“At the end of the day, ground forces and close air support assets worked together to kill between 50 and 70 insurgents while sustaining zero coalition or civilian casualties.”
A few years ago, this would have been reported as an attack on a wedding party, investigations to follow.

Taliban thought that the severe weather and heavy cloud cover would protect them.
Not with US Air Force and US Navy aircraft on station.
They found out how wrong they were as the FAC on the ground had what he needed to target the enemy and the bombs rained down through the clouds, precisely on target.
The more of these Taliban, Al Quida, and any other fundamental Islamic fighters we eradicate and slaughter, the better.

"On this particular night, they believed the heavy cloud cover and fog would prevent CAS from blowing them up -- it did not." Heh, as the Russians say, "Tuffski Sh*tski". ;o)
