I'll bet a few of our drone spy-planes have been flying over the area non-stop since our SF troops went down. Not sure exactly where this spot is on the map, but if anything good is to come out of this terrible tragedy, it may now be politically acceptable for our troops to enter Pakistan territory and hunt for Osama and the rest of Al Queada.

Breaks my heart that we took such a shellacing in one battle. I dont see how all the people aboard the helicopter died if it was coming in for a landing. Dont we have any of those A10 Warthogs in Afghanistan? Seems to me if it was a HOT LZ should have softened it up first with the warthogs or something like that. A number of them were Navy Seals and I suppose the rest might have been some type of special forces from the Army. Takes YEARS to train those people and we have so few of them. This is a great loss IMHO. jdn
