#1 were unable to enter due to the high volume of insurgent fire

Bet that dropped off real quick after the JDAM hit.

#2 the Marines employed precision-guided ordnance to destroy the building

Pretty descriptive, but it really doesn't top the "aerial precision fire was used to mitigate the threat" from a few weeks ago.

#3 How about "A guided, aerially-employed deconstruction device provided minimal collateral unintentionality, while insuring timely ingress to the vicinity to recover anyone who might require assistance."

#5 What I liked was 'attacked (from) a residential structure ... destroy(ed) the building.' Apply the same rules to mosques and cut out the delay and I'll be satisfied.

#7 "...were attacked with small arms fire by insurgents positioned in a residential structure."

Makes one yearn for the days of Air Marshal Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris and area-bombing!
