Soldier's Cell Phone Calls Parents During Battle in Afghanistan
But a recent unintentional voicemail turns out to be a different story, as it was left by Jeff Nolan, a soldier deployed in Afghanistan whose phone dialed his parents' home on Oregon on its own accord -- in the middle of a gunfight.
The nearly three-minute voicemail captures the sound of extended automatic gunfire, a bit of muffled profanity, and ends with a disturbing yell: "Incoming RPG!" Not exactly what you would want to hear coming from your son's phone! Thankfully, Jeff survived the battle, and his family has since posted the voicemail on YouTube for all to hear.

Where/who are you? God Forbid that there are still people in this country that still think that IRAQ committed the atrocity on 9/11. See I agree totally with the war--only the DESERVED war. The SAUDIS hit us on 9/11. They did it because they were tired of all the Supreme Court wrangling and afraid that their good friend Bush wouldn't get the White House. If Bush wasn't President, then how could the Saudis hope to get their 'shining star' Dubai Ports World? The Brits let that go to the americans but the Saudis always wanted to control the world's ports. They saw an opportunity with their family friend and business partner, almost yanked away because of a threatened recount. Then where would Dubai Ports World be?
Where it is now. Burka Tower in Dubai, and they do NOT control our ports. The Saudis figured that, after they massacred 3,000+ of our people on 9/11, and their good bud Bush poined the American people to THE WRONG COUNTRY (Iraq) all they (the Saudis) had to do was to sit back, watch their good bud's renewed hold on the Presidency (a war'll do it EVERY TIME) and, they'd collect the spoils later on. Only the American people (most of them) aren't that dumb anymore. We know Iraq was a lie and it was sold to us because of 9/11 and the real cause of the war is the Kirkuk Oilfield. The sad thing? Some people still do think that it is because of honor and that hit on 9/11. Wake up, folks, and smell the roses. We got a bunch of oil-well thugs in the White House. But it's not our fault that we were lied to--it's the Liars' fault.
The tremendous effort being put forth by Corporate America to keep their thieving Liar in office, will surely earn a place in some future issue of Ripley's Believe-it-or Not. And now that he's leaving, the one thing that these Corporate thugs fear more than anything, is another Clinton presidency. Everyone worked, then. We all made money AND all our laws were followed. No kicking Americans out of work, no extension of HB 1 visas, none of the crap that happens now. I didn't work during ANY Republican administration. But I did work all during the Clinton one. I guess my--and a lot of other--Americans' work misfortune, was Corporate America's good fortune. I could hear these evil creeps now: No! No! NOT ANOTHER CLINTON!!!!
So now the idiot Dems are going to meet tomorrow to see if they give the nod to Barack-come-lately, who was a virtual unknown last August when Rove left the White House with the cryptic remark "It's just time". Even though Bush still had a yr, & 3 months or so to go. Rove had to hand-pick a Dem nominee to run against Hillary Clinton, who was wrapped in the remembered splendor of her husband's Administration. And the priests of Obama's church--a Denominational AND a Catholic--show how deep the fix was in, to keep Hillary out of the White House.
There's a good chance it won't work. The Corporate Media is singing that Hillary's candidacy is doomed, but they've been saying that ever since February, and she racked up win after win, though the Media tried their best to ignore her in favor of Barack Who, and finally enough people started laughing at their efforts for them to quit. Even then they still showed their true colors; since they couldn't ignore Hillary any more they tried their usual standby, lying about her. So--I now get my American news from the BBC. Shame on American journalism for allowing itself to be coopted by the likes of Rupert Murdoch. But with a little bit of spine showed by the Dems--she will be the nominee. She is the only one--THE ONLY ONE--who could beat McBush (I mean, McCain). Obama doesn't have a prayer, against a War Hero like McCain. Only the wife of an extremely successful US President, which Bill Clinton certainly was, has any hope of beating McCain. And now the Dems are going to meet to "see if they nominate her".
If they don't. I'll follow a lot of my friends and join the Independent Party.
