Afghanistan
30 more Talibunnies killed or wounded
2007-06-08
KABUL - Afghan and international troops killed or wounded more than 30 Taleban militants in the past 24 hours, while an Afghan soldier and a policeman were killed separately, officials said on Thursday. The military operation focused on a district in the southern province of Helmand and involved warplanes from NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the defence ministry said in a statement. “More than 30 enemy elements were killed and wounded in the past 24 hours as a result of military operations and aerial poundings on enemy positions,” it said.
They keep putting their faces in the way, eventually we're going to bruise our knuckles.

#4  they don't *have* cities, they have hutments.

Now their spokescritters in London, Bruxelles and Turtle Bay, they have cities. Perhaps we can return them to the hutments where they belong.

#3  #1 How many of these idiots are there?

Tens of millions.

That is why our approach (killing 30-100 daily + arresting 30-100 daily + letting them kill 30-100 of their own daily) is insufficient. Add to that the fact they don't value life all that much. To have an affect the West must level cities and conquer their lands! That's what they care about. If they knew that for each IED a square mile of their islamic soil would be obliterated or annexed -- in a real Pavlovian way -- then they might begin to make more logical self-preservation oriented decisions.

#2  The number should really be jumping in the short term, as Iran and Pakistan are vigorously kicking out millions of Afghans, many of whom will be recruited by the Taliban.

#1  How many of these idiots are there? We kill 30-100 a day for 5 years and still haven't run out yet. We may want to look into burning Taliwackers in our powerplants as renewable power source.
