Deadly Taliban fighters...

Are mostly just gonna end up dead.
-- ARGHANDAB, Afghanistan -- Afghan and Canadian forces moved into villages in the Arghandab district outside Kandahar on Wednesday to root out Taliban militants, killing at least 36 insurgents, the Afghan Defence Ministry said.

Also, 12 insurgents were killed in Maiwand, another district in Kandahar province, the ministry added.

Canadian and NATO officials disputed claims that insurgents had gained control of a number of villages. Alliance officials said Taliban strength in the area had been greatly exaggerated.
Yeah... who coulda seen that coming?
