The NYT report says that these attacks will continue until August 31\, but comments of Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin are vague on this point. \nPrevious reporting suggests that these air attacks are heavily dependent on the use of drones for direct attacks and for assisting in targeting for manned aircraft. \nHere are a variety of links that are well-worth reading in detail.  Time consuming but it gives an insight into how little the U.S. wants to reveal about these air attacks\, which seem futile\, face-saving gestures by the U.S. with no regard for the numbers of Afghans who will be killed between now and August 31. \nhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gen-milley-says-taliban-appear-to-have-strategic-m omentum/2021/07/21/e04c7242-ea5a-11eb-a2ba-3be31d349258_story.html \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/21/us/politics/afghanistan-taliban.htmlstrategic \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/21/us/politics/afghanistan-taliban.html \nhttps://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/2702966/secretary-of-defen se-austin-and-chairman-of-the-joint-chiefs-of-staff-gen-mille/ \nThe most clear-cut description of what the U.S. is doing comes in this exchange between a reporter and Pentagon press secretary John Kirby\, July 6\, 2021: \n Q: Hi.  The reports from the ground in Afghanistan suggest the Taliban continue to make progress and take over more districts. And the Afghan military said they are preparing a counter strike or a movement to — to counter that. \nMy question is sort of in-between Bagram and the longer-term. Is what is the Defense Department doing in the next few weeks\, the next few months specifically to help the Afghan military conduct their — their fight against the Taliban? \n\n KIRBY: What I would tell you is\, as I mentioned on Friday\, General Miller still has all the existing authorities he had before in terms of coming to the assistance and the defense of Afghan National Security Defense Forces.\n\nWhen he transfers that command authority over in some days time to General McKenzie\, General McKenzie will possess all those same authorities as we go ahead and complete the drawdown over the summer.  So\, we — we still have the authority to assist the Afghans in the field if they need it. \nQ: Can you give some specific examples in how that might be conducted with — \n\n KIRBY: I think the way you see it — the way you’ve seen it being conducted in the past\, through — through airstrikes.\n\n
