Is this the area Tora Bora is located in??

Wasn't this the same "allies" that helped Al-Qeada escape across the border.....

Expert on Fox just said the 101st has been called in and are assualting the area now....

We hit the mother lode with this engagement...

All those times the Afghan's let the Taliban go home just came home to roost...

If we flushed out a force that big, it shouldn't be too diffiuclt to pulverize them again with daisy cutter drops and B-52 strikes. We've been outnumbered the entire time we've been there. This time we went in more of a set-piece fashion and found out they still have some fight left. Time to go back to the methods worked or learn some new tricks.

Someone mentioned that this is what we get for letting the warlords release their prisoners. Could be. I say let's not mess around this time. Let's finish them off. They had their chance.

But here's my question: Just how many of these people do they have left? After throwing what we had at them in December, I'm a little surprised they still have this much fight. Are the losses being replaced by Muslim fighters from other parts of the Islamic world?
