AC-130 gunships returning to Iraq

[Army Air Corps]

More Jihadis are going to meet the Grim Reaper.

Happy hunting to pilots and aircrews!

[IronJack]

Tell them Death is on the way. And Hell's in the caboose.

[Army Air Corps]

Typical AP reportage:

"...to a base in Iraq as commanders search for new tools to counter the Iraqi resistance, The Associated Press has learned."

Iraqui resistance, eh. Try foreign fighters, dimwit.

[Doe Eyes]

Wow, hours ago since your warning, and this thread is still up.

I wonder how many terrorist are logging in for troop movements.

[taillightchaser]

Kill 'em all and let God sort them out!!!

[A.A. Cunningham]

Those are KC-130s, gas passers and trash haulers. This is the beast you're looking for.

[mystery-ak]

They won't open...sigh!

[wyattearp]

You'd think that eventually they'd get the message. Everytime they cry "Havoc" some of these show up.

[CodeToad]

Nothing puts the fear of God into a bad guy like a Hell storm. I am glad it is there.

[rdcorso]

I wish they never left Iraq if they could have been used to kill the roadside bomb planting scum.I loved watching the video of the AC-130 blasting the terrorist on the ground like they were part of a video game.

[RightWhale]

The clock has been reset to four weeks due to the 30-day ultimatum.

[RightWhale]

We are doing very well on the loose lips thing this time. Fact is the schedule could be posted in downtown Terror-ran and it wouldn't do them a bit of good.

[muawiyah]

The IED's go off LONG AFTER the bad guys on the ground are gone from the site. Not sure who these planes would shoot up after the explosions ~ maybe the survivors?

Gotta' watch the timelines closely.

Now, "elsewhere in the region" means, no doubt DUBAI.

Are we relocating these planes because we intend to use them, or to protect them when we screw the UAE investors in the gantry crane deals?

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

PING

[halfright]

PUFF the Magic Dragon in regal display......

[ArtyFO]

Need to have one of these orbit over Yale for a few hours. They would only be shooting at the enemy there. Don't worry about the good Yale ROTC guys, they're 70 miles away.

[ocos]

When and why did they leave the Iraq Theater in the first place?

[blam]

"The clock has been reset to four weeks due to the 30-day ultimatum."

What 30 day ultimatum? Issued by whom? Have I missed something?

[blam]

"Are we relocating these planes because we intend to use them, or to protect them when we screw the UAE investors in the gantry crane deals?"

Maybe they are moving to a newly constructed base.(?)

"Military officials warned that disclosing the location of the aircraft's new base would violate security provisions of rules governing media access to U.S. installations. "

[irish guard]

Ping............ok, I saw this earlier, along with a KUNA report of Zarqawi possibly being captured, along with the big bang threat by AQ....any clues as to why we're bringing the "puff daddys" back? Something has to be up......
