#2 I agree it's good news, but how can you tell that "we" are reaching a tipping point in Pakistan's operations?

#3 Can someone translate Taliban ranks into their rough equivalent in US Army ranks? Is 'key Taliban commander' about like a corporal? Or what?

#4 I think it's more like 'key Taliban commander' = anyone that's caught or killed.

#6 I think a "key Taliban commander" is anybody that can bring three more people to the gunfight. They might be his brothers, or his third cousins on his mother's side, but that doesn't matter. He brought them, he has some control over them, so he's a "key Taliban commander". And yeah, they've got a jillion of them.
