Hell, the bit about flying a jet over the rioters is not some new “revelation.” The Benghazi “truthers” were floating that one months back, when rumor went around that there were fighter jets that might have reached Benghazi as the riot was ongoing. We had suggestions in the press that the drones sent would have been “enough,” that pointing a laser dot on a few of the militiamen/terrorists would have spooked them into running.

Which is BS, IMO, because don’t laser designators operate outside the visible spectrum? If so, there’d be no “laser dot” for anyone on the ground to see anyway.
