#4 This would be the time for the world Muslim community to understand that jihad in Afghanistan has reached a significant level and it is time again to help the resistance with manpower and money.

Another damned fundraising appeal. Sheesh.

#6 as taken a heavy toll on insurgency as well as coalition forces.

What a piece of tripe. Ok, give us the raw numbers of Taliban killed and Coalition killed to include separation of international and domestic Afghan forces. Betcha when you do, you find the big numbers in the Taliban column and the next biggest in the Afghan column. However, in the usual MSM slight of hand, we see the implication that international forces are suffering 'heavily'. Wonder what they'd do if they had to earn a honest living.

#8 Steve, I like Michael Yon's work too. But the tali-b-dead is very high in recent weeks.

The Coalition puts serious hurt on them each time they pop their turbans outta the cave.

#10 I don't want to dis Michael Yon but my Landlord, who has been in Afghanistan since last November) tells a slightly different story than Yon. He says the Taliban are really taking a beating and things are going pretty well. Note: He's in Civil Affairs.
