A surprisingly good article, considering the source.

This time the aircraft would not be dropping bombs. They would be dropping highly trained, heavily armed men.

What? No women?

Quick, somebody put Patsy Schroeder on the air to whine and simper...

Very nice, our guys took their symbol of invicibility in about 10 minutes. It may be getting through that they are not dealing with unhappy Soviet conscripts this time.

does anyone but me find the irony absolutely delicious -- it was bin laden's people who set up our guys in somalia. and our guys were rangers.

it's only appropriate that when we demonstrate that we can play that game, too, the rangers draw first blood.

Hey there Blam!

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION!! It is indeed refreshing to shed the "rags" of victimhood, and go on the offensive. Thanks for posting a great article.

Excellent article. One of the most well written accounts I've seen so far. The results of this operation were made possible because our guys WANT to do this, not because they are forced to.

The Taliban have been calling our troops soft and creatures of comfort with no stomach to engage them in battle. Our troops know why they are there and are filled with a "terrible resolve". The Taliban will soon know the true meaning of pain and suffering.

It's only fitting that the Army Rangers were given first crack at Al-Qaida and Bin Laden after what was done to them in Somalia.

Job well done, Rangers!!

Hooaah - from a Marine!!

The Taliban yesterday said they had repulsed the attack and suffered no losses. But unofficial sources in Pakistan said the Taliban 'took a mauling', leaving more than 20 fighters dead.

They'll be asking for a truce again tomorrow!

Old Omar has to be running out of clean diapers, first a Cruise Missle to his house, next his Chevy Suburban, now his mountain cottage. Bwahahahah, hope his sitting in some cave somewhere, shell shocked, hungry, crapping in a hole and wiping his butt with his finger. Run, rabbit, run!! May you suffer the pain of all 6000 American victims, and your death be slow and agonizing.

The tone was mocking and brutal as the signals cut into local frequencies with jamming equipment. The words were aimed at the Taliban fighters below, huddled over radio sets. 'You are condemned. Did you know that? The instant the terrorists you support took over our planes, you sentenced yourself to death,' they said. The war, barely two weeks old, was entering a bloody and dangerous new phase.

This is exactly how it should be. Screw any talks of amnesty and clemency for the Taliban that decide to defect. Anybody that is willing to defect could very well switch sides again. We have to treat them like the cockroaches that they are. Our only priority should be to kill them, nothing more and nothing less.

This was an excellent raid and the psychological effect had to be devastating for the Taliban. A lightning-quick raid with maximum shock force in a place that was thought to be totally safe is exactly what is needed to put total fear into the Taliban. The last thing that we need is air raids without ground troops out of fear of casualties. I wonder if they're still swelling their chests while saying 'Bring it on' to our ground forces? If that is what the bastards want, we will oblige them.

May God have mercy on their souls because our Special Forces won't!!
