Scott, can you imagine what it must be like to be a low-tech Taliban soldier (fleeing), with an F-18 swooping out of the sky shooting at you? These (supposedly) invincible warriors may talk a good game when the CNN camera's are running on a peaceful day. But when an F-18 is swooping down on you, they are running and screaming for their lives like any other human being would be.

Now that we have a beach-head staging area at Mozar-Shariff for our aircraft. The pressure is going to be unrelenting.

In the distance, Taliban fighters, distinguished by their mandatory black turbans, could be seen fleeing in trucks and pick-ups as U.S. F-18 jets swooped down and opened fire on them. http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml;jsessionid=TQG21AO...
