Illigitimate Ally Slaughters Al Qaida

Pakistan, part of what John Kerry has disparaged as our "illigitimate" coalition just added 55 al Quaida scalps to its trophy case. And, Pakistan lost 17 of its own in the battle.

Pakistani troops have ended a major operation to flush out al-Qaida suspects and their local supporters from hide-outs in a remote region near Afghanistan. An army spokesman said Monday that 72 people died, including 17 security personnel.

The United States military in Afghanistan praised the operation, but said it was not aware that any al-Qaida leaders had been captured.

That's a whole lot better than the French. Do the French even have 17 citizens in uniform?
