Until recently the taliban and the drug lords have discovered that they cannot stand up to the US and NATO forces directly. So they've trying the same tactics as was used in Iraq. Not surprising since according to what I've read the many of the taliban's operational cadre went over to Iraq for training over the last 3 years. It was only recently that they've again been trying to attack forward bases, with that recent mostly successful assault on that US base in one of the eastern provinces. Perhaps there should be an equivalant to the surge in Afghanistan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:264245 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
