| #5 Islamists 'test' rockets; US forces don't need to - they know they work fine. Wanna see? |

| #4 Hope these asshats try using their bottle rockets on SPECTRE now that the "perjurer-in-chief" cannot withhold backup. |

| #3 Spectre is in Djibouti, along with a lot of US Special Forces and French Foreign Legion troops. Getting too froggy around those guys is a REALLY bad idea, since they might decide that they need a livefire exercise, with the Islamists as the primary OpFor. And just for Rooters, the dead tend to bounce around, and up and down, a lot when a Spectre strike is grinding up an area. |

| #2 Yeah, but a .50 HMG manned by jihadis is much more impressive than a 155mm self-propelled cannon manned by professional western soldiers, because they *do* makes very ferocious faces, while rolling their eyes savagely, and jumping up and down like the best of them... if THAT doesn't impress a reporter, especially a rooters one, then I don't know what will! |

| #1 al-Rooters think a DShK 12.7mm machine gun is "heavy artillery"? And here I thought the dividing line was more than 105mm (medium), but less than 155mm (heavy). Silly me. |
