There are 3 other US Rifle BN's lined up at Bagram field waiting to be called in, from both the 101st and 10th Mountain.
[url]http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&u=/nm/20020305/ts_nm/attack_afghan_dc_69[/url] Also there is a Canadian unit of unknown size waiting to go in at Bagram with the US troops. Members of a Canadian unit are on standby at the coalition base in Kandahar, ready if they're needed said Maj. Jamie Robertson at Central Command in Tampa, Florida. Perhaps the rest of the PPCLI? Anyone know for sure where they are? Anyhow they are quite prepared for this to get much bigger. |

My favorite quote, from this doomed individual:
Maulvi Saif-ur-Rehman Mansoor, a commander of the al Qaeda and Taliban forces, vowed to fight to the death. "We prefer death than living a shameful life," he was quoted as saying by the private Afghan Islamic Press (AIP). "The fight against America for the supremacy of Islam and the defense of our country will continue until our last breath." This guy has watched Gladiator too many times. "for the supremacy of Islam"- another Islamic Supremacist. This one definently needs to be buried in pork. |

The last time I did the math, it was approximately 50,000 enemy lives for each American killed in Action regardless of the enemy. So let me see.
WWI WWII Korea Vietnam Grenada Desert Storm Trade Center and Pentagon and Airplanes. And Now Afghanistan. That is probably around 1.5Million Men, So at 50,000 that is 75,000,000,000 , yes that is right 75 Billion lives that our enemies owe us. And if we run out of enemy before we run out of payback, it just rolls over to the next war. I havn't checked hell recently to see how many of our enemy are there from previous wars. So well we will just have to start over at 75,000,000,000 more. And if wanna get right down to it. One American life is priceless; worth more then entire population of the particular country of the particular person that took it. Benjamin |

That's not the commercial Magpull but the standard 550 cord and hundred mile an hour tape magazine trick that everyone does. As for the headmount,it looks like the First Sergeant has made his semi-permanent by screwing it to the K-pot. If you use the strap over the top method it can be taken on and off pretty quickly as needed. But at any kind of distance it's just gonna blend into the background,shouldn't be too much of a liability.

U.S. Says Half of Taliban, Al Qaeda Fighters Killed
Wed Mar 6, 2:18 AM ET BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces have killed half the Taliban and al Qaeda fighters holed up in caves in eastern Afghanistan (news - web sites) in attacks on their positions that began last week, a U.S. military official said Wednesday. "We've killed up to 500 or more," said Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Piatt. "Initially, we thought it was only about a couple of hundred but now we think it's about half (of the total enemy force)." But Piatt said it was unclear whether the Taliban and al Qaeda fighters had been able to reinforce their positions since the intense fighting began. "We're watching that very closely. The signs we're looking for are reinforcing. These mountain ranges are very high... right now it's hard to tell." |

Quoted: i'd hate to be hunted down by the 10th Mountain and 101st ABN. the enemy is toast. There's more truth to this than most people know. Spec ops has gotten most of the press on this one, probably because the media thinks it's sexy. The unsung heros are those young infantry soldiers who will sit it out until the killing time starts. Once it starts you don't want to be to thier front. There's an old poster that was banned in the Ranger Bn's back in the late '70s. It went something like: "We're not the Killing man, we're the Killing man's son. We'll do the killing until the killing man comes." Well those Taliban Sons of Bitches are meeting the killing man. |

NOTE TO ISLAM:
You are about to see something, You have not seen in about 700 years. The new Crusaders are not wearing the Cross of St. John and carrying swords. They are wearing three color desert and carrying M4's. Lest you men of Islam, think, that you are the only faith on earth, capable of Jihad, I would point out, The video clips, this morning of young american soldiers, singing Amazing Grace, just before boarding the helicopters, to take them, into the Battle of Gardez. Your willingness to shoot prisoners and kill civilians, shows that you are truely 12th century men, and we will treat you as such. The Crusaders are now on the field of battle. The west has awakened to the threat that you pose. Think back to the 12th century. Be afraid, oh men, of Islam, Be very, afraid. |

Since the crusaders were ultimately defeated by the muslims, I don't know if that analogy is going to scare them much. The Crusaders were defeated only when the European powers that sent them got busy with killing each other, rather than taking care of business in Jerusalem. But don't think that the Crusades didn't have a devestating effect upon Islamdom - why do you think they're the ones stuck in the 13th Century and we're not?

But don't think that the Crusades didn't have a devestating effect upon Islamdom - why do you think they're the ones stuck in the 13th Century and we're not? The Crusades hurt the Islamic world, but the real devastation was inflicted by the Mongols. Baghdad was the leading center of Islamic culture before Hulegu laid waste to it (and the Abbasids) in 1258. The final destruction of the Taliban is only a small moral defeat for the Muslims. I think they understand that the US is going to try to attack the terrorist fringes of the Islamic world without waging war against the main body of "good" Muslims. |

If it was'nt for the Crusades, Islam would have been at the gates of Vienna, in much the same way as the Hun's. (No offense to Eric the AR15.com Hun)
Islam has always been Expansionist, Take a look at what they were trying to do in Italy and Spain, Hundreds of years ago. Or, Take a look at their Designs on Chechnia and the southern former Republics, of the now dead, Soviet Union. The Russian's were not in Chechnia, Because they are blood thirsty Bastards, The Russians have a historic memory of what Islamic Expansion is all about, that is only slightly less vivid than the lesson they learned in the Great Patriotic War. Instead of preaching Carteresque human rights, We should have been helping the Russians kill as many of the Moslem's as possible, To send a message to the Mullah's in Terhan, That, Their dream, of a Islamic Super State, stretching from Tiblisi in Georgia, to The Horn Of Africa, and From Yugoslavia to The Western Marches of China. Would no more be allowed, in the 21st century, Anymore, than it would have been, in the 12th. |

I am not happy about the news coverage. The media outlets obviously have more footage than they are showing us, because some of the stills they post dont match the footage you can see.
The bastards are holding out on us. The DoD has cleared far more footage then they are showing us. And yet they still chop it all up into 30 second pieces instead of showing it to us intact. On the other hand they zap live to watch caskets being unloaded... gee could it be they have a agenda? Nah... |
