#1 Okay, this is good news! But darn, I've noticed the daily numbers of Tali-turbans getting sent off to paradise dropping from 40 to 30 and now to 19.

Hmmmm, are they concealing their positions better or running out of youthful Paki idiots?

#2 Running out of youthful Paki idiots. This is natural selection in action. Unfortunately, leaving any of them alive means that only the smart ones will reproduce. Better to kill off the whole herd of "Taleban militants."

BTW, are there any "Taleban non-militants"? I doubt it.

#3 It's not a bad sign, really. Insurgencies always end in a whimper rather than a bang. Does anyone remember the "New People's Army" of the Philippines or "Sendero Luminoso" of Peru? Those commies were on the rampage 20 years ago, but now they're practically extinct. There aren't enough days in the year to celebrate the defeat of all these dungheads.

#4 Unfortunately, Sendero is making something of a comeback in Peru since the government there went after Fujimori so heavily.
