2013-03-29
A blitz of attacks across Afghanistan led to the deaths of 52 armed Taliban members in the past day, the Ministry of Interior said Wednesday.
Likely just propaganda and most of these jokers will reanimate soon but it's nice to read...
The operations were carried out by Afghanistan's national police, army, National Directorate of Security and NATO-led coalition forces, the ministry said. An additional 45 Taliban members were wounded and 21 others arrested. Authorities also confiscated ammunition and improvised explosive devices in the sweep, which spanned 10 provinces, the interior ministry said.

War is Money, how many people do you want to kill?

Wouldn't surprise me if it were true. It's said that amateurs talk tactics whereas professionals talk logistics. I'd say that professionals can talk logistics all they want, but now that it's impossible for modern armies to live off the land, it's the financiers that win wars. And there's no way that Pakistan's monetary support for the Taliban outweighs that billions that the US and India bring to the game. As long as Uncle Sam makes payroll for the Afghan government, the Taliban will slowly be whittled away.
