This is pure horsesh*t.

Where did the Tallywhackers get five thousand guys and 450 apcs? What happens to five thousand Tallywhackers and 450 apcs when the Spectre gets on station?

Drudge be reading too much DEBKA!

Stop drinking the bong water, Matt.

A RENEGADE army of 5,000 Taleban soldiers with 450 tanks, armoured carriers and pick-up trucks is locked in a tense stand-off with American special forces in Afghanistan. That would be 1 tank(T-55) 2armoured carriers(BMPs) and 448 pickup trucks(with bad tires, and burning oil)

Ask yourself the following questions when evaluating this report:

1. Do you think it likely that the Taliban has 450 AFV's (that's Tanks and Armored Infantry Carriers) left after all the bombing?

2. If you answer 'yes' to question 1, do you then think it possible that they could concentrate those remaining forces under the noses of US Spec Ops, spy satellites, Predators, etc.?

3. OK with this so far? OK. After the concentration has been completed, how much fuel do you think these AFV's have left to accomplish anything of value?

This is the kind of report that gets discounted immediately by any intel officer because it just doesn't fit with what we already know.
