Puff? What is this, 1969?
Actually they are still alive and well.
Currently there are eight AC-130H and seventeen AC-130U aircraft in active duty service.

Good move, I guess next targets against state oppression will be Bahrain and Kingdom saudis ..Right ?
Why, you have all your roommates food and resources to steal.Exactly. If Obama is so generous with other people's money, he can send some of it to me. I'll only require 1 million please.
I hope that the US wouldn't be involved in that level of interaction in Libya.
Those missiles were bought and paid for already. Also, your priorities are a little misplaced if you're complaining about 110 missiles being used when the defense budget is $726+ billion and going up every year.just send my kid the bill for those missles, as usual.

I am having a very difficult time understanding why we need to be involved in this.
Actually, Obama is being pretty generous with military funding, which is why he is trying to increase the defense budget beyond (inflation adjusted) Reagan and GWB levels.In military terms, he's not nearly so generous with it as your hero, GWB.
Wait, isn't a football field pretty much level to begin with?The cruise missiles are mostly just to scare people and maybe get a few quick targets of opportunity before everyone ducks for cover. By the time you hear them they're already past you and over the horizon out of sight. Very intimidating.
Then there's the modified C130 known as "Puff" that can level a football field with just bullets in 30 seconds. The noise alone will send them running like so many cockroaches. But, they have to wait until the skies are clear to bring that in.
Boys and their toys, what are you gonna do?
If we're to ask that other NATO countries help when he think our national interests are at stake - and the UK and Canada have really stepped up - then it's only fair we do the same when they think their own national interests are at stake.
Actually the use of these missiles will help the US economy, someone has to manufacture new ones.
We should not taking military action against a country without a declaration of war.
Shame on you Obama.
There are already troops on the ground. These targets don't just magically get selected. Unless you want to believe that it's all done by satellite imagery lol.
Question for all the sudden pacifists: If preventing a totalitarian dictator from massacring a peoples' rebellion isn't the correct use of military force, what is?

I love seeing these threads and wondering how many posters could potentially be called to fight in a war in Libya. We currently don't have enough service personnel to fight in 3 wars.
