The soldiers, most likely Army Delta Force and Green Beret commandos, hide in foxholes and caves during the day, emerging at dusk to scour the Afghan moonscape for evidence of their quarry. Some of the commandos are believed to speak the predominant local languages, Pashtu and Dari. Their goal, says a Pentagon official, is to "get bin Laden--not get bogged down...
