Brett Baird got it right and provided the clue for the suicide banzi attack. President Karzi said yesterday the Talliban was no longer a fighting force.
In proving him wrong, they proved him right.
Good post.

"A joint Afghan-U.S. force repelled the attack with mortars, machine guns and air support."
Sound like these guy didn't even make it within 500 yards of the perimeter. Mortars and air support don't work when Muhammad is right outside the gate.

Sorry, just caught your follow up.
You are right that it now means to almost totally destroy. Weird when you think about it.

Saw it in an old movie years ago. Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire? Not sure. Line the soldiers up on a bridge and pushed every tenth one off. Being about 10 it made a big impression. Was really cool, too.

I didn’t think this was a good career move as soon as I read the headline earlier in the day.

Let them crawl out from their holes.
Let them come on in human waves.
Let them think they have a chance.
Cut them down — as with scythes.

Some must have escaped through the smoke of us bombing the crap out of them.

"The inability of the insurgent forces to inflict any severe damage on Firebase Anaconda, while being simultaneously decimated in the process, should be a clear indication of the ineffectiveness of their fighters," said Army Capt. Vanessa R. Bowman, a coalition spokeswoman. :-} Love your style Capt. Vanessa!

That statement by Capt. Bowman is going to leave a mark. Especially coming from a woman. *gasp*
