The Taliban is on the offensive once more. After a swift assault of the villages of Arghandab District, they have now setup bases in and around the area.

The Arghandab region is found just 10 miles to the northwest of Kandahar City – the second largest city in the whole country.

The Bush administration, however, remains adamant on the use of these deadly bombs.
