Bumpin' that one, thank God for a Supreme Court that follows the law and prevents election theft. I shudder to think what Gore would be doing.

A weeklong bombing campaign with B52s?

That's a great way for America to start the week. Enjoy the fireworks, Osama.

". I shudder to think what Gore would be doing"

To be "Fair And Balanced" I am also glad the John Mccain didnt get to be president.. Cant imagine what that looney tune would have done.

1 night of bombings and the little raghead whiners are already crying,,,,,,,day and night starts very soon.....have fun civilian killing cowards

[Prodigal Son]

The first attacks also apparently devastated a concentration of Taliban tanks and armored vehicles near Mazar-i-Sharif

Idiots. Maybe we can get them to concentrate their infantry as well.

I had to chuckle when I read that the entire Taliban Air Force was wiped out in the first raid.
Taliban Air Force?!! I never knew such a thing existed. Well, now it doesn't!

LOL!

Happy days and good bombing for the crews of the B-2 from Diego Garcia more missions and the crew doesn't get fatigued by long flights.

A wave of B-52 bombers dropped streams of huge unguided bombs across several training camps in the Baghlan Province north of Kabul

Where is that beautiful pic? Some body post it! Quick!!

It is funny. Remember- these are the "mighty warriors that vanquished the Soviets". I'd say they're just looking mighty inept so far. Time to show 'em how a real nation wages war.

[Ymani Cricket]

A few old MIG-29s. If Afghanistan's Ariana Airways (the worst service in the world) are any indication, the MIGs need(ed) servicing badly. I guess they can go to the junk yard now. They used the MIGs, I believe, against the Iranian Shi'ite minority a few years ago, so they DO know how to fly them, for what it's worth. They would be no match for OUR guys. The Taliban would probably get their beards stuck in something and crash.

[Ymani Cricket]

They didn't beat the Soviets without our help, so I'd say we'd be the ones who know best how to fight them.

[Delta 21]

The B-52's carried payloads of 500-pound gravity bombs, called Mark-82, which are more traditional explosives intended to kill massed troops, to destroy tanks or other weapons or to level structures like those found at military training camps or to gut airstrips.

The B-2's unloaded their satellite- guided bombs, called Joint Direct Attack Munitions, used against targets that must be demolished with precision

Initially, the terrorists may burrow deeper into caves and other entrenched hiding places.
Our military action is also designed to clear the way for sustained, comprehensive and relentless operations to drive them out and bring them to justice.
President George W. Bush

You better dig deep, Osama. We are coming after you!
