#1 As cheering Marines watched, one of the Kiowa Warrior helicopters wheeled and killed the attackers with rockets.

Sounds like the terrorists hardly had time to say "Oh $hit!". I can only hope this shows up on liveleak or something.

#7 Remember that the British Special Forces are roaming the area, too, doing... things. The regular troops hold the attention, while forbidden to act, and issued few bullets. They must be jealous as all get-out.

Go Marines!
