Are you saying, Jihads are so yesterday?

I'm saying the Afghans traditionally wait until the spring thaw to start their annual civil war offensives, and the Taliban won't start one this year due to logistical problems.

For instance - here are some old, pre-9/11 posts about the start of the Afghan war season -

3/30/2001 - Anti-Taliban Forces on the Offensive

4/15/2001 - Afghanistan: Opposition ready to launch offensive against Taliban

4/28/2001 - Afghanistan: Heavy fighting as Afghan war season starts
