Default Taliban fighters take over several Afghan villages

How reassuring. I myself have a better plan than this one. Which might be an ambush or a way to get supplies around our forces.
Lets draw down 40,000 troops from Iraq, which wants us out anyway and redeploy them and some stykers and heavy tanks into Afghanistan. Before we have a fight on our hands we can't win. Last month there were more dead in Afghanistan than Iraq. How much more intelligent do we need?
And send the rest in Iraq home. More at the site.

Taliban fighters take over several Afghan villages - Yahoo! News

KANDAHAR,- Hundreds of Taliban fighters took over several villages in southern Afghanistan on Monday just outside the region's largest city, and NATO and Afghan forces were redeploying to meet the threat, officials said.

Mohammad Farooq, the government leader in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province, said around 500 Taliban fighters moved into his district and took over several villages.

Arghandab lies just north of Kandahar city — the Taliban's former stronghold — and a tribal leader from the region warned that the militants could use the cover from Arghandab's grape and pomegranate orchards to mount an attack on Kandahar itself.

"All of Arghandab is made of orchards. The militants can easily hide and easily fight," said Haji Ikramullah Khan. "It's quite close to Kandahar. During the Russian war, the Russians didn't even occupy Arghandab, because when they fought here they suffered big casualties."

The push into Arghandab comes three days after a sophisticated Taliban attack on Kandahar's prison that freed hundreds of insurgent fighters being held there.

NATO spokesman Mark Laity said NATO and Afghan military officials were redeploying troops to the region to "meet any potential threats."
