Are the Taliban still "just laughing at" our bombs?

NOOO! Saw an interview with the Taliban foreign minister in Pakistan. Quote:"The American bombs were too accurate. We couldn't even put a cannon on the ground without it being blown-up. They were very accurate. There was nothing we could do." Said also, that they have no communications, they could not coordinate. That he could not get a phone call into Kandahar and didn't know what was going on.

Thanks for that info, GVgirl. Makes you wonder if these guys learned anything from the Gulf War, and the ten years of tech advances since then.

We even have unmanned drones now that are equipped with missiles and rockets. These propeller-powered cuties can hover around for hours, transmit pics back to the operator of what's in front of them, and release their ordnance in near "real time".

Now, that's heartwarming!
