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.

"One thing Zarqawi doesn't want to do is turn European and US public opinion back toward the war, which is why I believe he is hesitant to order suicide attacks in Europe even though his ego is pushing him in that direction."
A very good point. Any attacks of significance just give GWB more credibility to those still with heads in the sand why we must forge ahead and attempt to kill them all off.
As for your suggestes of bribing in essence some of these people, that is fine, if you cn find them. We have to remember many of the ring leaders are embedded in tribal areas that maintain loyalties. Many of them may simply not desire riches and material goods. If they where to have appeared to take a bribe, off with their heads.

Yep. I think he's burnt toast, others think he's alive and well and no one can prove either way who is correct. Yeah, it can be proven that he's still alive. But that information isn't for open sources. However, since everyone throughout the intel world feels he's alive, I'm quite certain he's still alive.

Kunar province is right on the border to Pakistan. It is a good escape route. Pakistan may prove to be an unreliable ally in the war on terror.

The new regime is not a Helluva lot better in that respect.Oh, dear...........you can't be serious.
Let's see..........
Taliban........women wearing burqas, having fingers chopped off for wearing fingernail polish, being shot en masse in athletic stadiums.
"New regime"............women voting, girls in schools, women in government, NO fingers being chopped off and mass murders and rapes.
Yep. They're pretty much the same all right.
You aren't by any chance a student at Yale are you?

I believe the US and Pakistan now have a secret agreement where US troops are routinely operating within Pakistani territory. It isn't something the State Department or Pakistan can reveal publicly, but I think this is probably going down right now.
To: MEG33
Thank you. I hope you don't mind, I posted your prayer from the other thread on a site for USMC families.

Bush's polls may be due to massive sampling error where the respondents are being polled from DemonRAT populations. It may be also be a result of who is home or willing to answer the telephone. Republicans may not be as willing to answer the phone because they are busy doing other things.

"I believe the US and Pakistan now have a secret agreement where US troops are routinely operating within Pakistani territory. It isn't something the State Department or Pakistan can reveal publicly, but I think this is probably going down right now." I hope Pakistan comes through. It seems as if they have been tipping off Bin Laudin on our next move.

So many have and still serve with honor, committment. Not to destroy or deliberatly harm, but to bring down those evil forces of this world that make the lives of so many miserable. May the good Lord as these brave men go into harms way in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other points on the globe keep HIS almighty hand over them, as a mother hen shields her chicks from harmsway. We continue to daily keep them all in our prayers.
