Nope, you won't hear this news being broadcast at MSNBC or CNN and most certainly not at CBS or NBC...and you didn't read about it at the New York Times or Washington Post, did you? Hell no. The MSM in America wants to keep a tight lid on ANY good news coming from the War in Afghanistan, just like the mutherfuckers did "covering" the Iraq War. By the way, for you serious MSM watchers....I have news for you....the U.S. WON the Iraq War.
Anyway, from the article at The Long War Journal, we see how 19 key Taliban and al Qaeda leaders were exterminated from the Earth in November and December of just last year (there are four more that are listed as "detained"):
One thing to note here...we didn't kill like 12 of these clowns at one meeting with one JDAM either - as you see, these leaders were killed across a multitude of provinces. This shows the precision and hard work of our troops and those of our coaliton and NATO partners.
After the MSM has literally flooded the airwaves and internet and papers with article after article of the Taliban success in killing our CIA agents in Khost, I thought it was worthy of showing some success that WE have had. It's only fair, don't you think?
Anyway, from the article at The Long War Journal, we see how 19 key Taliban and al Qaeda leaders were exterminated from the Earth in November and December of just last year (there are four more that are listed as "detained"):
In an effort to dismantle the terror networks, Afghan and US forces have killed or detained 23 senior and mid-level Taliban, Haqqani Network, and al Qaeda leaders in eastern Afghanistan since late last year.
The joint forces killed or captured "23 key insurgents ... known for leading the planning and undertaking of deadly attacks directed towards Afghan citizens, Afghan government officials, ANSF and Coalition forces, as well facilitating the trafficking of fighters, weapons, explosives and money to support their terrorist activities," according to information released by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the NATO command in Afghanistan. The insurgent leaders were reported to have been killed or captured between Nov. 16, 2009, and Dec. 25, 2009.
ISAF has listed 19 of the 23 key insurgent leaders as being killed; the status of the other four is unknown. ISAF rarely releases the names of those in detention. Of the 19 killed, one was a senior al Qaeda security commander, four were Taliban commanders, four were Taliban sub-commanders, eight were Taliban facilitators, and two were Haqqani Network facilitators.
Of the 19 insurgent leaders killed, five were based in Laghman province, four in Kunar, four in Wardak, two in Khost, one each in Nuristan, Paktia, and Khost, and one based in both Logar and Wardak.

US, Afghan forces target insurgent leaders in the East
In an effort to dismantle the terror networks, Afghan and US forces have killed or detained 23 senior and mid-level Taliban, Haqqani Network, and al Qaeda leaders in eastern Afghanistan since late last year.
The joint forces killed or captured "23 key insurgents ... known for leading the planning and undertaking of deadly attacks directed towards Afghan citizens, Afghan government officials, ANSF and Coalition forces, as well facilitating the trafficking of fighters, weapons, explosives and money to support their terrorist activities," according to information released by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the NATO command in Afghanistan. The insurgent leaders were reported to have been killed or captured between Nov. 16, 2009, and Dec. 25, 2009.
ISAF has listed 19 of the 23 key insurgent leaders as being killed; the status of the other four is unknown. ISAF rarely releases the names of those in detention. Of the 19 killed, one was a senior al Qaeda security commander, four were Taliban commanders, four were Taliban sub-commanders, eight were Taliban facilitators, and two were Haqqani Network facilitators.
Of the 19 insurgent leaders killed, five were based in Laghman province, four in Kunar, four in Wardak, two in Khost, one each in Nuristan, Paktia, and Khost, and one based in both Logar and Wardak.
The al Qaeda security chief, known as Qari Masiullah, appears to be the most dangerous of the leaders killed during the time period. According to ISAF, Masiullah "ran a training camp that taught insurgents how to use and emplace IEDs that were used in attacks on Afghan civilians, ANSF [Afghan National Security Forces] and coalition forces throughout the Nangarhar, Nuristan, Konar and Laghman provinces."
The Taliban, the Haqqani Network, and al Qaeda remain entrenched in the Afghan East. The Taliban and allied Hizb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, are strong in Nuristan, Kunar, and Laghman provinces. US forces pulled back from several combat outposts in the remote, mountainous regions in Nuristan and Kunar, ceding ground to these groups.
The Haqqani Network controls Khost and Paktia, and also has a presence in Ghazni, Logar, and Wardak along with the Taliban. The Haqqanis are based in both Afghanistan and in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal agency. The Haqqanis are closely allied with al Qaeda.
