“This is a bad idea.”
And what is your ‘Good Idea’?
JDAMs from 30,000 feet?
Cluster Bombs would be great, but the Press & Anti-War groups would come unglued.
We’d be left with round the clock coverage of Jane Fonda, Cher & John Kerry singing ‘Kumbaya”.
Helicopters in the absence of troops on the ground is a mistake. They are too easy to shoot down. JDAM from 30k work just fine, assuming you have somebody around capable of feeding good coordinates to the aircrew.
Didn’t we get rid of our cluster munitions back when Bill was our dearly beloved leader?
If so, I’m sure the Russians would love to sell us some of their really nifty cluster munitions.
