there is always the option of using fixed wing jets to perform what is called a 'show of force:' a low-altitude high-speed pass meant to intimidate the enemy and indicate the presence of American airpower over the battlefield.

At the very damn least!

Our SEALs, Delta Force and other special forces would have been chomping at the bit to go into Panetta’s ‘risky’ situation. After all, it was just a band of protesters upset about a YouTube video, right?

WAKE UP AMERICA:

On 9/11/2001 al Qaeda took out the Pentagon and the WTC
and the airplane in PA.

Today, some in the Pentagon appear to incredibly
defend weapons transfers (20,000 MANPADS) to al Qaeda.

This is TREASON, folks.
Absolutely clear in the light of day.

It’s not a laser range finder...that’s cheap civilian equipment. It’s a laser designator, and the operators only use that when they know they have an assett nearby that can take advantage of it...meaning carrying a weapon that can home in on the laser targeting.

That’s the damning part of the info we are getting. If Ty Woods was actively lasing a target, and we are told that it was the mortar team that was targeting him and ultimately killed him, then he was only doing that because he knew there was an aircaft on scene that could take down the target. But it didn’t, so someone had to order that aircraft not to fire.

On November 6th, it’s time...past time, that We the People:

Also unremarked is that these are compounds, not right in the middle of apartments.

I like the excerpt from the Marine Corps manual.

They took out a 16 year old American citizen in Yemen as “ollateral damage” but couldn’t take out a painted mortar position beause of the risk of ollateral damage? These people are FOS.

Aside from pictures of burned out and looted buildings, has anyone seen evidence of a firefight?

The GLTD can function in several ways:

1. continuous painting for a munition that is terminally guided via laser

2. acquisition of GPS coordinates of a nearby place chosen by the operator —he paints the target to record and later transfer the GPS coordinates

3. faking out an enemy believed capable of detecting their own illumination. This is to cause them to flee, or to stop some form of activity

So you see for Woods to have been painting a target does not necessarily mean there had to have been an armed platform orbiting above. It would make it LIKELY, but not certain. It is possible he was faking them out or had the intent to forward the GPS coordinates to a platform that was nearby, due to arrive, or SAID to be due to arrive.
