I wish an A-10 had made the strike. It is less expensive to take out a few dirt bags with the Warthog than to use and F-16 and a missle.
A big plus is the AQ might hear the A-10 approaching. That would shoot the pucker factor off of the chart before they went dark.

“...Both men were detained for questioning.’

Maybe the locals should keep these “men” and do their own questioning, probably a lot more effective then our techniques.

I love military euphemisms:

“The jets engaged the van with one Maverick laser-guided missile, resulting in the destruction of the weapons systems and three enemies killed.”

In other words, we blew the crap out of them.

Are you suggesting that the McCain-Pelosi-Reid approved method of patty-cake interrogation might be less than effective?

I wish it were an AC130. Then there would be nothing left of them but itty bitty insurgent pieces.

What do you think is left of them now? Merely “bitty pieces”?

Mostly chunks and perhaps the occasional slab.

Like this?

Caption: This is a time lapsed photo of an AC-130 gunship flying a circular pattern over Afghanistan, with cannons and guns blazing. The shells are large, every fifth one is a tracer, so you can imagine how many are raining down on the enemy. No one wants to be under this.

Some days it does not pay to get out of bed.

But on the plus side these morons decided to get out of bed and the rest is history.

Yeah, that's what I had in mind. Imagine that focused on a single vehicle for a few seconds.

Well that is just intolerable! We need smaller sized remains than that, for sure.
