#1 The Taliban have been developing tactics to deal with the air power, but these usually involves ditching the weapons and dispersing.

What they fail to grasp is that the tactic is what they need to do permanently. Death, Mother Nature's way of telling you to slow down.

#2 The Taliban can take an aspirin and call me in the morning for all the good it does them, but it still won't change their combat effectiveness.
