[Liability]

Mullah Abdul Salam (hiding in Pakistan) of Kunduz Province = CAPTURED!

and

Mullah Mohammed (hiding in Pakistan) of Baghlan Province = CAPTURED!

See In Blow to Taliban, 2 More Senior Leaders Are Arrested - NYTimes.com

We will have to find out how important these bastards are in the big picture, but that strikes me as some damn fine work by the Pakistanis intelligence and our CIA; and once again, some props to the President.

The Quetta Shura Taliban in Southern Afghanistan

The Quetta Shura Taliban is sophisticated, resourceful, and fully-entrenched in many of Afghanistan’s southern, western, and northern provinces. Perhaps the most glaring failure of the eight-year long war effort has been underestimating the enemy in Afghanistan. The QST has demonstrated their ability to adapt, institute lessons learned, and best practices. Indeed, QST are an entirely different enemy in both form and function than they were just years ago. With designs on seizing all of Afghanistan, mirrored in historical events, it is all the more necessary to seize the initiative from this formidable foe.

This is what happens when you give the military most of what they asked for to do the job. Just imagine how successful they would be if our beloved government would just give them everything they need and let them finish the job asap.
