| You know the sound a slot machine makes when it jackpots? Imagine you hear it. Coalition Forces attack helicopters engaged and killed 17 al-Qaeda gunmen southwest of Khalis, Friday. Iraqi police were conducting security operations in and around the village when Coalition attack helicopters from the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and ground forces from 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, observed more than 15 armed men attempting to circumvent the IPs and infiltrate the village. The attack helicopters, armed with missiles, engaged and killed 17 al-Qaeda gunmen and destroyed the vehicle they were using. |

| #1 killed 17 al-Qaeda gunmen and destroyed the vehicle they were using I'm picturing 17 guys stuffed into a VW Bug, like the clowns from the Ringling Brothers circus. |
