#1 Taleban threatens major offensive in Afghanistan

Good plan! Since the last one was such a smashing success.

#2 Since we've been invited to attend, I think it's only polite to take them up on it.

*happy sigh* Green Steve, you are truly a gentleman!

#3 Thank you, milady. I believe one should follow the rules of common courtesy. Now, if you will excuse me, I must pen a RSVP to Mr. Hanif on a JDAM.

#4 The Spring and Summer Offensives have been smashing failures, so I presume this is an early rendition of the vaunted Fall Offensive?

#6 We're getting closer and closer to where a Buff with a full load of conventional weapons would be an asset. Get one staged over Afghanistan, identify an infiltration route being used, and let 'er go. There is nothing quite as impressive as having about 55,000 pounds of high explosives go off in one continuing rumble. I'm especially sure it would "impress" those in the target zone.
