton, Kellogg Brown & Root
executives, told me here that they're going to try to get us a new
fridge for the Baghdad control tower. This one's going to be American
made.

So apparently the story of the faulty French-made refrigerator at the
Baghdad control tower was heard, and Halliburton is going to provide
them with a new American-made refrigerator.

Taz writes: I know it will stand proudly in our tower cab, and it will
stand proud, and I know it won't produce a loud and annoying chronic
squeal like our former old dilapidated refrigerator made in France
did, and I know it won't suck the electrical power out of our tower
radios whenever it powers itself on like the old refrigerator made in
France did -- and I know it won't have any adverse impacts on the
safety of coalition air operations like the made in France
refrigerator did, but I will be sure the water condensation drip tube
from our new American refrigerator doesn't create any puddles inside
my tower cab like the French-made refrigerator did, because I just
hate it, Mr. Limbaugh, when you have to splash through puddles of
refrigerator water on the way to the air control tower microphones,
and I don't want to have to explain refrigerator water puddles to my
chain of command.

I'll ensure my senior NCOs appropriately route the drip tube of our
new fridge outside the control tower windows. We'll do our best to
respect the grave of our former refrigerator made in France. That's
the fridge I wrote you about earlier. That's the fridge that cart
wheeled all the way down after being launched from our control tower's
catwalk. It exploded on impact on the pavement 200 feet below, but
it's still there. We're afraid to touch it. We try not to look at it,
but it's resting peacefully in its grave now. However, every once in a
while a pack of protected wild dogs comes along and sniffs around that
refrigerator. But military necessity will take priority and the
correct decision regarding the drip tube of our new American made
refrigerator will be made. We'll analyze the ballistics of the water
as it drips from the new fridge, and we'll try not to allow the
condensation line drip tube water from our new fridge to desecrate the
grave of our former refrigerator made in France. We will send you a
picture when we get the new fridge in the Baghdad International
airport control tower from Halliburton. If you want, please send an
EIB sticker and photo and I'll slap it on the front door. That's the
opposite side of the drip tube.

-Taz

This is from Taz, the commander of the air traffic control squadron at
Baghdad International. It sounds to me like morale is doing okay. I
wanted to share that with you because it's hilarious. We can visualize
these guys tossing their French refrigerator 200 feet overboard, and
it's still there. Nobody's had the guts to go down and move it or
touch it.

Oui! Ze Fransh, zey make nossink but zhonk!

Which does not explain why our balance of trade with France is about
$-9billion. Do we make worse junk than even the French?

Did Halliburton really give them a Chinese built, American branded fridge to
replace the old French one?

And how old was that French fridge?

Having all the details may change the complexion of the story...

Anyway, that's not the main thing... read on...

So, the President says criticism is having a "deleterious effect on morale"
but Rush checks up on things (thank God we've got Rush to check the facts...
oh, the irony...) and determines that morale is doing very well, thank you.

So, Rush proved the President is out of touch with reality. Thanks, Rush,
for the confirmation!

And Scott, thanks for posting!

You are more than welcome.

Democrats are trying to lose Iraq.....and ruin the troops morale.

Democrats are losing....big time...

Scott if you talk to those that have served in Iraq you will find they can
not believe what they see on TV and read in newspapers as to what is really
happening in Iraq. They will tell you, to the man, what they see in the
media is far from the truth about the realities in Iraq. I talked to a
solider from Detroit at the Philadelphia airport, he alluded to the fact
more people were murder in his home town than the numbers of guys that died
in Iraq during his tour.

He had the stats right then and there for you?? Wow! He'd better get back
to Iraq soon! It is obviously far safer than being back in the USA! ;-)

Sure is, to say nothing of 43,000 plus that die in automotive accidents
ANNUALLY in the US. ;)

Did you guys hear about the Baghdad resident who heard that most injuries
occur within 5 miles of home? He moved 6 miles away. ;-)

Maybe some poor Iraqi family would have wanted the noisy fridge.

By the way, I was looking at a Sears Kenmore Fridge made by LG. What a
piece of junk. $1600. It is their french door model made in the far east
somewhere, with bottom freezer and door mounted water dispenser. You have
got to go to Sears and check this thing out. The handles feel like it is
going to fall off.

The soldier I talked to told me that the morons in Washington were
preventing the soldiers from doing what was necessary to win. He was a
medic by the way.

I'm sure if you want to find out how many people die annually in motor
