Emptying the camp can either indicate major offensive operation underway or two, a fear of a military strike (either preemptive or retaliatory). The Taliban have had their clocks cleaned in combat in Afghanistan, so the trainees could simply be deployed trying to reinforce the units there until winter returns. Definitely something to keep one’s ears to the ground on. They learned quickly that if we are hit, we can and most likely will, strike their bases in Pakistan, irregardless of Musharraf.
Thank for that explanation Godzilla.
Follow-up on the empty camps. Apparently the intel was SHARED with Pakistan. An internal spy for Taliban must have gotten the info to the Tali. Must have been VERY targetable info. I suspect that they have gone to ground until situation changes and they can reoccupy again.
