Amen!
As an aside, I just heard Morton Kondracke on FOX news saying that the Democrats are happy that Bush is in charge now NOT because it is him, but because of his Defense team! Morton agreed with that.
They just don't get it, and never will, because of course, they don't want to.

"The Afghans wouldn't look fondly on foreigners with guns ruling them," Mr. Brahimi said. Who would?

Mr. Brahimi said no group should be excluded from an Afghan transitional authority, especially since the current armed factions did not represent the vast majority of Afghan people.
Good post Jokey.
Mr Brahimi should be corrected: Two groups will be excluded - the UN and the Taliban.

"Strike by Army Rangers Masked Raid by Elite Unit, Official Says" Should probably have read "Strike by Army Rangers Masked Raid by ANOTHER Elite Unit"!!!

In the meantime we can be sure that whatever our men are up to it is bringing gigantic loads of grief to the enemy.

"The Afghans wouldn't look fondly on foreigners with guns ruling them," Mr. Brahimi said. Hmmmm... didn't seem to hinder OBL- a Saudi who is guarded by Arab troops- none of whom are Afghani.
To: The Raven
I'm guessing whatever they were looking for...they found. Let's say... something that cannot be seen by satelite photos.
As Dubya says, "we are slowly but surely circling the enemy." Sooner or later they will have to come out of their caves.

I think it is note worthy that all the reports that we are receiving are from action around the cities. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what is happening up in the mountain caves where Mr. Osama is hiding? Hmmmm?

This is not unexpected. I would look for a number of other surprises like this -- this kind of asymmetrical warfare utilizes a lot of misdirection. I have thought all along that all the talk about "extraction" of the units following the action was misdirection as well. No bigger surprise than coming out of your hole after "extraction" to find that things simply aren't as they seem.
To: blam
I've heard all day the Taliban is saying, "The Americans are too soft. They won't come in on the ground and fight them".
They are begging us to fight on their terms so they can ambush us.......Ain't gonna happen!

They also want to see a BIG target, thus the call to send 100,000 troops "so it'll be a fair fight". Why give them a big target when we can kill them all with 1,000 troops using this style of warfare?
To: jokemoke
But the covert action aimed at the Taliban leadership was shrouded from view. It may still be under way or could resume soon, spurred by intelligence gathered from the overnight raid or in anticipation of movement or other responses by the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the aftermath of the attacks.My guess is, in attacking the garrison, the Rangers were able to detect responses to the raid. Perhaps also, they could locate documents which would provide further intelligence. Very Well Done Soldiers!

ANOTHER Elite Unit And the Rangers are fighting a little more "elite" than usual -- given that this is long-overdue payback.
To: jokemoke
I dont want to know what they're doing!
I want results, not fodder for some left-wing journos.
