#1 The operation was considered a success as no one was killed or seriously injured in spite of a 17-hour exchange of gunfire in a highly populated area of Jeddah.

"The A Team" on the tube over there?
"Ah pity da fool who actually hits somebody in a 17 hour gun battle!"

#2 Al-Shamrani added that the building targeted was unregistered at the local office of the umda. We have more than 700 houses registered to both Saudis and non-Saudis.

So that does mean that some terrs could be Amish?

#4 As I recall the "A" Team never hit anything but tires either.
Which always exploded with a yellow flash and huge puff of dust when hit.
Meanwhile the bad guys (Who had real guns) always surrendered immediately.
Poor, Poor Television, McGuiver stunk too, I happen to know that everything he concocted would NOT work as shown.

Runaway PCism at it's worst.
