Damn I'm glad the AC-130's only had 'chine guns. Think of the damage any other weapons system might of caused.

Nice
US intell has been aware of the situation there for a minimum of two years. Nice to see we finally hit that rats nest. Hope the last thing they saw was muzzle flash and the falling links started a few fires.

Great News but....
Djibouti sucks..... Great work by our Air Force Guys... hopefully they got a break in Qatar or somewhere. Djibouti is the most savage place I have ever been. I hope they have done some improvements since 2002. If they got the AC-130s there they probably have.

LOL "Inshallah Terrorist Ass hats" seems appropriate.

Nothing but death "falls" from an AC-130. No links, no cases fall from the bird. I spent about eight hours in one once. 
(You are thinking of an attack helo.)

By the way thanks to all the QP's for training that fine Ethiopian infantry kicking the crap out of the Somali's and their new guests.

Go, go, Spectre! Nice to see the Ethiopians, Kenyans, and the US bringing some well-deserved pain to the terrorist asshats!
Edit: I see the Army or Marine Corps have joined in as well via attack helicoptors.
