CJ, We know where the food is. There isn't much water, and military supplies are scattered. The four or five year drought has taken care of the crop lands. Carpet bombing is what they want. A big waste of money that would make us look like fools and rally others to their cause. Flame throwers are more precise when it comes to caves. Napalm bombs are more of an area target weapon then a pinpoint target weapon. I bet the A teams are already in place. This is a tribal culture. Much different then VN. One has to sort out which tribes might join our side and which tribes will stand with ben Laden. I wouldn't use Agent Orange. It presents a long term health danger to our people. I read that a bunch of middle east money has moved out of our markets and into Swiss banks. However, the Swiss Franc is losing value so the story is so much BS. You can check out the Swiss Franc chart using the symbol CU.SF. NW

Carpet bombing would be ineffective against a force that is used to being spread out, in caves and living in desert conditions on little food. It would kill alot of civilians, but little of the Taliban. Bombing would bounce rocks. However, since there is little in the way of infrastructure, the best way to fight in Afghanistan (unfortunately) is to supply the NA and drop paratroops to secure landing fields as a means of supply. Funds have been locked up since the 11th, when we know where they are. Unfortunately, liberal banking laws in some countries prevent us from freezing the majority of the assets that exist.
