#1 Weve killed up to 56 Taliban, including lots of Pakistanis.

I find that quote interesting. Does it mean they counted all the bodies? I think so, othwise it would be, "We've killed about 50". The quote is both exact and vague at the same time. And I love the way he uses the word "lots" -- in a I'm-too-tired-to-bother-keeping-a-tally sort of way.
