In the Helicopter Crash thread I pointed out that the military no longer uses a "ground fuel" and an "aviation fuel"--they use one fuel, JP-8.
http://www.autonews.com/article.cms?articleId=43091Officially called MIL-T-83133, Fuel, Aviation Turbine Engine, JP-8 is the Holy Grail to a logistician. Instead of having to haul Motor Gasoline (mogas), Kerosene, Diesel DF-2, Jet Fuel JP-4, Naval Jet Fuel JP-5 and whatever else someone might need for the particular system they're running, they just take Jet Fuel JP-8 to the woods and put it in everything that doesn't require gasoline, and there's not much of that equipment left.
Read that closely, friends: There Is No Other Fuel In Theatre. There Is Only JP-8.
Which means they couldn't have 'contaminated' the JP-8 by not scrubbing out a tanker that used to contain JP-8 before putting fresh JP-8 in it, and NBC is whoring for someone over there, or in DC.
The question is, who?
