#1 Unfortunately for them, I suspect that this time, the gate will swing only one way, and once they're home, first the border will be sealed and the killing will begin in earnest.

#3 My raeding of various Net open-overt sources is telling me that the Taliban are unable to replace their losses - like Mao's boyz in post-Intervention KOREAN WAR 1, prohibitive losses or casualty levels is overstraining and threatening the integrity of the Taliban as an armed organization capable of defeating any internal or external threat. Looks like OMAR needs to rebuild and rebuild quickly and under security.

#8 The call has been given through posters inscribed with a message from the Taliban leader

"Blinky sez: C'mon home, Achmed! Hot chow and smokes await!"

#9 Jojo is a boy who wants to be Jehadi
But not just for the big ole blast
Jojo left his home in funky Rawalpindi
For some Special Virgin Ass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Come home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo.

It's me Omar Jojo, GET BACK!

#10 All quiet on the set.
Cue the Daisy cutters, the Thermobarics and Moabs
folks.
OK now, bring in the AC140 Gunships!
Action!

May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.

There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
- General George Patton Jr
