7,000 to 10,000 new recruits who brought their own weapons. Yeah, that'll work. Sounds like as good a way as any to rid the world of the radicals.

On ITN tonight, the Brits had a reporter with the Northern Alliance boys. They were watching the bombing, and simultaneously talking to the Taliban boys being bombed. The lines are so far apart that the Taliban guys can duck out of their positions when the planes get close, let the bombs fall, and then run back. They all have been carpet bombed before. All they need is spotters on the next hill to tell them the planes are coming.

As for the Northern Alliance boys, they were saying they were not going forward until we put real troops in. (Not that Rangers aren't real, just that they are not very many of them in theatre).

Keep the Pakistani volunteers coming! They get Paradise, 72 Virgins, and 28 Boys! Everyone else gets Liberty and The World! I just love win-win situations!

As US airstrikes intensified across northern Afghanistan this week...

I hear this every day. When do we reach full intensity?

"...paving the way for ground operations by the opposition United Front""

Read this as "they'll march in after we make it safe for them."

Much like the French. If you haven't read it, "Is Paris Burning?" is a GREAT book.

Patton was hopping mad about the lost time, manpower and materials required so the frogs could march in. He wanted to bypass Paris, but the frogs manipulated his plans using the media. Patton claimed that liberating Paris made the war last several months longer.

Yes, yes, keep the bombs falling, keep the Taliban off guard.
But that is just a side-show.
The real job is to find those caves and annihilate them.
That ought to be a straight-forward job for American technical know-how.
Kill Bin Laden and One-eyed Omar and get out.

Then the real problem can be dealt with. (Iraq)
