Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, speaking at the Pentagon, suggested Monday that U.S. airstrikes could next start targeting Taliban front-line positions facing Afghan opposition fighters in the northeast. Oh goody, let's remind the Taliban soldiers that they are on the wrong side.

"Puff the Magic Dragon will help in granting that wish...." Last night, the folks familiar with this aircraft, said that this isn't puff the magic dragon, puff was a predecessor to this plane. It's doing the same function as puff, just better.

Awesome picture!!! And I certainly respect a man (or President) that is willing to use force - either to defend himself or to prevent further attacks. W just needs to send a few more in for daily (24 hour) cleanup operations.

I was wondering why this was sent in instead of helicopters. Then, I remembered that someone last night said that it could 'blind' a missle (Stinger?) then immediately target the area from where the missle was fired. Helicopters can't do that.

My local radio station called the AC-130 "Puff, the Magic Dragon" this morning.
To say that the "Spectre" is the same as "Puff" is about like saying "Bigfoot" is just another pickup truck!
