July 9th, 2007 at 5:42 amC130? You mean a Specter gun ship correct? Oh yes, that would work wonderfully. Too bad there are reporters crawling around the area and they would report it as some kind of massacre. Never mind that these people are religious fanatics that are killing their soldiers.
I am so tired of the kid’s gloves approach.
