Get Me A Rewrite

The headline reads that "Insurgents Fight Back in Western Iraq," but the text of the article indicates that more than 100 insurgents have been killed in fighting, and that while the US has suffered casualties, the bulk of those killed and wounded are the terrorists, not the US or Iraqi forces.

So, how about a rewrite of the headline stating:
US Forces On Offensive; Border Towns Cleared of Terrorists In Heavy Fighting

Marines fought house-to-house Monday against dozens of well-armed insurgents firing at them from balconies, rooftops and sandbagged bunkers in the border town of Obeidi and surrounding villages, the Los Angeles Times reported.

My headline would be accurate, fair, and properly state the facts. The insurgents aren't fighting back; they're fighting for their very lives. The US has tracked them down and the terrorists' only choice is to fight or die (they can't well give up as they've vowed to never be captured alive according to their own press releases).

Perhaps the media is hoping for another Fallujah? Except the result will be the same - hundreds of terrorists dead, and an area of Iraq cleared of the enemy element.
