Well, they were waiting until the Taliban were in "hundled masses". The daisy cutter works better on large groups.

I don't know.Maybe they're just now getting the "daisy cutters" or maybe they think now is the right time.I trust this administration and one thing is for sure,they know better than me how to conduct this war.I mean,I never been in a war,let alone had any training or experience in war strategy.

"Question is: Why have they waited,until ,now to use them?"

Simple. 1)They waited until the appropriate phase in the war where the delivery platform (a slow flying C-130) can relatively safely operate without the IAD or AAA threat of being shot down. 2) Until the target list and logistics priorities of all the other things that must take place to make this a successful operation was far enough along that the C-130 assets were available and higher priority targets already removed.

In short, all of this is orchestrated in great detail and it is unfolding according to a timeline. So 'Be Happy'!
