#1 The Talibs have made a concerted effort to hold this region. We have killed hundreds in the last three months in one pitched battle after another. They appear to believe that they can win by fighting us toe to toe. The Afghan Army has done quite well in these battles though without our air support it would be a much tougher fight.

In summary, we're killing them in droves on their battlefield, in their fight and at the time of their choosing. Can't beat that with a stick!

#2 Dying for a benighted strip of dirt seems to be their prime tradition, followed closely by misogyny, illiteracy, disease and corruption.

#3 Sounds like they are down to the dumbasses and derelicts at this point. All the village idiots that they gathered throughout the region as a last resort, while the big shots hide in a cave somewhere in another country.

#4 The wizened village elders that nobly chose to stay behind so the young bucks could die in the way of jihad will have their pick of the comeliest maidens for their four wives.

#5 I keep saying this isn't war, this is bowling. The Talibunnies simply can't go toe-to-toe with our guys, not even with the ANA, and they're proving it.
