    And what was the last one on US soil before that (done by OBL and his merry bunch of homos)?
    TWA Flight 800? What one before 2001? The 1993 WTC bombing?

    This mullah website is just the local link.
    The original article is from Stratfor, I checked.
    The only thing is that the stratfor article needs
    a membership. But you can still confirm it,
    just enter the headline of this article in google
    and it will show you the stratfor link.

    Ironic aint it? Afganistan is also the one place on earth where nukes
    will be the most ineffective.

    ( DISCLAIMER: Not that I would support the mass nuking :N of an entire country. )

    Yeah, I haven't seen anything to indicate that this is the result of anything but the wishful thinking of that fundamentalist website.

    Actually, this fits typical Afghan alliance relationships. Which ever side comes up with the most cash/allows the most "local" power gets the ally. This essentially means that forget any permenant alliances.

    Someone over at PDF pointed out that this could be within the wishes
    of the US forces, as they might have wanted to counter the growing
    influence of the NA forces which are threatening to dislodge the Karzai
    government.

    This above theory is the only which makes sense, because apart from
    guerilla warfare, how can the Taliban have launched a full assault and
    took back territory in the face of the Daisy Cutters? They are simply
    incapable of mounting a frontal attack.

    Or did they take advantage of the reduction of American forces in the region?
    Did the American forces leave such a big hole while shifting resources to
    Iraq, that the Taliban could mount an all out frontal attack?

    Taliban Makes Gains Against Afghan Government

    Summary:

    Stratfor sources have confirmed reports from a Web site maintained by Muslim jihadists that the Taliban has regained control of most of Zabul province in southeastern Afghanistan. This marks the first time that Taliban fighters - in concert with al Qaeda forces - have retaken a province since being ousted from power by the U.S. military in November 2001. It also underscores the stalemate between the U.S.-backed Afghan forces and the Taliban.

    Analysis:

    After months of cat-and-mouse battles in various districts, Taliban forces appear to have wrested control of almost all of Zabul from the provincial Afghan militias. Stratfor sources have confirmed the advance, which initially was reported (by Daily Islam). The reported seizure of the strategically important southeastern province, which lies along the border with Pakistan, marks the first time that the Taliban has been able to regain control of a province since being ousted from power by the U.S. military in November 2001.

    The advance also underscores the stalemate between the United States and its Afghan allies against the Taliban, and it indicates that the alliance formed in early 2002 between the Taliban, al Qaeda and Hizb-i-Islami - the party led by Afghan war lord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar - is paying off for the militants.

    Zabul is of strategic and military importance for a number of reasons. First, taking Zabul cuts off U.S. troops stationed to the south in Kandahar from the bulk of U.S. troops located to the north toward Kabul.

    Second, given that Helmand and Oruzgan provinces to the north of Zabul already are Taliban strongholds, the group can better try to isolate U.S. and local provincial troops in Kandahar and eventually attempt to retake Kandahar as well.

    Third, controlling Zabul gives the Taliban a way to cut lines of logistics, troop supply and communication between! U.S. and coalition troops in Kandahar and in Paktika and Paktia provinces to the east and along the border with Pakistan.
