I just fail to see how they could be ambushed with Ac-130 gunships amd attack helicopters orbiting the place. This doesm't pass the smell test. I see how they could meet fierce opposition but ambushed?

Another reason that this smells like a overblown version of what really happened; where are the Taliban claims of victory. It is not credible that the loudmouth Taliban would not have claimed "to have routed the infidels" if that had indeed been the case.

Of course they could be embarassed that Allah didn't come to their aid and set the Delta Force's hair on fire. Its a tough call to know whats really going on.

One thing is certain - Hersh needs to button his lip. If Franks isn't up to the job - Rumsfelt will dump him in a minute!! Thats the one guy (Rumsfelt) that I trust in this whole deal.

Happy anniversary...yep, I don't buy the bit, either. Light arms, RPG and mortar fire...not the most accurate type of assault, and it would've shown up real good to the boys in the AC-130. I don't doubt they would take casualties but this makes no sense.
