Those old media vaunted spring/summer/fall/winter taliban offensives just never seemed to materialize;)

Merry Chritmas

Thanks for the link. The statistics, 2000 Taliban, 50 killed, remind me of the 2001 war. We were helping the Northern alliance through advisors overthrow the Taliban. Everyone critisized the slow progress (over two weeks). They did not fight like we did. They would battle and the one who was losing would slip away.

Then we brought in air strikes. We pinned the Taliban army in place and obliterated them. This was totally new to them. The Taliban government soon collapsed.

The Jim Lehrer News Hour had a long discussion Monday night about how we are losing in Afghanistan.

Now that the surge is working in Iraq, they are grasping at straws to find a place, somewhere on earth, where US soldiers are losing a battle, even if they have to make up stories themselves.

And now, with Musa Qala falling out of the hands of the loved-by-media Taliban, reporters everywhere are falling into deep mourning.

You are right once again.

It is good news that the town has been retaken, sad that we lost good men doing so.
