O-kay - the learning process begins. In every war we've ever fought, we've learned from our opponents - if the political leadership gave us the opportunity to do it. Now we know the Talibs have small, heavily armed forces staked out NEXT TO obvious fixed objectives. Our next assaults will be in greater force, and on the CURRENT enemy positions instead of those they've abandoned under bombardment. What that means is that the combination of bombardment and ground assault is WORKING, unless you believe that the positions the Talibs are hastily improvising are better than those they were forced to abandon...
