Spooky is Back
Wild thing reports that Spooky Is Back ~ 10,000 Rounds A Minute Baby:
During Vietnam, gunships destroyed more than 10,000 trucks and were credited with many life-saving close air support missions. AC-130s suppressed enemy air defense systems and attacked ground forces during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. This enabled the successful assault of Point Salines airfield via airdrop and airland of friendly forces.
Spooky is, well, spooky. You call it in when you don't give a fuck who's offended by your presence anymore.
Of course, the $64,000 question is... Al-Sadr or Ahmadinejad? Iraq or Iran? One or both?
Spooky has been to Iraq before, in November 2004 they helped our Troops clean up Fallujah. Its about time they returned, I've never backed the notion that our soldiers should be fighting in the streets in Iraq, nope, that makes no sense to me.
“It’s got tons of guns, and it’s got all kinds of stuff on it that can be applied to the problems you have,” Brig. Gen. Frank Gorenc, who refused to discuss the current AC-130 deployment, said in an AP interview.
That “stuff” includes “the ability to take these high-tech pods and to use them to find guys planting (bombs) and to find other nefarious activity,” he said.
Yes indeed, it looks like the gloves are coming off and the "insurgency" can look forward to a little fire under their ass. Its about time too.
