Exactly.
Really good show tonight.
As an individual with OCD... I can't imagine even walking in that room! Enjoy your "moondust," Cooper. *shudders* 😀
Great show! Nice end to my 20th birthday. Have a good night everyone!
Thank you Anderson and CNN. Sweet Dreams.
Good night Anderson (night???? ... Lol..)
Good night Erica, David (Indiana) and friends!
May we all be at peace!
See you tomorrow!
Sarah Palin is irrelevant. How about some bidding for dinner with the AC360 crew. That would be some interesting conversation.
Goodnight all
Anderson Et Al, Thank you so much for the reporting from Afganistan. It is an important issue that the American people are going to have to support (or not).Really great reporting.
Thank you Erican & Team 360 & good night too.
Good night to my fellow bloggers.
The shot: very informative. you guys are tough! Know about the dust from living in the desert in NM...can't get rid of it no matter what you do.
God Bles the troops who live in the tents.
That layer of dust is typical of living in any desert. However, it sounds particularly bothersome in the middle east.
Ac, your quarters are almost as messy as my daughter's room.
Thank you! Anderson, Ericka and everyone tonight. Be safe to all those in harms way
I feel so bad for the troops.
Time to get out of Afganistan.

I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't give a plugged nickle to have supper with Palin.
