Right. The C-130 is just completely accurate? Given the coordiates from scared Marines on the ground are correct?

But we know the truth in Iraq because our press is right there? They are following this story like hawks!

Or have they left that rooftop hotel in the "Gree Zone" in Baghdad yet?

AC-130 can put down very accurate fire and take out a single building or, as in the above case, an entire weapons storage area. It is not a B-17 carpet bombing weapon......Polybius

Right. The C-130 is just completely accurate?....Burkeman1

Hmmmmm...Let's see. I say "very accurate" and Burkeman1 changes that to "completely accurate" in the very first sentence.

Let's see where this strawman argument set up leads to......

Given the coordiates from scared Marines on the ground are correct? But we know the truth in Iraq because our press is right there? They are following this story like hawks! Or have they left that rooftop hotel in the "Gree Zone" in Baghdad yet?

So, an AC-130 with literally a bird's eye view of the battlefield and crammed with detection equipment might not be "completely" perfect in every way so we should rely instead on.........what?

Then he veers off into an incoherent rant about the press as if Freepers who collectively have centuries of Armed Forces service know nothing about the military except what they hear on CNN.......

It seems that Burkeman1's strawman argument set up lead to......absolutely nowhere.

According to his previous post, AC-130's are "useless" and the narrow streets make tanks less than optimal and bombing kills civilians so........

Burkeman1 was absolutely correct in his previous post, guys. Our weapons are "useless" and the U.S. needs to admit the war is lost and come back home.
