#1 OUCH! That is quite a body count for the taliwackers. How long before they are completely combat inefficiant?

#2 The coalition should make taking care of their bodies a big once-a-month affair, and the line of caskets should get all kinds of press coverage. Make a big production-line thing out of it. Land a couple of C5s in Pakistan and meet them with a fleet of forklifts where they haul palletload after palletload off to semi trailers for transportation to a mass grave because their names are unknown. Might drive the point home better that way.

#3 Dick Durbin signed their death sentence. No Gitmo means no taking prisoners. Democrats wanting to save the terrorist's lives, actually ended up killing them. It was all a Jedi mind control thingy planned by Rove.

#4 They've always been combat inefficient.
How many wounded with that 600 dead ?
Also, and more importantly, how many have gone back to poppy farming or fishing.

#5 Few wounded I think. I haven't heard of many prisoners being taken.

#6 I just wonder how long it will be until we give up the euphamisms and say "More than 600 suspected Taliban Pakistani militants..."

#7 Wait a minute. 40 a day into a total of 600 is 15 days. What were they doing the other 30 days?

#9 Observing the appropriate islamic cultural traditions for so many dead muz.

We gotta be sensitive, don't you know.

#10 Plant them in the suspected poppy fields near the alleged suspected borders.

#11 Don't forget, the Taliban take a lot of dead bodies with them when they retreat. This number may well only be those they dropped along the way because they had too many to carry. And, this only counts those who died in combat since June 10th as a result of Op. Mountain Thrust (bad, bad punster!). Lots of others died elsewhere, I'm sure.

#12 Dead jihadis
Dead jihadis
Dead jihadis aren't much fun

They don't heed
The mullah's call
They don't blow up things at all
Dead jihadis aren't much fun
(oh no no)

They won't fight, they won't seethe
They'll play dead,
'cause they don't breathe
Dead jihadis aren't much fun

Dead jihadis
Dead jihadis
Dead jihadis aren't much fun.

A jihadi died late last Fall
He's still lying
in the hall
Dead jihadis aren't much fun
(no no no)

Mom cheers jihadi's days are through
he'll never kill
another Jew
Dead Jihadis aren't much fun

Dead jihadis
(dead dead dead)
Dead jihadis
(dead dead dead)
Dead jihadis aren't much fun.
