| Bombing raids were carried out for a fifth day against a large cave complex in eastern Afghanistan where al Qaeda and Taliban forces have been trying to regroup. U.S. warplanes attacked the complex near Zhawar Kili, destroying several buildings, defense officials said. Mopping up Afghanistan will take a long time - and it doesn't look like we're going to get any help from the Pashtun section of the country. If the Bad Guys can stage a single major success, it'll be a propaganda victory for them that could cause some of the Taliban to "unsurrender." |
