#1 Well-trained and heavily armed Taliban withdraw from the village but were tracked by powerful aerial surveillance systems tracked them for an hour until two American A10 ground attack aircraft moved in.

Died tired. Good.

#3 Let's see. 600 rounds of 30mm equals, uh...

#4 gotta love Warthogs. I hope they didn't die too quickly to feel the fear and pain of Allah forsaking them....but I'm sure they did

#6 When I saw the headline, I thought it was going to be an article about the ties between the administration and the Hamas front, CAIR.
