About U.S. 1,000 troops go into Afghanistan.

Maybe I'm ignorant, or not reading this correctly. What is the significance of this statement? We've had a ton of troops in Afghanistan, and they've been going after Al Quaeda, for a long time. What is different about this particular information sparse post that everybody is cheering about?

We basically gave up on Afghanistan and finding Osama (or at least I think so).

While it is difficult to imagine a 1000 man operation called a "raid", if they cranked up that many guys, there had to be a very specific target they were going after.

Good Hunting.

The statement below. It is a big operation. You don't do those unless something BIG is up.

"It was the largest U.S. military operation in Afghanistan since Operation Anaconda just over a year ago."

but we were told we can't handle a two front war. The folks that undermine America's ability should be dealt with.
