THE BAD GUYS COME OUT TO DIE:

The enemy had earlier learned that, to move around, they had to do so without carrying weapons and in small groups. But this made carrying out attacks more time-consuming. When using those tactics, the AH-64s caught an armed group in the open about once every two weeks. But in the last two weeks of March, the gunships found more targets than they had over the past 13 weeks.

The Sunni Arab and al Qaeda terror networks in northern Iraq have been under a lot of pressure these the past few months. These new desperation tactics, apparently to try and increase the number of attacks dramatically, failed. And the main reason was that you can’t hustle around carrying guns, day or night, while the AH-64s are up there.

There seem to be efforts to try and create a “Terrorist Tet” to influence U.S. politics. So far, they haven’t worked tremendously well.
