FOX just said we captured 'The Whale's back' in the mountains, the tide has turned and the the last Al Qaeda stragglers are on the run.

Less than 100 Taliban remain in the area, all running now.-ABC News.com also has a breaking bulletin on this now.

Eagles Up- Great job boys, now on to Iraq.

[Reborn]

Great news because of Great Hearts! God bless those who LOVE FREEDOM! Now, as you said, let's go get Saddamn!!!!

[Semper Paratus]

Taliban on the run-- do do do
Taliban on the run!

The superhuman Al Qaeda religious warriors held out for almost a few weeks!

I just listened to Hackworth say these troops really screwed this mission up. What's up with Hack these days...he been spending time with Daschle and had his brains scrambled.

Where are all the nay-sayer news folks who kept talking about how tough these enemy troops were. We kicked butt in about a week. Underscore that! ONE WEEK

[codebreaker]

We will not be denied..

[ZOOKER]

Hope we don't see a repeat of previous "victories", where Al-Q holes up in a civilian village and "negotiates a surrender" (buys time to bug out and regroup).

[SEAL6]

Hack didn't say the troops screwed this up. He said the Generals did. He knows more about what went on there on the ground than the gov will ever tell us. You might want to subscribe to his newsletter. He's the finest warrior/patriot alive today.

The last 100 will just run to Pakistan and wait the others to attack the U.N. or NATO force that might safguard the new Afghan government.

Boys, LINE 'EM UP! STRAFE 'EM DOWN!

I just listened to Hackworth say these troops really screwed this mission up.

I have no idea why Fox continues to put this guy on. Been out of the loop for many years now.

[colorado tanker]

Well done! I'm so glad our magnificent troops could grant so many Al-Qaeda their wish to fight to the death!

[epluribus_2]

The last 100 will just run to Pakistan and...join Osama, Omar, and the thousands of other Al-Qaeda the Pak ISI is coddling while Pervez says he's cracking down. Are we stupid? Pakistan (at least the taliban-like part) is no different from Pre-Infinite Justice Afghanistan and should be treated by the coalition as such by the good guys.

[codebreaker]

We'll leave a few Special Forces behind, just to make it the hunt a bit more sporting..

[SEAL6]

Hack may be a lot of things, but "out of the loop" ain't one of them. He receives thousands of letters and emails every month from the grunts, non-com and Jr officer corp. He knows first hand what's going on where it counts.

[GuillermoX]

Daschle's pissed.

[Mixer]

Yes on to Iraq for sure!

LET'S ROLL

[codebreaker]

This isn't how it is supposed to happen according to Little Tommy and his followers!

The Afghan fighters are supposed to get us into a stalemate and delay the march to Iraq.

Instead we deliver the coup de gras in a week.
