I would assume that, at some time, they'd have to come OUT of the cemetery.
I'm not sure what the problem is.
All 190 taliban leaders were lined up like ducks in a row.
That's the casket to the north and the black blur atthe bottom are all of their leaders all lined up in respect.
One well placed munition could have done it. It was a UAV drone that captured the picture. not sure if it was armed or not but the intel guys apparently think they coulda bagged the whole rats nest with one blow, but were told no.
THAT is the problem here.
From the Fox report this morning, they immediately scattered in many small groups after the burial and the moment was lost. This has nothing to do with the rules of the Geneva Convention apparently, because we do attack cemeteries in Iraq if fired on from those sites. This must be a Karzai government rule, and if so, we ought to leave him to the tender mercies of the Taliban and get our troops out of there. You would think that we'd have learned the big lesson of Vietnam: Don't go to war if you don't intend to win. And handcuffing your fighting men with lots of "don't touch" rules makes winning almost impossible and explains the 53,000 dead in Vietnam.
The "problem" is in the Post article:
" Agonizingly, Army officers could do nothing but watch the pictures being fed back from the drone as the Taliban splintered into tiny groups - too small to effectively target with the drone - and headed back to their mountainside hideouts."

Apparently, this drone was more than a camera drone.
