Afghanistan Front News

BBC News: Reports that the first stage of Operation Panther's Claw has come to an End. Of the twenty soldiers killed this month, 9 have been killed due to the operation, another 11 died in other combat operations. The Operation it has been stated has secured security for between eighty and hundred thousand people. When the military and politicians come out with such positive news from Afghanistan, a red flag goes up in my mind. How many Taliban/Terrorists just threw their weapons away, and returned to the general population. The question can our Soldiers keep the land they have taken, or will the Taliban hit back with more savage insurgent attacks. Thus just keep a red flat in your mind folks when you hear such good news out of Afghanistan. Lets be clear, if it works that is great, if we have smashed the Taliban/Terrorists that is fantastic, lets just not start a Street Party yet, I still see that Red Flag.
