Well if the Taliban would just like to turn BL over,
that would make alot of things easier .<gg>

The discussion of using Nukes on any major city
is beyond comprehension...absolutely far to
inhumane and indiscriminate.

But the use of certain small tactical nuclear devices in remote
terrains is another matter ....and could be a very
effective way of accomplishing a coupe de gras
on Bin Ladin's lair , once that general
location is approximated.

Still the use of nuclear weapons crosses a psychological
boundry in 21rst cent warfare and opens up
a pandora's box we might do well
to avoid .

But they will locate and neutralise him one way
or the other. My post to Karen about the Russians
was not joking ....they are the last people in the world
the Afghanis' ever want seeing return to their lands.
The russians have some old wounds to heal, and would
be fierce , if allowed to participate.

The Russians have already offered to participate...

I have a feeling the nerves are getting rather "frayed"
over in Kabul right now ....and beads of sweat are
common on the forheads of the Talibans

That is step #1...
