Major Victory for NATO

They are decapitating the Taliban's top leadership, according to Bill Roggio:

NATO and Afghan forces have struck a major blow to the
Taliban's military leadership. Mullah Dadullah Akhund, the Taliban's top
military commander, has been killed during fighting in the volatile southern
province of Helmand. "He was killed last night and right now I have his body
before me," Governor Assadullah Khalid of Kandahar province told Reuters. Governor Khalid
displayed the body to a group of reporters in neighboring Kandahar
province...

Mullah Dadullah sat on the
Taliban Shura Majlis--or executive council. He was the Taliban's most senior
military commander and reported to have been one of Mullah Omar's most trusted
advisers. Dadullah joined forces with the Taliban at its formation in 1994, but
fell out of favor "after he was accused for a bloody genocide in the central
Bamyan province."

Can you stand more good news?:

Dadullah's death may have a significant impact on the Taliban's
much heralded "Spring Offensive," which NATO has countered by launching
preemptive strikes since late winter against Taliban
positions in Helmand and Uruzgan
provinces.

Well done troops! Keep the enemy on the run and here's praying you'll be home soon!
