#1 sounds like its all gonna kick off real soon, time too call in the CAS, B1B's would be nice. Interesting to hear of american helo's operating, but couldn't the reporter be mistaking them for Pakistani AH-1 Cobras? i say this cos it seems odd he said american armoured carrirs were being used also - but where are the American soldiers? i can't see them lending the Paks thier medium armour, just seems odd. None the less should be an exciting spring watching this unfold...

#2 Jon, they call them American gunships and APC's because they are made in the USA. Gives them a reason to blame America. Not that they need a reason, mind you. It's the same when the "Zionist Oppressors" use American-made Apache helicopter gunships.

No different than the NYT or the BBC.
