It's good that western troops get real, live fire exercises. You can't buy this kind of training.

I think this is really good news. There abandoning Iraq for Afghanistan. We'll get some really decent kills there.
Nice point..
Bad move on their part. I suspect that the foreign fighters will have as much help from the local Afghanis as the Russians did.
Yes and also an end (for the most part) of the urban environment. We can let the Global Hawks spot them and then shake and bake.
It would seem as if the countries surrounding Trash-can-istan should be held as somewhat responsible for these people trekking overland to fight our troops.
Are these foreign fighters airlifted there?
Looks like the Club Gitmo publicity blitz is finally paying off....
well, 2c worth, you have millions or thousands, or hundreths of jihadists in paki land, then there is iran, they are im sure helping out
so who know its a smorgus board
Foreign fighters in Iraq are finding increasing resentment from the local populace ... which makes it very difficult to operate. Afghanistan, with a smaller population and more rural in nature makes targeting these raghead scumbags that much easier.
Certainly less probability of "blowback" using Daisy Cutters in rural Afghanistan than in downtown Baghdad.
"HUNDREDS of foreign Islamic fighters are gathering..."
Their D-Day Invasion includes "hundreds" of fighters. Hope they have the audacity to do a meet and greet. One daisy cutter ought to finish them off.

Where is "there"?
Whoops! Should be "They're" (Hey, it's Friday)

Dang, you talk good english!
Afghanistan.
Land of the MOAB!
The Flypaper Doctrine.
You have a nebulous underground group of fanatics that are difficult to identify and locate. They can predictably be relied on, however, to throw themselves into certain death under certain circumstances. Create those circumstances and they will come to you.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it works like gangbusters. With Iraq and Afghanistan, we have a couple of wonderfully effective bug zappers.
I want 'em all. I utterly reject the notion that we are "creating" more terrorists by killing them in OIF and OEF. If there's somebody out there just "teetering" on the verge of extremism and all it takes is American presence in that part of the world to push him over the edge to jihad... I want him too.
That there is an unlimited number of them waiting in line to decide to join the jihad is a myth.
