Bagram Airfield is surrounded by several Afghan communities, the biggest being Bagram Village (more of a small town really). There is no way that we could push back all of the houses and business that are located there and keep the support of the locals.
I can still draw you a map of the place from memory hehe. It's a risk, but one that we have to take in order to build trust with the locals. Generally speaking the locals are not insurgents. It's people from other parts of Afghanistan that come there and cause problems. For the most part the locals just want to grow grapes and get stoned on hash. -- Timothy Heald Senior Developer/Architect HR/EX/SDD, SA-1, H808F Desk: 202-663-2752 Fax: 202-261-8299 Cell: 703-300-3911 -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 9:05 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: This Cheney/Taliban Thing > RoMunn wrote: > My guess is they found out the VP was in-country and had the base under > observation so they figured he hadn't left, but honestly That's the disturbing part to me: The Taliban is strong enough to have a US military base under surveillance and then logistically work through deploying a strike against it without concern for repercussion (which there doesn't appear to be any)?
