It's
only fitting that the Army Rangers were given first crack at Al-Qaida and Bin Laden after what was done to them in Somalia.
Job well done, Rangers!!
Hooaah - from a Marine!!

Probably sucks right now to be a Taliban soldier. You don't know if the next time you head out to the crapper if an AC-130 will blow your arse up or suddenly the Rangers will appear in the dark moonless sky. You grip your teddy bear just a little harder tonight not knowing what tomorrow will bring.

The CHIEF negotiator is smiling down on his brothers!

You have believe that you've died and gone to hell, when one of these babies starts shooting its loads. Nothing in life could have prepared these bastards for what they're getting now. I hope they send hundreds of thousands of "students" from all over the mideast to be Spooky Fodder.

Can you believe what it would be like with the xlinton administration playing to the peaceniks, and his disdain for the military, and where we would be in this operation now?
We do have a gaurdian Angel for our Country and his name is Jesus.

Yay for the Sidebar Moderator. He's a dude!
This is just the beginning for the Rangers. One of them will be able to carve a Mullah Omar on his rifle butt soon.
To: blam
The Taliban yesterday said they had repulsed the attack and suffered no losses. But unofficial sources in Pakistan said the Taliban 'took a mauling', leaving more than 20 fighters dead. They'll be asking for a truce again tomorrow!

Old Omar has to be running out of clean diapers, first a Cruise Missle to his house, next his Chevy Suburban, now his mountain cottage. Bwahahahah, hope his sitting in some cave somewhere, shell shocked, hungry, crapping in a hole and wiping his butt with his finger. Run, rabbit, run!! May you suffer the pain of all 6000 American victims, and your death be slow and agonizing.

Yeah, they ought to give all the volunteer martyrs plenty of time to get on in there and then wipe them all out. They'll be surprized their phony religion promised all those virgins on the other side!
To: dep
does anyone but me find the irony absolutely delicious -- it was bin laden's people who set up our guys in somalia. and our guys were rangers.
This was no coincidence.

From another article which seems this ol' Dad didn't want anything more to do with the Specter........
Kaba and refugees interviewed at Chaman said the movement was caused by intense overnight military strikes on targets in and around Kandahar that appeared to have caused panic. Dad Mohammed, a 38-year-old driver who fled with his family, said he decided to leave Afghanistan today after seeing a U.S. AC-130 Specter gunship fire at Taliban forces. It was flying low. It almost seemed to stop flying and float at one time, he said of the U.S. plane, a modified C-130 transport that carries a 105mm howitzer and a Gatling gun that sprays 1,800 bullets a minute. Then it began firing. It was like the plane was breathing fire. It was horrible, horrible.
