The U.S. military has announced that the largest air assualt in 4 years in Afghanistan is underway in Kunar province. It was kicked off 15 hours ago, but a news embargo was imposed. An attempt has been made to keep the Al Queda and Taliban opposition contained so that they will not escape.
Several thousand coalition soldiers are involved. The exit passes are being held since it was believed that too many opposition forces escaped during the previous Operation Anaconda.

Well, I'll agree that they must have an idea that someone is in the area.
I think Osama became a legend a while ago.

Your comments sum up how I feel about polls and those who put their stock in them.
Ummm, everyone has a right to take their pick on the status of binny, but can we all just admit that WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS OR WHETHER HE IS ALIVE?
"Anyone polled who is ANTI-BUSH today but PRO-BUSH tomorrow due to the capture or killing of Bin Laden is a simpleton and prone to emotional tantrums, outbursts and temporary feelgoodism like a NEW HIGH......in other words a LEFTIST.

Agree. I'll still be sorely dissapointed in Bush if the great men and women of the US Military catch UBL.
"We could be seeing the makings of us getting inside their OODA loop with Mountain Lion."
Funny you mentioned OODA - I've been thinking a lot lately about how it can be used in my own field of endeavor.
Wikipedia has a decent article on it including process diagrams

Amen ..May God be with them and keep them safe from harm.
......"what the Taliban did to women".
The new regime is not a Helluva lot better in that respect.
Hey!
Why aren't you insulting the hermaphrodites, and the
transgenders, and the idontknowgenders, and the whoreallycaresgenders?
You should be an equal opportunity insulter! Get with it!
Well, golly, I didin't think of any of those. I lead a sheltered life. :-)
"In either case, I hope they put his head on a spike on the White House lawn and give Helen Thomas a front row seat."
Funny. I always hoped that Sharon would send Arafats head to Assad via Fedex.
"I agree with wasting his family, but his dog???"
And the fleas on the mangy mutts.

If we caught Osama today, the Democrats would be screaming, "see, it is because of our strategy for capturing Osama that Bush listened." Or they would just move the goalposts and say, "why are we after Osama? We should be looking for Zarquawi."
