This is the real test: We know what happened. We know what assets were available, and what authority was necessary to use them. We also know that certain actions were performed that indicate an armed platform in the area with laser-guided weapons. It would follow that somebody was driving this asset. The “Test” is whether the spineless, gutless “Republican Leadership” is willing to engage, or whether they are just going to make threatening noises and run away.
My money is on run away, for they are gutless cowards.
That's the thing I've found tremendously curious. Nobody, particularly a trained professional wastes their time painting a target with a GLD unless they have some belief that laser guided munitions are on the way or will be shortly.
To designate a target without the expectation of fire support makes about as much sense as walking around your whole life with a strange set of keys in your pocket hoping that someday you'll just happen upon the house and the car that go with them.
