    What is going on? Bombs are exploding and stuff....like anti-aircraft artillery fire. We can't be responding already.

    Crazy...this world is. This is the saddest day I have ever lived yet.

    Something is on fire....like a fuel station or something. They keep mentioning missiles. The anti-aircraft fire may be pure paranoia on their part. I dunno.

    Apparently missile strikes at or near an airport. They are saying they don't know who is launching them at the moment. If it's a military airport, then it's a pre-cursor to an ass-kicking in my opinion...

    There is a civil war in Afghanistan.

    If it was the US, Kabul would not have power right now. If all the lights go out, then you know hell is coming two steps behind.

    TollPatch VacuumCleaner is right. There's nothing concrete, but the news is reporting that it could be just continuing internal fighting in Afghanistan.

    It is a ammunition depot outside the city. No one is confirming reports at all that it is the US.

    According to CNN, the opposition leader in Afghanistan was injured, perhaps killed in an attack yesterday by the Taliban. I think that this attack was a retribution for that attack.

    There's a 5 million dollar bounty on Laden's head courtesy of the U.S. of A. Dude is a dead man walking.

    IMPORTANT: This was NOT the US. The White House and others are stating clearly that the US did NOT ORDER THIS STRIKE!!!

    It could very well be the work of Bin Laden's foes capitalizing on the strike in the US as a way to possibly put the blame on us.

    I think that's exactly what is happening Jeff. I don't think the United States has anything solidly to do with this. But I tell you what, Laden is a dead man if the United States gets to him.
