#1 This so rocks. I hope the talibums decide to have an all out attack so we can clean it up once and for all.

#2 "Several extremists broke contact by using innocent Afghan civilians as shields to escape into nearby villages,"
I'm surprised that AP even reported this. Waiting for the outrage..5..4..3..

#3 Most of the militants, who were firing from hidden positions in an orchard, ridgeline and compound near Mirabad, were believed killed,

I simply adore 'happy endings.'

#4 "Several extremists broke contact by using innocent Afghan civilians as shields to escape into nearby villages," the statement said.

Old Islamic tactic.

This is why the MSM, Murtha, Kerry, and Kennedy makes such an outrage out of haditha and other 'incidents'. To tie our soldier's hands and enable the terrorists to use this type of tactic.

You don't think the MSM and the other traitors would blame the terrorists for the deaths if the civilian sheilds were killed do you? They would bring the soldiers up on charges and hail the terrorists as the good guys.

I can hear Murtha now: "Our soldiers murdered the civilians in cold blood while the militants were trying to take them out of harms way!"

#7 Anybody worked out the total raisin count for Operation Mount and Thrust? Could be time for a totaliser.

#8 In 3 weeks to June 11, about 500 Taliban got whacked, or 36,000 virgin equivalents. Probably another 3-400 in the 2 weeks since then. Afghan toll: 500 deaths in 3 weeks

#9 C'mon. Our guys were successful. CNN/Murtha/Kennedy et al will never mention this, ever.

Now if an innocent bunny, kitten or baby duck was hurt, they might.

#11 Up to 82 dead now? Must re-deploy to Okinawa before the onset of the dreaded Afghan winter.

#12 NO brainer > Democracy + Modernity [albeit not right away], versus Everlasting Repression + Regressionism + Primitivity + Honor Killings.
