After a night of continuous bombardment by US gunships, the number of surviving Taleban was still further reduced, and by mid-morning the Northern Alliance had pushed the Taleban back into a large compound inside the PoW camp. One US special forces soldier called the bombing “fireworks you’ll never forget”. AC130 Spectre attack helicopters flew overhead five times, hovering and firing at close range.

Sounds like we have a new weapon an AC-130 helicopter - wow. where's the BS detector?

This is the press, they don't let the facts get in the way of spinning a good yarn.

I doubt these "reporters" have a working knowledge of US firepower.
