Bam! This is the kind of death tally we've been looking for from Afghanistan! Afghan and NATO forces killed 41 Taliban in southern Helmand province of Afghanistan and believe me, I can't wait to see video of this. Apparently the coalition forcs caught a large group of Taliban traveling south towards the Pakistan border and they were traveling by motorcyle. The coalition forces utilized air support for much of the battle and tell me you aren't just drooling to see what Apaches, Cobras, and fighter jets did to these ragheads traveling on their scooters!
I don't think we can attribute this huge kill to the newly landed Marine troops in Afghanistan but it should send a signal to the Taliban that the U.S., NATO and Afghan forces are on the offensive and will not let up. I'm hoping we have daily reports of these kinds of body counts.
Here's the full story from Yahoo.
