New My strategy....
...would be to pick a remote part of Afghanistan - there are lots of them available - and set up a military base prior to Nov. 17. Begin fortifying the camp and set up aerial supply drops for food and munitions. And when Ramadan rolls around, simply stop the bombing and bunker down the fort. Turn the tables on the bastards, and see if they are willing to cease hostilities during the holy month?

New Does Ke Sahn and Dien bien phiu ring a bell?(spelling sux)
French and Americans tried it in SE Asia French got their asses totally kicked we got bloodied bad for no reason. Never build a fort and wait for the enemy. Seek him out, quickly, strike overwhelmingly and retreat in good order.
thanx,

New Re: Does TET Offensive
I agree that US should not stop going after OBL - his bases & anyone who tries to stop us doing those things.

Ramadan is meaningless as far as going specifically after OBL & his bases is concerned.


Re the bombing affecting civilians - this link says as well as I could -
[link|http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/south/10/25/gen.afghan.alliance/index.html|Cnn - Northern Alliance suggests pause]

IIRC
Dien Bien Phu was where the Froggies got jumped on by General Nugen Vo Giap in the mid 1950s

Ke Sahn (sp) was a forward US base that got pulverised

TET was when US thought Buddists would be on holiday but agnostic commies pounced
