" The joint force used "superior fire and manoeuvre techniques and lethal close air support to kill" "

I sure am having a hard time trying to figure out how to counter this resurgent tactic.

I kinda think they maybe should just go ahead with the new plan.

I just found an article in the Tehran Times (7/27/06) that said an MNF spokesperson reported 600 Taliban have been killed since 7/1. I'm taking them at their word and I just added 368 more to the counter!

Do you think I should add Lebanon and beyond?

You could create a Lebanon piece and an other piece to capture all the onesy twosies around the globe (africa, etc...)

Job well done by our troops and free Afghan forces.

One of the good guys.

No more Jihad for this crumb.

Thank you. I felt they were rather large to post.

These 'smaller' ones are also very recent shots from Afghanistan.

I am no positive but it could be an M4.

The first one below is the M4 carbine with older style M203 40mm grenade launcher. Buttstock is fully collapsed.

The second image below is an M4A1 carbine with RIS-mounted forward hand-grip and the AN-PVS4 night vision sight.

That is so correct.

US troops, IDF, UK, Aussie, coupled with all our others allies in the counter jihadic wars are the front line defense against the anti-Western barbaric horde.

Below, Damascus, possibly the next target centering on the enemy's den of jihad exportation.

Syrian and Lebanese demonstrators carry pictures of Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during a protest against Israeli air strikes, in front of the U.N. office in Damascus July 30th, 2006.
