KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — NATO and Afghan forces killed more than 200 suspected Taliban guerrillas with air strikes and artillery fire in a major offensive in a volatile province in southern Afghanistan, the alliance said Sunday.
A statement said four soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force also died and seven were wounded in the fighting in Panjwayi district, about 10 miles from the city of Kandahar.
The casualty counts could not be independently confirmed because the government ordered vehicles to stay off roads leading to the area and reporters were unable to gain access to the battle zone. There was no indication of bodies being taken to local hospitals.
"Reports indicate that more than 200 Taliban fighters have been killed since Operation Medusa began early Saturday morning," the NATO force said in a statement.

Waiting for Democrats to jump in front of TV cameras to condemn this in favor of cut-and-run and/or surrender.

200 ragheads killed? Has a nice feel when it rolls off your tongue, doesn't it?

The NY Slimes are deeply saddened. They picked the wrong winner when they announced the Taliban's awesome Spring offensive.

Reuters newswire is currently reporting "scores of Taliban" killed, while the Houston Chronicle online reports "89 killed." Just so long as it's a plethora of them.

200? That's enough to fill an average size airliner.

Reuters newswire is currently reporting "scores of Taliban" killed, while the Houston Chronicle online reports "89 killed." It will be interesting to see who is correct. Of course Reuters can always claim that scores is anywhere between 3 and two million.
The gave the name of the operation on Fox News but I didn't catch it.
Wait - Fox news again - according to NATO MORE than 200 Taliban killed.
