My only surprise factor is "Gosh, that was quick". But then probing the defences, especially with those happy to die in the process, makes military sense. Does it not?
On the evidence available, this seems to be a relatively minor incursion attempt. Does anyone expect a full-frontal assault by thousands of Taliban on little motorcycles? Of course not ... It will be the "nibbled to death by ducks" process, accompanied by more suicide and car bombs.
And the Taliban will, IMO, inevitably win, thus negating all the expense, suffering and death of the last 13 years.
I cannot believe that News such as this would be suppressed by the Media for political purposes ... Possibly
