If that's true, he ought to be answering questions about why he didn't call down a strike from the drone by the second quarter. Put everyone out of their misery.

That's definitely worth a listen. Although I prefer this version.

Why anyone would think that this were not possible is beyond me. What you don't know about is the AC-130H that was flying just out of visual range waiting to be called in for a strike.

Congratulations to beaverboard for using the word 'surreptitiously', and spelling it correctly.
