Anti-Taliban Tribals March on Kandahar

i believe the tribesmen in the south are now getting close air support from A teams on the ground. this was not true initially.
i also believe that teams have now been inserted in every significant area to look for and call airstrikes on targets of opportunity.

the hatred of the taliban regime and rules is becoming obvious. the afghani music, clean shaven men, and women showing their faces are clear examples of their unwilling oppression.

no guerrilla movement can survive without the support of the people. the taliban and obl's troops are doomed...but they may still fight at some point. we need to remember that many of those troops moving south have run off one battlefield. they have fear in their bones now and they will abandon the next battlefield faster.

btw the motto of Special Forces is "DE OPPRESSO LIBER" which means...FREE THE OPPRESSED.

Let's Roll,

theory: OBLaden claimed WTC attack because he expects to die soon

just my theory, but the Taliban and Afghan HQ of Al Qaeda seems to be imploding toward Kandahar
the most significant terrorist attack in history was the World Trade Center of NYCity on Sept11, 2001
if BinLaden expected to see his final days soon, then he wouuld want to lay claim and responsibility for this great Islamic accomplishment and achievement

I think OBL expects to die very soon
having a 1000 tons of earth and rock fall upon him would be a fitting end
inside a cave
with no ceremony, no fanfare, no body to parade
