Hmmm,
Name one major Taliban victory.
The battle at Kunduz will be the most important so far. Here is my guess:
The attack on Kundoz will be sudden and violent. Coordinated Air attacks, and ground attacks will commemence suddenly and without warning.
The US will try to generate a huge shock value. The more NA troops that survive, the more there are to go to Khandahar. The refugees from the Taliban that make it to Khandahar will carry with them stories of attacks that they have not heard before.
Only after a full night of attacks will the NA go in, and in multiple prongs. Apparently the US commander was actually in Afghanistan, and I would imagine that war plans were reviewed and revised. The key is taking out the tanks. Tanks running at night give off a huge heat signature, even if they are hidden.
Next stop Khandahar. Once Khandahar falls, OBL will have no where to hide. Don't you think your favorite NA commanders would like that 25 mil? Maybe your favorite Gen Dostrum will get rich and go to London, or Geneva? He would fit right in wouldn't he?
I think Sunday means Sunday.
