"If the terrorists are "dug in" and a C-130 is called in to target that position, the terrorists will then have to be "dug out" from under a lot of rubble."

I believe a C-130 is a cargo plane...

If you should ever see one with lots of pointy things sticking out of the side and flying 'round you in a hard bank; you'll know better.

C-130 is a converted gun platform and was called Puff the Magic Dragon in Nam.Gatling uns chew up the landscape with multiple cannon fire.
I think it is called a AC-130.
C does stand for cargo in the A.F.

I do believe that he meant an AC-130 - one of the most vicious prop planes in the AF arsenal.
