| #17 Thanks Army for taking the The A-!0 project when the Airforce wanted to end it. I seem to recall in Desert Storm, Our troops got to watch the Warthog shoot munitions through 3 tanks before hitting the 4th and burning it to hell. I love the A-!0. Certainly an RHOG asset. |

| #16 Who doesn't love the A-10? That's some seriously old-school high-tek. About the only bird actually designed to take ground fire and just shrug it off. |

| #15 I am so glad Stormin' Norman declined to have those beautiful Warthogs decommissioned. Love that bird. |

| #14 THis is getting confusing - technically speaking, despite their Airstrikes agz Gaddafi's forces the Coalition is NOT supposed to favor or take one side oer the other. Iff Muammar's Air Force is destroyed or mostly destroyed as repor on the Net ala the Brits, then IMO using the A-10 WARTHOG is overkill - what more the BUFFS [B-1's, B-2's, etc]. PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, POTUS BAMMER + NATO-EU seem intent on making the Libyuh NFZ a SHOWCASE FOR OUR MUSLIM ALLIES, AS PER OWG-NWO, "GLOBALISM", + EMPOWERMENT OF ME = MUSLIM DMEOCRACIES, despite geopol uncertainty vee the Regional consequences of the various "Jasmine" Protests. IOW, THE US = US-WEST WILL NO LONGER DESIRE OR TAKE THE LEAD VEE MUSLIM POWERS AS PER UN-APPROVED/LED MAJOR MIL = "POLICE ACTIONS", ETC. IN THE ME OR ARAB-MUSLIM WORLD. A-10's + BUFFS + heavy EURO TACAIR = REGIONAL MUSLIM ALLIES ARE NOT IN CHARGE OER UN ACTIONS AFFECTING MUSLIM STATES?? |

| #7 The first order of business before we send over the Aluminum and Uranium Overcast is to slap a study on just WHO are the good guys. |

| #6 BTW ALL tank crews around the world live in fear of the A-10. Regular ground troops don't do too well against them either. But I heard this was strictly a un sponsored "no fly" zone. BTW we will need FACs to guide the A-10s or they might attack the good guys, so it wont be long before send some "advisors". Of course we will have to send some people to protect the advisers. Pretty soon you got yourself a quagmire. Giggity. |

| #5 Sorry, ran out of sense of humor. |

| #4 Sorry, ran out of tags. Yes of course A-10 vs. ground. Just, you know, kind of wondering at this pace whether Marines will be in this weekend...but just delivering food and water mind you. Yup-up. |

| #3 When I think T-72 or BTR, I think A-10. |

| #2 Warthogs, eh? Now Daffy will see real kinetic action. I don't know if the observation has been made before, but this looks to be the first coalition operation in American history, aside from the Revolution, in which our valiant cousins, the Australians, have not participated. It ain't good if the Diggers aren't on your side. Not good at all. |
