Afghanistan
US pulls troops back from Shah-i-Kot
2002-03-10
  • In a series of dramatic, rapid-fire developments in the biggest battle of the five-month-old Afghan campaign, 400 of 1,200 troops in the area were being withdrawn as part of a repositioning exercise. "We are repositioning," said Major Brian Hilferty. "Operation Anaconda continues," he said, referring to the code name for the eight-day-old offensive that has cost eight U.S. lives since it began just over a week ago.
    That means they're getting our guys out of the way of the Pashtun "allied" forces. It may also mean they're going to "modify targeting" a little, especially if they have indications the faithless bastards are about to change sides again.
