Coalition forces in Afghanistan say around 60 Taliban militiamen drowned while attempting to cross the Helmand river, one of the country's biggest. They were fleeing military forces in the Kajaki district and had constructed a makeshift raft of tyre tubes and wooden planks.

Less bullets that we have to use.

No.... they forgot to bring Moses! :)

Guess their turbans aren’t flotation devices.

What is 60 Taliban drowned in a river?
A good start.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good news ping to others!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

The aclu will probably sue us over their loss, and the need for compensation for their families (and goats)!

Dang, too bad there is no photo to write OWNED on...

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

But . . . but . . . but . . . they told us the average depth was three feet.

Taliban having a bad day ping.

This is very good to hear. The more, the better.

[Gritty]

After all coalition forces are not permitted to disturb terrorists funerals

You mean like this one?

[rfreedom4u]

Sounds like we finally got some good news from the front. Maybe we could use a river like that on our southern border.

Amazing isn't it? I watched a video the other day and US forces had to disengage because the “suspect” who had fired an RPG at them ran into a mosque. Unfreakinbelievable.

[Tzimisce]

I’m sorry but I don’t believe this. The left has assured me that the Taliban doesn’t exist...

[mrmargaritaville]

precisely

[OKIEDOC]

Just goes to show that Islam is not a true religion as we non barbarians know religion.

Otherwise, why didn’t the Muslim Taliban terrorist just turn, doing a spinning 360 while praying and have the waters parted, allowing them to walk across safely?

Just my lowly opinion of a Red state wannabe.

[OKIEDOC]

Only if their Taliban or fringe Democrats.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks E! This resulted from the fact that the Taliban have never spent time in water. That’s also the reason they’re easy to detect...
