#1 Just how many "commanders" do these Taliban have? Can anyone just proclaim themselves to be a "commander"? It seems we have killed dozens, if not hundreds of these guys since we first went in there.

I would hope they are getting close to the bottom of the barrel in both experience and competence.

#2 If you control the actions of at least two others, you're a "commander" as far as the talibunnies are concerned. Still, the more we wipe out, the better chance the stupid shall inherit the position - by default.
