Vaporised/Sent to Another Dimension/Exorcised/Burried in real deep graves. Disguised as rocks. Shrunk so small the TV crews can't see them. I offer all these suggestions and more to the Pentagon press office.

Plus some dead Afghans as well. Given that they took a couple of helicopters out with small arms fire, I think the US might just have underestimated these guys. I mean could those mean, bad, shades wrapped, Special Forces do that? The ones with no surname, cos they're like elite dude. Yeah, elite like a straight to video movie starring Belgian, steroid abusers.
Still it is a big blow against organised terrorism, now that they're fighting Mujhadeen and Chechean rebels. Yessire.
