AMERICAN and British troops poised to assault the Taliban stronghold of Marjah have begun targeting insurgent leaders for assassination.
Military sources said special forces had been infiltrating the town on “kinetic” missions — jargon for armed attacks. “Special forces guys have been going in on assassination missions with the aim of decapitating the Taliban force,” one said.
At the British base of Camp Bastion and the adjoining Camp Leatherneck, the US marine base, troops and munitions have been airlifted in by night to avoid enemy rockets. It is clear that international forces are on the brink of a big battle. All yesterday morning, the thud-thud-thud of heavy machineguns and the crump of mortars filled the air.
In a break from traditional military secrecy, American, British and Afghan commanders have announced that Marjah, the last town in Helmand under Taliban control, will be attacked.

Go Marines. I hope they don’t lose a man.
Not good.
US Forces victories will put a cramp in Obama’s surrender & reparations plans.
Now if only the Taliban weren’t Muslims, he would stand against them. Too bad not white conservative Christians...Big O would have Big Sis nuke them immediately.
“Now if only the Taliban weren’t Muslims, he would stand against them.”
Just as Slick Willy “I Sold Missile Guidance Technology to the ChiComs” Clinton did during the Kosovo/Serbian situation. He bombed the Christians to help the Islamofascists. Thanks, traitor. At least they waited until you were out of office to attack the US directly, so you got what you wanted.
I’m sure it will be a real surprise to the Taliban since we’ve been telling the press about it for a couple weeks now.
..... Sounds like the Phoenix Program is back in play. Good.
May they be very very successful, and may God watch over them and bring them home safely.
(( ping ))
...to the GOOD STUFF!
Perhaps we could rent a small airplane and advertise this in certain Taliban strongholds. Sort of like restaurants do in Myrtle Beach.

Happy to report our Marine Special Ops son has returned from the AfPak theatre. He would have made this life a career, were it not for the great dear leader we have. Bet they are going to lose a lot of troops with DODT, and Obama BS.

But are they giving them their Miranda rights??

I hope this article is for real.
As I said after I heard about Obama’s soft-stance approach to terrorists:
“NO PRISONERS!!!!!”

May every living thing that moves be sent to islamic Hell.

There are no Special Forces assassins. Special Forces Snipers - yes. Assassins - no.
God bless and be with our men and women....
One question, why are they letting us know this? I mean since we know I would think they (Taliban) know which I would think puts our special forces in danger....
What’s with the use of “assassins”? =.=
