In fact 41 Taliban butts were terminated. They had gathered in preparation for an attack. Coalition forces took advantage of the fact they were all on one place made the first move. They of course tried to run but not before we got 41 of em. Now thatÂ’s a swift kick in the hindquarters if I ever saw one.
AP via Yahoo News : "Acting on intelligence reports that Taliban have gathered in Sangisar to plan an attack in Kandahar, we launched this operation Friday and the fighting continued from morning to evening," he said.
Khalid said security forces were pursuing Taliban fighters who fled to a nearby village. He said security forces had seen the bodies of 41 rebels but had only retrieved 11.
AH-64 Apache helicopters provided by coalition forces fired rockets to support Afghan forces on the ground, said U.S. military spokesman Lt. Mike Cody. He declined to comment on casualty figures.

The Taliban and the Afghan fighter are hyped as fierce and tough fighters. The only times they seem fierce and tough is when they are winning. Were we not supplying the Afghan resistance during the USSR occupation they would have performed as badly as this current group performs.
I recall one commentary section discussion. IIRC it was in the Belmnont Club. A guy said the typical Afghan fighter shoots like they drive. They point the gun in the general direction of their target, shoot, and Inshallah (If God wills) they hit their target. No aiming just point and pull.
On one of the History channel/military channel channels I was watching a narrative on an attack launched during the October/November/December '01 thumping of the Taliban and things were not going well but they were not bad either. Who were the first to turn tail and run? Yeap, the Afghans. It took one of our guys to stand up and lead a charge against the Taliban defenses. Fortunately the show of bravery turned the tide and our team carried the day.

Marcus: Very similar to what went down in France when we rescued them from the German occupation! Bravo Americano!

One of the greatest jobs in the world beside novelist and pro athelete must be counting dead islamofacist shitbaggs.

Wow, I bet they're taking this news badly over at kos and Dumbass Underground, especially since the both wars are going our way.
Also, regarding the fighting abilities of muslims in general; they only tend to do well when they surprise women and children, as muslims are gutless cowards who have to be stoned off their asses to stay put and fight, for all the good it does them.
