U.S. Planes Attack Taliban in Afghanistan
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - U.S. warplanes helped Afghan forces pound Taliban militants in the mountains of southern Afghanistan Tuesday, killing some 20 suspected insurgents at a recently discovered camp, a senior Afghan commander said.

The three-hour battle occurred in Arghistan district of Kandahar province, some 120 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul, provincial military commander Khan Mohammed told The Associated Press.

Khan said about 150 Afghan troops attacked the camp in an area called Ghbragyan on Tuesday afternoon, sparking a three-hour gunbattle in which three of his soldiers were injured.

``After that, U.S. warplanes came and started bombing the Taliban area,'' Khan said. ``U.S. forces told us that they had seen the bodies of about 20 dead Taliban.''

3. I read everything and use any resource I can get my hands on.
If there is a gov. agency to track peoples mail/reading habits (and I don't think there is),they are scratching their heads and wondering what to make of me.

I read Communist, Catholic, atheist, creation science, North Koren News, JUS, Drudge, here and many others. About the only place I will not read is the Free Republic, not because of ideology but because I think their website format is pitiful.

Read everything, analyze and make the most informed decision possible and every now and then you might get something right. :silly:
