The tone was mocking and brutal as the signals cut into local frequencies with jamming equipment. The words were aimed at the Taliban fighters below, huddled over radio sets. 'You are condemned. Did you know that? The instant the terrorists you support took over our planes, you sentenced yourself to death,' they said. The war, barely two weeks old, was entering a bloody and dangerous new phase.

This is exactly how it should be. Screw any talks of amnesty and clemency for the Taliban that decide to defect. Anybody that is willing to defect could very well switch sides again. We have to treat them like the cockroaches that they are. Our only priority should be to kill them, nothing more and nothing less.

This was an excellent raid and the psychological effect had to be devastating for the Taliban. A lightning-quick raid with maximum shock force in a place that was thought to be totally safe is exactly what is needed to put total fear into the Taliban. The last thing that we need is air raids without ground troops out of fear of casualties. I wonder if they're still swelling their chests while saying 'Bring it on' to our ground forces? If that is what the bastards want, we will oblige them.

May God have mercy on their souls because our Special Forces won't!!

Somebody posted on the Chairman's threads (Dec 19th Chairman) that some of these brave soldiers were wearing the graphic of the soldier taking the flag from the NYC Fireman and saying - " I'll take it from here ".

God bless each and every brave one! And the military commanders, officers, support people, and all those in the area who are offering their nations' assistance. We cannot underestimate the amazing ability of our Commander in Chief and his team to pull all these resources together.

I heard CIC Bush say again today (on replay of Chairman of Joint Chief's welcome) that "we will make sure our service men and women have whatever resources are needed to get the job done!"

God bless you, President Bush and all your team and every fighting man! God go with each of you every minute of every day!
