Dutch F-16 bombing taliban positions in Afghanistan

The video shows the footage from the cockpit of two Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16s as they drop GBU-12 laser guided bombs on taliban positions.

There is some dutch talking in the background but I couldn't filter it out. An Air Force spokesperson is basicly explaining how they operate.

Translated:
"Machinegun fire came from a compound a couple of hundred meters away from a British position. We [the F-16] were called in to destroy the compound. The forward air controller reported that there was no risk of collateral damage, the pilot confirmed this over the radio. A laser guided bomb was then dropped on the compound and stopped the machinegun fire."

Is he asking what the white ball is? Because I believe it's a cursor.

@Tree0rnament Indeed, a very large % of Talibans are Arab zealots, not Afghans.

The Talibs are decieved by satan . They flog their women for watching a TV , or singing a song . Painting any animate object is blasphemy and requires death. The sooner Jehovah God passes his judgement on these vermin the better . all praise to the creator of the universe.

@ElgringoPedro We haven't retreated... In Iraq, we're pulling out b/c all we have to do is train their security forces. In Afghanistan, we've smashed every single Taliban offensive. They don't have much more left...

By the way, in Afghanistan, we aren't invaders. We're fighting WITH Afghanistan against radical rebels. The Taliban don't want to die for their country, they want to die for allah and their twisted beliefs of the Islamic faith...

@ElgringoPedro

.. Whereas the allies army's soldiers, most of them fight for money and are definitely happy to be alive each passing day.

I am aware that the two of them (talibans and allies) are subjects to die during the fighting process. The difference is the first ones are happy to die for a nobel cause, the latter ones are afraid to die. That makes all the difference!

You should have learned: VIETNAM ...

@Tree0rnament

And .. can you please tell me where have you gotten that far with that war now?

Answer: retreat!

Remember this mate, you can't win agains an enemy who is ready to die for his fight. To mate it more clear, the talibans (whatever they could have done of murder and such) are in a position where they're fighting against INVADERS, they have a good reason (may be not the sole) to die for their country.

We can't do it alone as then it will be seen that we are the sole foreign nation there and it would rally more Afghanis against us; that's why we need the NATO allies.
