Ping.
These are called targets. Damn Obama.....
Who is calling the shots on the ground?
We are supposedly not putting any boots on the ground, so where is our intelligence coming from?
Still won’t complete job without a large ground troop deployment and we have the best force in the world.
Why would Obama, McCain and Clinton give al Qaeda
MANPADs (20,000) and put AMERICANS in Harm’s Way?
how long before libtards say we can’t call them apache helicopters?
I’d hate to be flying low altitude missions over these animals.
Ask the same about Afghanistan, struck from the air with Big Bang drones for 13 years yet the Taliban somehow still keep attacking us. A big gun isn’t worth anything if you can’t accurately hit with it.
‘Sounds to me like those boots are getting a lot closer to “on the ground”.
so we have Boots in the air?
obonzo is a pos who has nearly destroyed our standing in the world.
How long before an Apache gets shot down?
This should be the Redskins owner’s response.
Apache losses to hostile fire were very low during the Iraq war.

Blog about the failure of the AH-64 Longbows at the Karbala Gap. Helicopter gunships are meant to be used as part of an air ground task group — preferably in support of mechanized infantry. You should not send them in alone. The planners of the strike at Karbala evidently forgot this rule.
Have you read anything to indicate that Apaches are being employed as they were at Karbala in 2003? If so, it would be the first time this were done in over 11 years.
Carpet bombing with B-52’s would be better IMHO.
Boots on the ground - The Apaches land somewhere
Will the pilots be given cyanide pills?
I would not want to be a kaffir air pirate captured by the Islamic State. At all.
There still isn’t an Operation name yet for this conflict is there?
