B-52 bombers, Apache gunships, A-10 Warthog jets, artillery and infantry delivered a "devastating" counterattack outside the camp's walls, resulting in more than a dozen confirmed enemy kills, sources told the Daily News.

Well done!

"biggest attack" by 400 Terrorists ends with NO American Casualties? Pathetically bad performance by the Terrorists by any military measurement. Stupid Terrorirsts you go BOOOOM now!

"The fight is the latest sign that a group now calling itself al-Qaida in Afghanistan is adopting the aggressive tactics used against U.S. forces in Iraq, the Daily News reports, as Washington is increasingly talking about withdrawing from Iraq."
those tactics only work in urban enviroments, out in the open near a U.S Base is more suicide.

Some attack. Good guys 400. Jihadists 0.

OK, where's the speculation as to how the islamists found out Rumsfeld was going to be there that day?

Anyone besides me picking the New York Times?

Ping - al-Qaeda and Taliban attack SF camp in Afghanistan.

U.S. sources said no Americans were hurt

We get guys hurt running the obstable course, and they can't even nick a guy with a suprise attack by 400 people.

I love the dozens to 0 kill ratio.

The suicidal assault ...resulting in more than a dozen confirmed enemy kills, sources told the Daily News.

Glad to hear no US casualties, but this story seems somewhat overblown. Describing it as a suicidal assault by 400 enemy with only 12 confrimed kills seems a little less than suicidal to me.

I think that the Taliban should get their hands on some old SNL re-runs and check out the Bad Idea Jeans commercials :-)

I can see it now:
(camera show only the jeans of the mujis while they are getting together for a meeting)
Muji #1: Punch SMS'd me and told me that the evil Satan Rumsfeld is coming to visit his troops.
Muji #2: Then they will be distracted and it will be a perfect time to overrun the base.

Voice-over, in booming voice: Bad Idea Jeans!

...The suicidal assault...

Any assault from these loosers is a suicidal assault.

Thank god for our troops.

OK....I have to call B.S. here!

Where were the B-52's based, that they could respond like that? How was the "strike" co-ordinated "outside the walls" as they say?

My B.S. meter is pegging!
