It's amazing, the toys Dear old Uncle Sam gives us to play with! The AC 130 is, in a word, WICKED!! To see one in action will truly make your jaw drop. But the one thing that I still can't figure is why they always put restrictions on how we use our toys. It's like they want us to kill the enemy, but ohhh not TOO bad. Unleash the dogs of war and make BELIEVERS out of the enemy or make fertilizer out of them, one or the other. That is the one and only thing they will understand. Negotiating is a waste of time and breath. It's been proven time and again, a la mideast peace talks.
