| #3 "Pinpoint airstrikes" or a pair of A-10s? Standoff weapons. |

| #2 OP, my bet is that strikes were from well above ground AA range. One thing I've found odd is that I haven't heard of a single US casualty in this entire air campaign. An A-10 is a superb platform for ground attack, but it flies low and slow, and thus is subject to damage from ground fire. Obama doesn't want that. |

| #1 "Pinpoint airstrikes" or a pair of A-10s? And yes, the Air Force would obfuscate. |
