| #6 You can bet SOCOM doesn't have that many bodies (15 sq KM is a lot of land in that area - mountains, etc). And the Brits and Aussies stood by us, so they should get a share of the glory. And, more importantly, the SAS/SBS has some of the best damned operators in the world. When you care enough to send the best, you dont quibble over little things like nationality amongst friends. (Note that France and Germany and Russia are NOT on that list). |

| #5 Waitasec ... didn't they say that USSOCOM had him cornered? So what's the SAS (UK) doing in their subtitle? (Unless it's a joint operation, which is cool.) |

| #4 [excerpts:] It [the operation] will centre on suspected Taliban and al-Qaeda men who Pakistan believes have married Pakistani women and are living in the tribal areas -- the remote and historically autonomous regions that have never really been brought under the control of Pakistan's central government. It will be conducted in the Waziristan tribal region in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier province, intelligence sources said.... "We are now tracking al-Qaeda fugitives to get clues from them about him." |

| #2 15 sq km, eh? What sort of yield is needed to put that much area inside the plasma fireball of a nuke? *g* |

| #1 is this the same source that said he's trapped in just a 15 square km area. If its true about the 15 km bit then binny really is doomed, fingers crossed |
