If they've discovered something very important, it's not all that bright to shout it from the rooftops, especially when there's no need to do it.

While other Taliban command posts were bombed during U.S. strikes on Afghanistan that began on October 7, this one was untouched by the bombardment and viewed by the U.S. military as a potential stash of intelligence.

So, if this is correct, what our people have been doing is purposefully leaving certain areas untouched so that the Taliban will concentrate there because they view those areas as 'sanctuaries'.

The writing is on the wall. These Fu---rs are Toast! I hope we don't stop until any possible terrorist group or state is removed.

U.S. claims intelligence coup

Is that another way of saying they didn't bring back any scalps?

"We gathered up some intelligence, some items, and we're going to evaluate that," he said.

I have to think that there's at least one "who" among the items.

" "We are eagerly awaiting the American troops to land on our soil, where we will deal with them in our own way," said Haqqani, a veteran mujahideen, or holy warrior. "

Beware of what you may wish for. Oh, and by the way, just how good are holy warriors if they are vaporized? Seems you might have a problem or two using a melted AK-47 IMHO.

I believe the thought that we can insert troops into their stronghold when we want to is psychologically crushing to them and I believe that was the intent of the action.
