Afghanistan
12 rockets fired at US base in Khost
2004-01-16
The U.S. military says about a dozen rockets have been fired at an American base in eastern Afghanistan. But there were no injuries or damage. A spokesman for a provincial governor says the rockets smashed into fields near the airport in Khost last night. They were fired from near the Pakistani border and he blames remnants of al-Qaida. Khost province has been the focus of American military operations against al-Qaida fighters who are believed to slip back and forth across the border.

#5  A little napalm will take care of that. Turns seething into sizzling in about 30 seconds. Works for me!

#4  Nope. Nope. Couldn't possibly do that. Causes the tribals to seethe, y'know.

#3  Pakistan is supposed to be an ally. Don't we have the right to cross the border in hot pursuit??? And if not, why not?
