Terrorists Who Suck

This isn't so much a "Terrorists Who Suck" post as it is a US Forces Kick Butt. We should kick the press out for a month and we could end this thing. Of course, FrankJ has a good idea on how we should do these things in the future. Check him out.

Description:
TIKRIT, Iraq – Coalition air and ground forces combined to kill 14 insurgents and wound two at approximately 2 a.m. Thursday after the individuals engaged a coalition convoy with small arms fire southwest of Samarra.
The enemy attack resulted in no coalition force casualties.
While the insurgents fled in trucks and motorcycles, Task Force Lightning attack helicopters tracked them for several miles and used two guided bombs to destroy one of the vehicles. Subsequently, helicopters and strike aircraft engaged the remaining vehicles, killing or wounding all of the insurgents.
Upon further investigation of the site, Task Force Lightning Soldiers discovered more than 1,500 rounds of small arms ammunition and various semi-automatic machine guns including six AK-47s, two heavy machineguns, two destroyed motorcycles with homemade machine gun mounts and one rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
“The coalition forces’ swift action prevented insurgents from escaping and continuing their pattern of violence against coalition forces and innocent Iraqis,” said Col. Gary Patton, Chief of Staff, Task Force Lightning.
