breaking news from FOX-----AC130 gunship --

Caught the tail end of something about an air attack, but then they went to something else. That's cool. Maybe ethiopia has had a little more help than anyone thought.

There will be a lot of dead bodies there now.

Casualties on the ground reported and apparently it's still ongoing.

[Gaffer]

Yeah just heard that too. Special ops is in there.

I love how they say there may be casualties. Duh. You can bet there are a lot of casualties in the area. The C-130 wouldn't be used unless there were enough fighters there to warrent its use and everything in the area would be dead.

Hmmm .... Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Somalia.

No global threat there.

Muslims.

Muslims.

I'm just going on the AQ thing. Seems to me, AQ is behind all the hate and discontent in Africa and Southwest Asia with the exception of Hamas and Hezbollah who have their own private little thing going, financed and supported by Iran.

While I know there are Muslims who don't really go for AQ's MO, they're REALLY quiet Muslims. First thing that happens around here when some Christian kook goes on a rage is Christians get in line to denounce the actions. Take those retards calling themselves Baptists that like to disrupt funerals for example.

Fact is, Islam aside, Arab culture teaches Arabs to despise and distrust Western society, and the US in particular. I'm sure saying that has cause a few PC secular progressives to piss their pants, but we read about it every day, and I have seen it myself first-hand. Religious fanatacism is only throwing JP5 on the fire.

From what I have read so far it seems the jihadists were on the move after holing up for a few days. They were followed by a preditor and a carrier group was sent into the region. There were appearantly a lot of them and with the preditor guiding it in the C-130 flew over and blasted the area. Sounds like there were lots of bodies laying around when it left. The ethiopians are moving into the area. And I guess their are special ops guys in there too.

From what I read, the US backed Ethiopia's operations and they sent AQ running. They should have sent TWO AC-130s.

yeah ethiopia did the leg work while our guys supplied the intel and some equipment. I wouldn't be surprised if the air support they had wasn't American fighter bombers. The ethiopians don't have their hands tied by pc so they can go in and act appropreately, which means kill em all.

I'll bet Ethiopia gets a bunch of financing out of this. And the great thing is they are not muslim.

Yeppers and puff was one mean machine. The new versions are even more deadly.

I watched puff turn a whole half mile hilltop into churned dirt. And the tracers caught the hill on fire and burned everything up down to the bottom. Awesome sight.

ManU doesn't matter how skinny they are. Those mini's put a round every six inches. Not to mention they also fire 105's, and 20 mm explosive rounds like a machine gun. Nothing underneath those things survives.

They have tracers every fifth round and it looks like a laser beam snaking around in the air.

You don't have to be an ace marksman with a weapon that puts out 2000 rounds a minute. You just need to be in the general vicinity.

I want one. I'd use it to "practice" flying between Brownsville and El Paso.
