WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. and British elite forces have conducted operations within Afghanistan, a senior Bush administration official told CNN on Friday.The Special Operations forces have been in Afghanistan and the region within the past several days, a White House source said.
The official declined to comment on Pakistani media reports that the soldiers were looking for suspected terrorist ringleader Osama bin Laden.
Such operations, customary with major military deployments like the one in the region, help gather information about terrain and possible airstrike targets, the source said.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
CNN is sensitive about reporting information that could jeopardize lives or ongoing military operations.It is CNN's policy not to report the specifics of imminent or real-time military actions when told by appropriate authorities that this could jeopardize lives or ongoing operations.
Reports of the operations first appeared in Pakistani newspapers and, this morning, in USA Today.

I don't wanna fight there, but would if I had to, and I am not old enough either.
Hopefully if we win, the terrorist attacks will stop.

There are plenty of volunteers to go fight there. Not everyone wants to give up their lives to go fight, and possibly die, in another country. Fighting in a war just isn't for everybody. The military isn't for everybody.
Some of us have families to support, children to raise.
I'm 18, my Dad and stepmother have told me that they would rather go and fight in my place. Why? Because I haven't even had a chance to live my life.
Before you open your mouth again to speak, THINK about what the fuck you are going to say.

You shouldn't be really. They already said most ( probably 85% ) of this war will be fought by Spec Ops and not conventional military units.

As for you, you ignorant bastard, I am probably more patrotic then alot of people here. But I'm not about to go enlist. I know my place, it is in the private sector. I dont need to put more stress on my family by going off to war, we are going through enough right now with my father working 12+ hour shifts at Airport Check Points because of this, so some form of elder figure in my household atm ( even if I do just have people play games all day ) helps alot because my mother is going slowly insane. Now imagine if I left for war... that would effectively destroy her, along with my sister, who has already threatened to do everything in her power to keep me in the states. But, I'm also not afraid to go off if my country needs me ( Reopening of the Draft ) to make sure that my family stays safe.
So just shut your mouth. I'm going to sit here and cheer my country on and help the economy by doing work here in the states. I'm doing my part in all of this.
Second, Pesco, I was referring to those gladly cheering for the fact that they don't have to go and fight for a worthy cause- their frikin freedom and rights as Americans! Their families safety!

Um... I'm rather glad they didn't reopen the draft.
*shudders*
LOOK they have the right to cheer not to be drafted... you have the right to want to fight in this stupidity they call a war.
PERSONALY I find fighting unnecissary and counterproductive. All we'll end up doing is being no better then the damned terrorists. Is that what we really want? People fearing us?
And yes I blaim the Taliban for being such hard ..... jerks who feel that they're so high and flipping mighty, they just couldn't hand over Laden. And spread lies that the US is all out to oppress their beliefs...
This isn't a holy war, it's an exsorcize in human stupidity.
I'll stand up for anything I feel is valid. War is never valid. Call me unamerican all you want, call me a coward, but I refuse to believe this will turn out for the better of our nation...

I don't agree with that guy, but so everyone who is either too old, too young, or for any other reason unable to work or be drafted should just keep their mouths shut in your opinion?

You people are slowing down, shame shame shame.No, I think someone who tries to belittle working Americans who are actually OLD enough to be drafted, that don't WANT to be drafted, even though this person himself is not old enough for either, is a hypocrite.

Someone who contributes to society in absolutely no positive manner should not be criticizing those who choose not to go to war.
Someone who is too old to be drafted has probably held a job sometime in his life, and, therefore, contributed to society. From what this guy has shown us, he just wastes oxygen while yelling at us to go die in a war that we can't win.

Ok, fine, this is my last post.
Because this is a war on global terrorism. You can't fight global terrorism and win, it's impossible. You would have to control the mind of every living person and thing to do so.
Bye.
