Over the past two weeks, U.S. troops in Afghanistan have conducted their deadliest operations in a year against suspected Taliban forces infiltrating from Pakistan and attempting to regain power, according to the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. As many as 200 enemy fighters have been killed since the operation in the southeastern part of the country began Aug. 25, Army Lt. Gen. John Vines said. That is twice the number of casualties that had previously been reported. The operation has resulted in more enemy killed in action than any operation in a year, said Col. Rodney Davis, a spokesman.
And you’d never know about it reading the "major" media.
The U.S. military said that at least 84 enemy fighters were killed Saturday in the southern province of Zabul. Officials said Sunday that hundreds of Afghan troops are preparing for a new offensive.
Cool, keep the pressure up.
| Haqqani and Mansoor are reputed to be leading the Talibs. They're renowned jihadis — though Lord knows what they're renowned for. It can't be actually winning battles or inflicting casualties on an enemy. Perhaps it's their piety. |
