#4
... the growing pro-India presence along the Afghani border areas with Pakistan

What's this all about?

#5 "the Taliban will attempt to retake the major cities in Afghanistan that they held before being ousted by the US in late 2001"."

-they must've had one helluva poppy season, their delusions of grandeur are breath-taking.

-I'm glad the word "attempt" was used, 'cuz that's about all it's gonna be.

#6 Think we have plans too. Perhaps there will be a meeting battle.

#7 The resistance under a new commander is regrouping in the remote Khyber Agency region

we should thank 'em for getting together. It makes the strafing and bombing runs so much easier.

#9 wow exciting news! hopefully will tie in with the timing of the Allies spring offensive,me-thinks the taliban know times running out for them what with Musharaf turning against al-Qaeda. Maybe this will be the talibans last stand

#10 JS UK - I wish, bro, but nawwww - the leadership, such that it is, will be far far away... at least until Pakiwakiland is no longer a sanctuary, which prolly won't be until it's a smokin' hole. Hmmm. glow-in-the-dark Taliban. That's be a real bitch of a burden since we like playing at night!

#11 I think it's real nice of the Taliban to fertilize the poppy fields of Afghanistan with their corpses. All it's gonna take is a single tell-tale going off, and a couple of AC-130's getting airborne. After that, all that's left is the ~~flushing~~ clean-up.

#13 So will this be the actual "final battle" or the final battle before the final battle before the final battle, etc. etc.? I suppose it depends on how bad they get their ass kicked.
