#1 This village that we attacked is only 35 miles from Damadola...this has the feel of an operation to get Zawahiri.

#3 Why artillery , why not a nice fat juicy MOAB followed by a 'clean up'. Anyway , us outside the intel world will just have to wait to see ..
Got some nice sticky toffee popcorn and a small dram of firewater on hand .

First map: Eastern Afghanistan, Kunar province

Then using the next map down, click the zoom feature on Kunar province area until you see the Mandaghel complex of villages.

2nd Map: A-Stan, Kunar province, village of Mandaghel

#5 Took a long time, but finally found the village complex. You'd think there would be better maps of that whole area at this point. Then again if there were we probably wouldn't have access to them. I would love to see this pan out and nail that fugger. After Saddam I wonder if the order is to NOT take him alive.

#7 no probs UB, ...seems like there are fewer public A-stan & Iraq map resources on line today than only 3 years ago. If it helps our men and women stay a bit safer, it's a good move.
