#2 Wow. Think how happy all the islamists are that their terrorist sons are headed to heaven. If Islam is a religion, they should thank us. If it is a political system, they wouldn't like that at all.

#3 Someone should be fired at coalition forces headquaters: allowing coliation team to be beaten 120 to 11 by the Afghan team deserves a sacking.

#4 So, police kills and coalition forces arrest? Looks like somebody sent the memos at the wrong addresses again!

#6 Moose, I'm beginning to think the whole Tora Bora thing was overblown.

I've got 63 Talibs killed 8/31-9/2. It appears that CJTF-82 has elected to join MNF-I in reporting enemy losses.

There's little doubt that the ANP and the Afghan Army are racking up their own toll of dead Talibs, as well. Grain of salt on the totals, but I would say that Afghans are perhaps the fiercest fighters we have ever worked with in this sort of situation.

#7 This keeps up and Chuck is going to need some more beads on his abacus.

#8 While dead Taliban are always a good thing, at day's endeven if we kill every last one of themAfghanistan will still remain an Islamically governed nation. This is an unacceptable outcome for the massive cost extracted in both human lives and financial treasure. It is abject stupidity that the West should sacrifice so much only to leave behind another terrorist hive.
