KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- The guns and ammunition were expected. The poster of New York's Twin Towers set against Afghan mountains was not.

U.S. Marines who joined elite Navy SEALS in searching al-Qaida caves said Saturday they made some unsettling discoveries: a photo of President Bush with blood running down his face and another of Osama bin Laden holding a Kalashnikov rifle and marked with the words "Leader of Peace."

Now, is there some reason that, after they get thru sniffing around all these woodchuck holes and tunnels and gathering up all the valuable goodies they seek, that they cannot fill those woodchuck holes with beaucoup explosives and simply level the whole freakin' works? It needs doin'.

Chilling!

I suggest that we send in the ACLU ahead of the SEALS and Marines, along with a battalion of liberals leading the way to apolgize for the inhuman treatment we are giving the bstrds.

I thought this was an interesting line from the article:

"It didn't look like a cave. Someone put some time into this place," said Sgt. Charles Calfee, 28, of Dublin, Va. "It reminded me of the Flintstones."

Thjis has got to be the Zawar Kili Cave complex...

I am convinced this is where Bin Laden was hiding while we bombed Tora Bora back to the stone age...

The comment about the photo of the President is what gave me a shiver.....could they be planning something??

Personally I like the idea of secretly lacing those caves with anthrax. Then just wait for the Talibs go back and use them again.

September 11th scrawled on the walls made my skin crawl. Do you think bin Laden is dead? I don't.

Bin Laden isnt dead...

But he wants the world to think he is...

Actually, I hate the idea of having to destroy their country. I want to obliterate every cave there ... but many of them have been there for centuries!

Osama is evil incarnate. And WHERE is Mullah Omar?

[Dog]

Mullah Omar is with Osama..

That's what I think too.

They found flour, sugar, corn meal and eggs, which the U.S. soldiers baked into bread because they were short of rations for the first few days of their search.

Ha! See, your momma told you this knowledge would come in handy some day...

"The Marines said it was clear that those who hid in the caves left in a hurry. They found flour, sugar, corn meal and eggs, which the U.S. soldiers baked into bread because they were short of rations for the first few days of their search."

Ha ha .. U.S. forces are literally eating the Taliban's lunch!
Any other food found should go to feed the Afghan refugees.
