Towelaban 9,000-30,000 dead. Depends on who you believe. the Afghan forces post very large numbers from every battle but I am skeptical of them. NATO Forces do not publish numbers only ranges so you add the lows and highs and it comes up about 9,000-30,0000 - sorry for the short hand.

“A senior Taliban commander who became a hero to Islamic militants for his role in shooting down a U.S. helicopter in 2005, killing all 16 special forces troops aboard, has been killed by Pakistani security forces, officials and Taliban militants tell CBS News.”

But I thought the Pakistanis weren’t fighting the Taliban?
The Pakistanis are Muslims and as all right-thinking Americans KNOW Muslims are the enemy....at least according to the Nuke Mecca bigots

“The Democrats wept over the news. And Jimmah never had a chance to give him a healing hug.”

I've been checking cnn.com over the last few days to see what they had to say about ex-President Carter meeting with and smooching with the Hamas terrorists —nada, not peep from them...bas-turds. Of course I could have just missed it since I'm still recovering from some surgery, or, as always, CNN is carrying Carter's water to protect his “legacy.”

Ping...another death in Pakistan.....they’re coming in bunches. I suspect the military wants to do some mop up before the fall election. In addition, someone in Pakistan has granted us a hunting license.

He tried to shoot his way through a Paki Army checkpoint.

And before you start calling Americans "bigots", I suggest you spend a few days in the lap of Talib hospitality, and then come back and tell us that they aren't.

Or if you prefer, just stay with them and mail it in.

Good news that would have been better if our guys had killed the bass-turd.”

The way I read this, the guy is dead. What am I missing??
