At first it looks like nothing is happening, but then this infantry company opens up on Taliban positions in the Chora Valley of Afghanistan. The unit is B Co, 2/4 Infantry. The language is extremely explicit.

WHILE AMERICA IS SLEEPING, AFGHANISTAN WAR ABOUT TO EXPLODE
I feel compelled to write something about the war in Afghanistan because I think the American public are going to be in for a very rude awakening in the next couple or weeks.
The media has rightfully been devoting all their time to the economic crisis, but over in Afghanistan there are signs that the Taliban are about to launch a major Spring offensive against U.S. and NATO forces.
I have recently come across videos from Al Jazeera and posted them on my blog http://corksphere.blogspot.com showing the way the Taliban is preparing for a massive attack on U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan.
The Taliban have lined up many suicide bombers and the Taliban are armed to the teeth.
They are already cutting off supply lines which are used to bring in food to feed our troops and everyone knows an army travels on its stomach.
The media has all but forgotten the troops we have in Afghanistan.
There was a blurb a week ago about Obama ordering 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan and a one-day story about 3,000 members of the 10th Mountain Division arriving in Afghanistan.
As most of you know, I have devoted my blog to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq so I feel I'm somewhat of an expert on both theaters.
Afghanistan is about to become a nightmare for American troops.
As I do my "opposition research," I can't help but notice how Fox News has suddenly discovered there is war going on in Afghanistan. It is easily explained.
Fox News knows with Obama sending in 17,000 troops to Afghanistan that the Afghanistan war has now become "Obama's war."
Just like they did with the Swift Boat veterans, Fox News is going to dig up anything they can on the war in Afghanistan as a way of bringing home to the American public this war is "Obama's war."
Sir Winston Churchill wrote a book called "The Gathering Storm" about the war with Nazi Germany.
There is another "gathering storm"and it is happening in Afghanistan and at the present time America is sleeping.....but not for long I suspect.

SUPPLY LINES FOR U.S. TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN ARE CHOKED OFF (WATCH VIDEO)
The Taliban in Afghanistan knows only too well that an Army travels on its stomach and so the enemy forces have launched a major offensive to cut off the supply lines bringing in food to feed U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. This video shows how one such attempt was successful in blowing up a truck carrying potatoes.

10th MOUNTAIN DIVISION PREPARE FOR TALIBAN ATTACK IN AFGHANISTAN (MUST VIEW VIDEO)
Not many people in the United States have any idea what our Armed Forces are going through over in Afghanistan. That is because the mainstream media in the United States no longer covers the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq.
This video shows a unit of the 10th Mountain Division at a FOB in Afghanistan preparing their tiny little outpost against what they know will be an attack by the Taliban.

10th MOUNTAIN DIVISION OVER THERE--AFGHANISTAN (GREAT VIDEO
The famous 10th Mountain Division recently deployed an additional 3,000 troops to Afghanistan and this video shows what is in store for the men of the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan.
The terrain is a nightmare and the living conditions at FOBs is primitive to say the least.

WHAT THE 10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION HAS FOUND IN AFGHANISTAN
FORWARD OPERATING BASE ALTIMUR, Afghanistan, March 2 -- From the air, this U.S. Army camp in Logar province looks like a fortified gravel pit on a barren slope, surrounded by two-tiered sacks of dirt and razor wire.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/01/AR2009030102380.html
But inside the wire, the hundreds of young sappers and scouts and cavalry troops from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, all newly arrived for a one-year deployment, have a pretty good life.
There is a heated recreation tent with treadmills and table tennis, 24-hour Internet service, Skype hookups and a bank of low-cost, instant-connection phones. A muted cacophony of domestic chatter rises from the rows of plywood booths.
"Don't forget to make the car payment . . . She told me the new baby has red hair . . . I thought we agreed not to talk about that till I get home . . . No, it's real quiet here, Ma . . . I saw some pretty nice hunting rifles on the Net . . . Are you being a good girl for Daddy?"
One tent away is the DFAC, or dining facility, where a crew of cheerful civilian cooks from India stays up all night preparing a smorgasbord of goodies. There is a mountain of fresh strawberries and grapes, replenished daily. There are six kinds of ice cream and pie. There is surf and turf every Friday night, with lobster tails flown from Maine via Dubai.
After a late patrol, the men can still get grilled cheeseburgers at 2 a.m....
