#9 I'm STILL waiting for an honest-to-the-name ARCLIGHT strike on one of these #$$%^#*&%&%$$ shithole states, just to "enlighten" them on what we CAN and WILL do if they don't knock this sh$$ off. It would probably only need one, but with the lack of "D" model Buffs, it might take a larger cell than just three aircraft. A dozen should do it. Maybe over Al Hudayah -- or perhaps Sana'a.
