Are those current photos? I thought Phase III of OML was years ago.
They must have an idea Osama is in the area or they would be dropping AGM-142's on the caves, I think.
...or B61-11's?
Most excellent photos. Thank you for posting them.
Godspeed to our troops.
Thank You!
Thanks for those pics. Rugged country!
