I am confident that the strikes are being conducted in a surgical, highly efficient, and dealdy effective way. This action isn't being prosecuted under the same doctrine of maximum military stregth focused at the points of engagement that the Gulf War was. The air strikes initiated today are designed to take out the Taliban's ability to communicate. The air strikes are only part of the equation, a phase in a more comprehensive plan. There are also the Special Ops ground attacks. Anyway, above all this is NOT an attack against the people of Afghanistan. Great pains are actually being taken to encourage that the people there rise up against their oppressors there. And if you don't think the Taliban is horrendously oppressive to it's own people you are grossly uniformed and/or living in a sheer FANTASY world.
