>>In the time it took to win all of WWII, we managed only
to kill one guy.
Here's what we did last month:
324 Terrorists Killed or Captured
During the past month, U.S., Iraqi and Coalition forces have
killed or captured as many as 324 members of al Qaeda, the
Taliban, or other terrorists, including senior al Qaeda
leaders and a chemical weapons expert, and captured critical
al Qaeda documents in raids.
The forces have also shut down al Qaeda hideouts along the
Afghan-Pakistani border in raids on known terrorist safe
havens, amid reports that Osama bin Laden has fled at least
one hideout while on the run.
The stunning string of victories in May would make it one of
the most successful months in the War on Terror since Sept.
11, 2001, and comes at a time when al Qaeda in Iraq leaders
have complained their organization there is teetering on
total collapse.
The shocking tally of victories is listed on the web site of
the U.S. Central Command, which has overseen the War on
Terror in both Iraq and Afghanistan for the past five years.
The victories have gone largely unnoticed in a news climate
that has focused on immigration controversies, pork barrel
government spending, and corruption scandals in Washington,
D.C., but has been among the most impressive string of
victories in the global war to date.
