Wasn’t there a report that they were “painting” the target where the mortars were firing from, and asking for help. Doesn’t that mean an AC-130 Gunship was somewhere in the area?

Great point. If support is dozens of hours away as the general implied, then laser pointing would make no sense.

The idea that we have people in Libya and leave them with some pistols is at least pathetically stupid at the very least.

Seriously. How how hard is it to drop a smart bomb from an attack plane capable a speed of sound type speed?

I’m no military guy. But I’d thinking some base could deliver a plane from Italy to Libya inside of 20 minutes? Someone help me out here.
