They sent two gunships home with no rounds left."

No point in hauling ammo back to base as long are there are terrorist thugs upon which to expend it.

No fewer than 20 types of aircraft have been thrown into the fight, including 10 fixed-wing planes, three types of helicopters and seven kinds of unmanned drones.

But you know they'll never surrender...and John Kerry has plan B in his briefcase (but that's a secret).

"They'd just walk rounds down the street in front of the Bradley teams," said Staven, 43, of Great Falls, Mont. "They sent two gunships home with no rounds left."

WOOHOO!

Allah Fubar failed to inform his raggedy raghead followers of our election results.

The only thing I regret about Kerry not becoming president is that he would have made these raids more effective and more sensitive.

Before my house was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan, I could sit on my back porch and watch the AC-130's circling over Eglin AFB, firing their cannon at the bombing range within a few miles of where I sat. On a clear evening, you could see the muzzle flash each time a 105mm round was fired.

The power of the American military is an awesome spectacle to behold. Those bastards in Fallujah are getting what they deserve.
