At one stop, U.S. service members surrounded CNN's Jamie McIntyre while he filmed his news spot in front of an F-117 stealth fighter at Al Jabr Air Base, Kuwait. Ending his filmed report, McIntyre had a momentary lapse: "Jamie McIntyre, CNN, -- uh -- uh --- uh -- where are we again?". The troops laughed. McIntyre then recalled the base name, and reshot the ending: "Jamie McIntyre, CNN, 'Al JAB-ber' Air Base, Kuwait". The troops whooped, cheered and applauded, for McIntyre had used their nickname for the base, not the official pronunciation "Al Jah-BAR."
