If these were known facilities preparing IED's why didnt ground troops just watch them and kill everyone coming or going, in or out?
To: SandRat
Glad to read there are still some F-14 Tomcats in active inventory. And doing great work taking out and IED production facility.

Immediacy of action I would hazard to guess to keep devices from going out.

I gues you are right, but somehow when I see stories of insurgents and bomb making I want to see those people dead. Those manufacturers of American deaths need killing.
To: sgtbono2002
Generally, when you destroy a facility, most of the occupants get some damage, too. I'm betting that a few bad guys got smithereened.

You're right about wanting to see the death of those animals in their own little hovel of murder!
I want to see the video of the bomb drop from the aircraft camera or the camera from the ground units that were "painting" the target!
Man, that would make me smile.

Glad to read there are still some F-14 Tomcats in active inventory. And doing great work taking out and IED production facility. With the Cats last days coming very soon - Such a terrible decision to not have updated the F-14 (and to have gone solely with the F-18's) - I love the 18's but they are not a true replacement -
Small dirty secret is many SOF on the ground put in request for F-14's not 18's for CAS standbys - (and that is the F-14 secondary role and the 18's primary to boot!).
One of VP (then SecDef) worst decisions while in Gov't office - Shutting down the F-14 program.

GOD BLESS them ALL, they are the BEST of the BEST. There is a lot less IED's that will hurt our GUYS. God Bless America and ALL who have and will defend HER!

Lets see how the mainstream media will spin this.

We should start a pool on what scumbag journalist does it first.

Want to start a pool on how long it takes for some Islamonutjob to claim that Hurricane Wilma was ordered to hit Mexico first because they came to help us after Katrina.

And then the Stupid ASS Navy is going to Decom ALL F-14 Tomcats in favor of the fuel hog and no legs F/A-18.
