#1 What's the point in arresting people you've just killed? KUNA needs some help from the Grammar emergency team.

#3 I'm so depressed. We all know there are no military solutions to these situations. Here we are, trying to win a test of wills and violence by applying our will and using violence. So, so ... unsophisticated.

#4 You are correct Verlaine. Never apply force when all you really need to do is use a bigger hammer.

#5 captured and killed 246 terrorists

#6 Captured and (then) killed, maybe? Sounds like someone got ahold of the RAB counter-insurgency manual.

#7 I wish they were more specific, so these claims would appear accurate. The way this is announced, it seems everyone is counted two or three or four times.
If this is accurate, then it represents a major dent in the insurgency. Let's hope so.
