Quote from dictator&king:

This will affect stock markets on Monday because Obama maybe be forced to withdraw from Afghanistan.

A spectacularly naive and wrong conclusion - Obama reaffirmed his involvement for a very specific reason; namely, the US needs a collection area to attract militant terrorists.

Bone is right. The US should maintain a limited low cost presence in Afganistan that attracts jihadists to the holy war in the homeland.

This will lower the possibility of domestic terrorism.

Unfortunately, it also means that US and allied troops are basically targets and the war will never really end.

Dead men tell no tales, since it was widely reported years ago that " bin laden" died years ago.

Where's his body this time? Umm..Errr...we tossed it overboard?

Quote from bone:

Historically, 25 % of Seal Team Six does not reach their 30th birthday - it's been that way since the early 80's.

There is also the Army's First Special Operations - Delta, the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron - and they are all integrated into the CIA's Special Activities Division.

It is a hit, but in terms of manpower it is not a crisis by any stretch of the imagination.

BTW, SF has been making incursions into Iran out of bases in Iraq since 2007.

I find that hard to believe considering most are in their 30's.

The Taliban said they would hunt down those who killed Bin Laden.

Time taken for US special forces to hunt down Osama. 10 years

Time taken for Taliban special forces with towels wrapped around their heads and equipped with 20 year old RPG's.3 months

Yes.

Quote from ForexForex:

I caught the tail end of the TV news and I think they said a dog was also aboard the helicopter and was also killed. Can anyone confirm this?

it won't happen. they know that obama is doing everything in his power to weaken the US. the taliban is familiar with obama's philosophy that the US is not an exceptional nation.

Quote from 377OHMS:

Awful.

I hope Wardak province is being carpet bombed today.

And Americans wonder why the world generally hates them and views them as warmongers.

Sure, 'carpet bomb' the province and no doubt kill a few bandits as well as 1,000s of innocents, many of them perhaps even sympathetic to the role that America is playing in the region.

By all means go after the enemy (if you know who he actually is) but try to have some compassion for the innocents.
