Operation Moshtarak
clipped from www.foxnews.com
Roughly 15,000 American, Afghan and NATO forces began an assault late Friday on the Taliban in the central Helmand town of Marjah in what senior military commanders are calling the largest operation since the start of the Afghanistan war.
Detecting multiple layers of insurgent defenses encircling the city, Cobra helicopters fired Hellfire missiles at tunnels, bunkers, and other defensive positions. Militants also flooded the main canal at the town's entrance, making it more difficult for U.S.-led forces to enter on foot.

British troops are engaged in fierce fighting with the Taliban in southern Afghanistan as Operation Moshtarak gets under way.
Operation Moshtarak - which means 'together' in the Dari language - will involve around 15,000 International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) and Afghan National Army troops.
The Ministry of Defence said Moshtarak was the first part of a three-stage plan to increase security in Afghanistan.

Anwar al Awlaki “follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal”

The personal Web site for a radical American imam living in Yemen who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers is praising alleged Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a hero.
The posting Monday on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion.
Going through the “Bloggers for Sarah Palin” Blogroll…
...and found three links that TIN readers might really like:
- All American Blogger, "Who's Best at Stopping Roadside Bombs?" - fta: For those folks who spend all their free time donning the headset, logging into XBOX Live and playing HALO, believe it or not, you will not see the roadside bomb that takes out your truck. You spend too much time narrowing your vision to the confines of a television screen...
- Blatherings, "Cheney on the dithering Obama" - fta: dick cheney says we can win in afghanistan if we have courage. i believe that don’t you? but apparently the obama administration has little courage when it comes to afghanistan. they seem to be able to only muster a smug-like bravado over the war with foxnews! their constant dithering and indecisiveness signals to our enemies abroad that we are weal, making us vulnerable and less safe.
- Caffeinated Thoughts, "The Final Word on the Palin in Des Moines Controversy" - a story proclaiming that Sarah Palin had charged an outrageous speaking fee for an Iowa appearance turns out to be less than truthful. Check out the details at this link.
Hope all of you enjoy those links: don't forget to leave a comment at those blogs if you visit (might even want to mention how you stumbled upon them). If none of that suits your reading pleasure, there's always this Commentary on the Gettysburg Address I wrote some time ago.
