Wow. Saw the photo from another source, to bad it got published.

Interestingly, the news organization selected a photo that insured the safety and security of the interp, since they had a 100 to choose from.

Hats off the the soldiers who pushed back, hard.

9 attackers. Some casualties. Threat neutralized.

The media is playing this up as if it was Tet '68.

Yeah, and the objective was a bit tougher than the average OBL raid.

Goes to show what a few good soldiers can do when they have too. A-stan security forces must have been trained by the best.

While it isn't like TET, it should be a wake up/reminder to the administration/Obama of the Taliban's true colors. No Negotiations. Pound them-kill them. These are the guys that throw acid in little girls faces if they go to school...

It also did a number on Walter Cronkite’s shorts…

The L.A. Times ran that picture today, large and in color, on the front page, above the fold.
