My guess is that we now have boots on the ground as liaison and controlling the air strikes.

Your guess would be correct. They have been there scouting landing zones and doing FAC.

We have had boots on the ground for at least two weeks.

Correctamundo. Without spotters on the ground, there's no way for an AC-130 to accurately assess a target. Either Special Forces are already in place on the ground, or the AC-130s are killing everything they see. Since Obama said that there would not be any US troops on the ground, that pretty much guarantees that ground troops are already there.
