"More than 50 aircraft"

Gotta love it. Do you have a link to downloadable audio or videoclips or streams of the action by any chance ? :ping:

Seems like BBC is better then CNN.

Or at the least, i see reports on BBC that i don't, or won't see on CNN.

But about a dozen of them were UH-60s and CH-47s. Not exactly overwhelming firepower like 50 B-52s... :roll:

I say just find where they are and level the place beyond all recondition. :x

I havent heard any news from the 'front', today. Some sources say that, they have already found several hidden weapons caches along the way.

Smoke ´em out! :rock:

It appears that this whole operation is really little more than a routine COIN operation. I think the name "Operation Swarmer" and all the hallabaloo about "50 aircraft" were just an attempt on the part of the Bush Administration to make it look like they are taking some agressive new action to speed the war along-nothing new. :nope:

Looks like it's not over yet.
