#1 Had a feeling something big had happened after 4 Americans killed in a firefight.

#2 Must be the start of the dreaded "fall offensive". I see its going about as well as the summer and spring offensive for the Taliwhackers. Condolences and undying gratitude to our soldiers and their families who sacrificed for this.

#3 Talibanis have no built up defense systems, and limited cover. They wouldn't exist if pro-Taliban mosques were flattened. What kind of "occupation" permits occupied peoples to incite murder of their military commanders?

#4 An 18:1 ratio isn't high enough for me. I want to see a zero in our column, and if that requires stand-off and/or unconventional weapons, well I'll not lose any sleep over them.

Lest we forget, some Taliban executions... and perhaps the most infamous, Zarmeena.

#6 The only way to really shut down the tallibaby offensive is to hit them where they live - in Pakistan. Until then, it's the same old NVA/ARVN situation. I thought we said "Never Again"...
