Taliban ‘Offensive’ Going Nowhere
Yep, I told you that the vaunted Taliban spring offensive, supposed to be the largest and most powerful yet, would sputter and fail.
American airpower in particular has been devastating to the woefully underequipped and poorly-trained Talibs. AK-47's are no match for Apache helicopters, as Taliban commander Mullah Najibullah should have known before attacking U.S. and coalition forces in Helmand province.You can see stills of Najibullah's recent demise on video here.
The Taliban have been so ineffectual and inept thus far, that Army Col. Mark Schweitzer, commander of forces in eastern Afghanistan, is not even sure the much-anticipated spring offensive has even begun. "I hope this is their spring offensive, because it's not very effective," Schweitzer said.
