Those ejecting shells must really mess up the paint.

"Too light on armor, though, for our troops." I think that its use would be more for something like a presidential procession...Just another unasumming SUV until truble starts...then look out...

Musharaf is the one domino whose fall will be the one we should all watch.
If a coup occurs in Pakistan, let’s hope and pray that the person who takes over is not an Islamist nutjob. Remember, Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
This is a very hard case of supporting the devil you know.
To: Red_Devil 232
Great footage, but that’s definitely an Apache targeting system.
Even with camera stabilization you will still have a circling effect on the target as you watch it because we just haven’t been able to get 130s to hover in place yet. :-)

I agree, but that’s pretty hard to control 4k rpm in a crowd situation. I really wouldn’t want that sucker deployed anywhere INCONUS, except maybe the southern border.

I think Mushie is scared sh*tless he’ll be toppled and, I think Bush has told him we’ll take out Pakistan’s nukes if they don’t let us take care of the bad guys in Pakistan. Remember, the Pakis have nukes that we REALLY don’t want the even worse guys to get their hands on (like the Iranians).

It's true (has been in the shadows already) and you're correct. It is very big. AQ elements will be scattering....Intel will go through the roof.
To: IrishMike
He really has no choice. The militant islamists have their base of support in this region. He has to root them out at the source or watch his country continue sliding toward civil war. I suspect this will be done in conjunction with major crackdowns in the cities. Things are about to get very unpleasant for the radicals in Pakistan.
He also has China and India looking over his shoulder. If the radicals take over in Pakistan, they are not likely to sit on their hands while some whackjob grabs the Paki nuclear football.
There is a lot at stake here. On both sides.

Let us hope US Special Forces teams are given the free reign to cross and get the bastards with the aid when required of air strikes. Tis about frigen time Mussy realize either he stops farting off, and realize his country is crawling with al Qaeda and other radical Islamic groups that must be killed off, or this crap will go on for a very long time.
These networks and the brains must be killed off at their sources. It must be demonstrated on a daily basis that they have no more safe havens, only the prospects of being killed.

Mushie is running out of cat lives.
When he goes the Nukes fall into Islamist hands. I hope we have contingency plans.
