#6 It's interesting that, in MSM World, Afghanistan is the one place on earth not affected by global warming. The Arctic Ocean is gonna be warmer than bath water any day now, but we'll always dread the brutal Afghan winter.

#7 That's "brutal Afghan winter," not "dreaded."

#9 Where did they scatter to? Local "housing", or are they (hopefully) left out in the cold of the Brutal Afghan Winter(TM)?

And next time, I hope they include more gory details of the bad guys getting it. Were they dispersed and got more dispersed? Or were they in one camp and they got scared an ran away with a bit of sniper fire? It sounds like there were several small camps and they got hounded until they all scattered.

#10 Damn Gorb,

I was thinking they scattered hundreds of fighters like an arm over here, and a leg over there, and a couple heads up on that rock and......

Now THAT'S scattered.

#12 A little assisted suicide for the suicide bombers in training? I like it. I hope they called the SF team "Team Kevorkian".
