War

U.S. commander: More than 70 Taliban leaders killed this month - UPI.com
UPI reports: "U.S. forces killed more than 50 Taliban leaders in southern Afghanistan last week, a top commander said. Gen. John Nicholson said in a news conference U.S. Marines used rocket artillery to attack the militant leaders after tracking them to a meeting in Helmand province May 24. [...] Several Taliban governors, intelligence commanders and others in leadership were among the dead. [...] Officials said more than 500 airstrikes were conducted in Afghanistan last month, many targeting Taliban drug labs."

Comment: Have you been wondering how the war in Afghanistan is going? The Taliban are still there and so are the U.S. Marines. How about we give it another year? Maybe two?
