File under: Taliban

#1 Now if he'll just do the same for the Soddy money men in we can make some real progress! We could use the Poles for plausible deniability (like the old Soviets used the Bulgarians).

#2 These CIA missions will reportedly include both paramilitary personnel of the CIA along with U.S. special operations forces detailed to the agency for specific missions. The use of special operations forces allows hunter killer teams to call in air support, if necessary, as they hunt Taliban bomb-makers across the country.

Meanwhile, both tactical and strategic intelligence in support of SOF Foreign Internal Defense (FID) missions in Niger goes lacking.

Has someone has forgotten their mission? Perhaps there is some way the CIA could establish some sort of 'para-intelligence' capability whilst they play unconventional warfare ?

I am old enough to remember (in the not too distant past), the Klingons turning up their noses at military types, even former military personnel within their ranks. My how times have changed.

#3 Why does anybody think that Talbunnies want to negotiate? And if they did that they would honor the deal?

Wishful thinking.

Knock them off faster than they can be trained. Destroy the drug fields, choke off money.

#4 Wet Teams away! Woggut is right. Saud has some rich hunting grounds too.

No worries, they are in charge. Appear to have been in charge for several years.
