KABUL, April 30 (Reuters) - U.S.-led coalition troops have killed scores of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan over the past several days, the coalition said on Monday.

Backed by air support, the Taliban were killed in two separate battles in the western province of Herat, which lies near the border with Iran and has been relatively safer until recently compared to the southern and eastern areas where the Taliban are largely active, it said in a statement.

I love hearing the number of KIA increase, and the number of prisoners decrease...

NOW - I’d really be happy to see the enemy KIA reports reach some meaningful numbers in the THOUSANDS, even 10’s of THOUSANDS....WEEKLY.

Does this mean the Arab Islamist threat to launch a Spring offensive to kill the infidels is -—— off?

Or - was the threatened offensive planned to simply commit suicide by infidel?

136 more a-holes killed times 72 virgins per a-hole killed ...that’s 9792 more virgins. I gotta figure that the pick of the virgin litter must be about all used up.

It amazes me that these idiots have yet to figure out that virginity doesn’t last long. One trip down the path and they are has beens. 72 virgins soon become just a bunch of naggings wives. How is that paradise??
