You know, when American and NATO forces spend over a week in a concerted operation in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan and kill more than 100 Taliban, you'd think you would find that story in a lot of American news outlets...well, not so. You see, the American press never wishes to acknowledge ANY kind of success of our military so this report had to come out of Pakistan, from DAWN.

From the article:

Nato says at least 115 insurgents have been killed in ongoing operations in a northeastern Afghan province known for being a hotbed of foreign militant fighters.

The US-led alliance said on Thursday the fighting in rugged Kunar province near the Afghan-Pakistani border has been going on since around October, 15.

Nato says the coalition and its Afghan partners have killed at least 115 insurgents over the past week to 10 days.

It says Nato and Afghan forces have been involved in a ”series of multiple, smaller operations that have a combined, larger impact.”

We, of course, have seen this all before. When things were going bad in the Iraq War the MSM in America was all over the war....they had reporters embedded, they had nightly tallies of dead American troops...but after the Surge kicked in and our valiant American soldiers and Marines started retaking Fallujah and Ramadi, after we started WINNING, the MSM moved out - they had to get out of Iraq quick because they couldn't risk the chance of showing American troops kicking some ass.

Nato: East Afghanistan fight kills 115 militants


KABUL, Afghanistan: Nato says at least 115 insurgents have been killed in ongoing operations in a northeastern Afghan province known for being a hotbed of foreign militant fighters.

The US-led alliance said on Thursday the fighting in rugged Kunar province near the Afghan-Pakistani border has been going on since around October, 15.

Nato says the coalition and its Afghan partners have killed at least 115 insurgents over the past week to 10 days.

It says Nato and Afghan forces have been involved in a ”series of multiple, smaller operations that have a combined, larger impact.”

The operations come as the alliance has stepped up its efforts elsewhere in eastern Afghanistan with sights set on the feared Haqqani network, an al Qaeda linked group that operates out of Pakistan.
