So Taliban militants, who rely on poor communication in rural areas, have recently been attacking cell phone facilities and confiscating phones, stripping locals of the chance to alert U.S. soldiers to their movements.

Surround the cellphone facilities with a million pigs!

But Taliban combat units ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred armed men are issued satellite phones, giving them a key tactical advantage.

This is just a silly statement.

1. Who do you think owns, operates and designed these satellites and phones? (hint - NOT afghan goat herders). And who do you think can tap into them/cut them off at any time?

2. And do you think the good guys can't give out satellite phones too?

Five Times A Day,24/7,1.5 Billion Muslims Pray:

“Praise belongs to Allah,Lord of the Worlds,
The Compassionate,the Merciful,
King of the Day of Judgement.
‘Tis Thee we worship and Thee we ask for help.
Guide us in the straight path,the path of those whom Thou hast favored,
NOT THE PATH OF THOSE WHO INCUR THINE ANGER NOR OF THOSE WHO GO ASTRAY!”

You infidels are already damned,so why don’t you just DIE!

Whatever happened to the traveling band of Trac phone buyers? Trac phones are NOT traceable!

I will not sleep safer tonight!

If I were the military, I'd be praying some bonehead would be dumb enough to suddenly fire up a satphone in a remote Afghan village. You might as well take out an ad in Stars and Stripes saying, "Here we are, come kill us!"

Well I dunno about the Taliban, but it’s not like terrorists don’t use cell phones at all. The Saudis arrested some guy with a message on his phone from al-Zawahiri.

So are all the Marines going to start dressing like Test Man?
