One in, three down, many to go

Fox News has the story of some successes by the British in Afghanistan. Seems that a Taliban leader surrendered to Pakistani authorities and another leading insurgent was killed by British forces: "British forces spokesman Lt. Col. Robin Matthews said Mullah Rahim, the most senior Taliban leader in Helmand province, surrendered to Pakistani authorities on Saturday. Matthews said that British forces killed Abdul Rasaq — a Taliban leader who led fighters in the Musa Qala area of Helmand. He said Rasaq, also known as Mullah Rahim, was killed by a precision missile strike just after midnight on Sunday. Rasaq is the third senior Taliban leader killed by British forces in recent weeks... The Ministry of Defense said Bishmullah, a key strategist for the Taliban, was killed on July 12. Another senior strategist and bomb-maker, Sadiqullah, was killed in an Apache missile strike in late June."

Rico says good on the Brits; they're getting it done. Unfortunately, the Taliban are probably recruiting faster than we can kill them...
