This is just to let people know that things are happening in Afghanistan. We just don't hear about them. Notice how they only mention Al-Qaeda and not the Taliban to give the impression that any resistance is "terrorism"... [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A44160-2002Apr24.html]U.S. Units Attacking Al Qaeda In Pakistan[/url] Quote: "The enemy fighters tend to have sophisticated communications equipment and "better survival gear than we have," said one knowledgeable source. Some of the fighters have carried U.S. equipment that apparently was captured during last month's battle in the Shahikot valley. The al Qaeda members have impressed their American opponents with their military skills, most notably an ability to observe U.S. combat techniques and adjust accordingly. Despite months of bombing and last month's attack by thousands of U.S. and allied fighters, the al Qaeda groups continue to execute well-coordinated operations, officials said. In one instance, enemy fighters are believed to have launched a synchronized multipronged attack within a 10-minute period." Btw, these "American opponents" are not ground troops. They are Rangers, Delta Force and SEAL's who are among the best and toughest soldiers of the US Army and Navy. |
