#1 Fighting between insurgents and US-led coalition and Afghan forces in the country’s troubled east left 12 rebels dead and one US soldier slightly wounded, the US military said on Sunday.

Moderate Muslim watch. But how many Afghans actually fought, and how effective were they?

#2 Liberalhawk, I'd have to argue the Mod. Muslim categorization in this case. This is about control of the country, not whether Muslims can play nicely with others. ;-) That said, it is a positive development for the Afghans that they continue to work together on this nationhood project we've presented them with. I'll be happier when they have a Wolf Brigade of their own for the wimminfolk to swoon over, though. Nothing like all the wimmin swooning as one to get the men thinking in parallel. ;-p

#3 I count muslims fighting on our side against Jihadis, not just statements from ideological or religious types.
