The Arclight airstrikes were carried out in the vicinity of Marwara district of Kunar, leaving at least three foreign gunnies dead.

The 201 Silab Corps officials in the East said the Afghan Air Force A-29 fighter planes pounded the hideouts of the forces of Evil and as a result at least one hideout and a heavy machine gun of the forces of Evil were also destroyed.

#2  I don't get credit fort that bit of cleverness, Woodrow dear, much as I would like to. That comes from Fred's automatic translation engine, so originally it was one of his observations. I just highlighted the text, as usual, and clicked on Translate. Those inlines have the typewriter font and Post-It Note yellow highlight -- my comments are highlighted in periwinkle.
