Well, that's good to hear. And its even better that Gaddafi's forces didn't get hold of them.

EDIT: Just fixed some spelling mistakes.

This is good news.

I think it's a joke about the fact than an American-made vehicle has mechanical troubles. This is funnier, however:

Yeah, I'm not buying that one.
They probably got hit by some anti-air equipment.

Good thing they made it though.

quick! someone make a script, behind enemy lines: libya

does anyone know about the plane's mission, CAP,SEAD or bombing runs?

Apperantly another american jet strafed the area injuring 5 (non fatal), it was an accident as they didn't know if it was Rebel or Ghaddafi territory. (saw it on CNN)

The plane went down in one piece something that doesn't usually happen when a plane gets downed by AA. Not to mention the fact that their were tons of rebels who saw it happen and their description of the event seems to fall in line with the official statement.
