A Taliban army is mobilizing in Pakistan for an attack into Afghanistan Oh, "Bring em on!" Pearly! When these people are hiding in "onesies" and "twosies" in towns, we have a hard time getting at them. But with our new Air attack methods; when they form into large groups to come at us they become lunchmeat.

Two Years On, U.S. Bullish on Afghan Progress reuters.com ..."That being said, we continue to engage in combat operations to the degree necessary to kill, capture and deny sanctuary to anti-coalition forces. We think things are progressing, we think anti-coalition forces are desperate." Davis said opposing forces had been obliged to resort to hit-and-run tactics using small groups of five to 10 men. "Wherever they mass...we kill them," he said. Davis said that while there were areas, mainly in the south and east, where security was a concern, guerrillas had failed to destabilize the central government or cause the international community to give up on Afghanistan. "So the only way we are going to lose this is if we quit," he said. "And we are not going to quit, so we're not going to lose it. So they are going to have to leave or they are going to die." He said U.S.-led forces had stuck to their program of establishing civilian-military provincial reconstruction teams around the country to boost security and aid work.
