If we attacked Kabul with helicopter gunships, which have a limited comabt radius, WHICH IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, then you can figure out that we have a ground presence in Afghanistan to field and support those gunships.

We ARE bringing this battle to them.

Bin Laden has brought so much peace and happiness to the Talibans. Let's wash their streets with their filthy blood.

To me....helicopter warfare means that we are very confident that the Taliban have no capacity to shoot them out of the sky. I am sure we are bing careful, but there is no way we would have used helicopters in warfare a month ago. Our confidence is gaining!

It's not just helicopers..............

Elite Marine unit makes first strikes on Taliban

By César G. Soriano, USA TODAY

ABOARD THE USS PELELIU — After weeks of sailing in circles off the coast of Pakistan, the U.S. Marine Corps finally picked a public fight with the Taliban. AV-8B Harrier jets were used in combat in Operation Enduring Freedom on Saturday. It was the first time such missions have been acknowledged by the Marines.

If true..and if the reports of Harriers now droping bombs, looks like we are starting to really go after them. If we can keep it up...and we can...winter is going to really be bad for them.

I wonder, if the snows come, will Taliban troops be stuck in their positions without a way to retreat? I also wonder if they will be trapped from escaping to the caves...? If so, it's a nice strategy.
