AC-130U Gunship Was On-Scene In Benghazi, Obama Admin
Refused to Let It Fire
If you don’t get
torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you are not an American:
The
security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly
requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by
U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams
on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex
went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in
Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned
that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among
them Delta Force operators.
The AC-130U is a very
effective third-generation fire-support aircraft, capable of continuous and
extremely accurate fire onto multiple targets. It has been used numerous times
in Iraq and Afghanistan to save pinned-down allied forces, and has even been
credited with the surrender of the Taliban city of Kunduz
It was purpose-built for
a select number of specific mission types, including point-defense against
enemy attack. It was literally built for the kind of mission it could have
engaged in over Benghazi, if the administration had let it fire. As the excerpt
above clearly shows, we had assets on the ground “painting” the targets with
the laser.
An AC-130U flies in a counter-clockwise
“pivot turn” around the target, with the weapons all aimed out the left side of
the aircraft.
There are
two state-of-the-art fire-control systems (FCSs) in a AC-130U, using
television sensors,infrared sensors, and synthetic aperture strike radar. These
fire control systems can see through the dark of night, clouds, and smoke.
The two FCSs on the
AC-130U control a 25mm Gatling gun for area suppression, a precision 40mm
cannon, and a 105mm cannon which can engage hard targets.
What this means is that
we have the forces in the air and on the ground to have stopped the attack at
any point, eliminating the terrorists and saving American lives.

Update (Bryan): Here is an AC-130

rate of fire.
