How about some...

MEGADETH !!!

” No rules of engagement,this enemy hides
Amongst women and children

And to beat violence,you must ignore the focus groups
You must send in the Mossad, turn of the BBC,CNN
And don’t look back
Rest assured there’ll be no more Middle Eastern crisis,hell!
There’ll be no more Middle East!

But a roaring lion is about to be unleashed on earth
Hey,Jihad Joe?Guess what?We’re coming to get you! “

An AH-64 Apache helicopter engaged the sedan destroying it.

Three people were observed running from the meeting house to a nearby house.

A U.S. Air Force F16 Fighting Falcon dropped two 500-pound GPS-guided bombs on the second house.

Ah, a Green Blue tag team effort. This is jointness as it's supposed to work. Not like Air Force and Navy enlisted troops running convoys and patrolling the towns.

I love it when Jihadies go BOOM!

I don't why, but at this point I started to laugh. It's like trying to step on cockroaches, and you keep getting a bigger shoe.

Damn, our guys are great! I wish they had it all on video! I would pay to see it!

Probably do, from three different platforms. The UAV, the Apache and the F-16.

Around, around the mountains and bush,

The missile chased the mullah,

The mullah said `please leave me alone’,

POP! Goes the mullah!

“I’d be interested in knowing how our boys are getting this info about the whereabouts of the bad guys.”

So would the bad guys. I’m sure the New York Times is on the case.

Awesome coordinated effort between Air Force and Army. However, ask yourself how much it cost us to kill a few terrorists who can easily be replaced, and will be replaced.

Then think how little it costs for the enemy to build a roadside bomb that kills American heroes and their expensive equipment. Economically speaking, we pay the higher price and the terrorists know it.

""Enter Sandman"..."

Enter Sandman is too good of a tune for these bastards.

There is a Def Leppard tune called "The Gods of war".

With Helicopters flying overhead, gunfire, rockets and bombs a recording of Ronald Reagan plays in the background.

"A message to terrorists everywhere, you can run but not hide.

We are not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states, we will not cave in.

Today we have done what we had to do, he counted on America to be passive.....he counted wrong."

The song was largely an anti war song but this part at the end was embraced by our soldiers.

Here is an comment on the song by one of our brave men.

" I am just writing this note to say if you've not ever listened to the song you wouldn't know that it has sound bytes of Ronald Reagan's famous speeches about not giving in to terrorism and the wrong assumption of the terrorists and terrorist states to think that they could get us to do what they wanted us to do by the methods of terrorism, in the context of Omar Qaddafi. In light of the present it holds a much more significant context. Listen to the song and they are excellent quotes. I know that the song was more or less written as a rant against what we as America was doing against terrorism, but with the soldiers I went to basic training with, it didn't turn out that way. I went to basic training in 1988 and this album came out just prior to that in the end of the summer of 1987. We wrote "gods of war" on our helmets like Matthew Modine had on his helmet in FULL METAL JACKET as others in Vietnam conflict surely did in real life. But, our use of its was that in hopes we too would become superior over any enemy of America as we had all hoped to do at that point over communism. Terrorism as a problem for America was just in its infancy stage. Yet, we had a great president to set a precedent to deal with it(no pun intended in the wordplay there). Thank GOD we did have Ronald Reagan. I think Def Leppard's producer Robert "Mutt" Lange(who now produces and is married to Shania Twain) probably added the sound bytes as his own idea so as to do exactly as the song is intended to do, incite a hatred yet a respect for war in this new fashion of terrorism [to us young Americans anyway for whom he was trying to marketize to] as the world was dealing with in its view of Omar Qaddafi. {{just a sidenote: if you listen to any of Shania Twain's music since Lange has been producing her albums, you can identify Def Leppardish sound distinctly on all tracks pretty much instantly.}} Oh, by the way, I'm writing this while on military duty in Iraq just north of Baghdad in Al Taji, at US Army military base CAMP COOKE. I don't actually listen to rock music anymore but thought I'd look up the lyrics to this song to try and find what speeches it was in which Ronald Reagan made the statements about dealing with terrorism. It was a pretty neat effect in the song to use the speeches and special effects of helicopters and booms and machine gun fire to get the blood going and mind thinking through the adrenal rush the song incited in me, as a teenager who as many soldiers join the military dream of, to get me to join the military and fight our enemies in the world. If only Lange and the Leps new. I'm sure they'd've left the song off the album. It was my favorite for sure. I was introduced to Def Leppard while at basic training. I'd never heard them before then. So, you see the impact of those lyrics are important to this song. You must find out and include them. It's important.

..This begs for some background music. Something cheery, like maybe the Cars' "Hello Again." Or maybe something a little darker. "Enter Sandman"...

How about Bobby McFerrin's little diddy:

Here is a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don't worry be happy

In every life we have some trouble

When you worry you make it double

Don't worry, be happy......

Yeah I saw a show on that. An original German design rolled into the field in almost no time. Incredible GPS guided artillery. Was thinking that the bad guys lost one of their only few advantages of urban environment to hide in. Good riddance scumbags. No virgins for you, only 20 foot tall demons with pig heads to play with and them demons are bored.
