US regional military commander General David Petraeus on Wednesday called Washington's fight against terrorism in Afghanistan "successful," even if Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has not been captured....
Petraeus said that even if bin Laden remains at large, "as a result of some of those efforts significant numbers of top 20 extremist leaders have of course been killed, and in some cases captured and removed from the picture."
Addressing the issue of efforts to train sufficient number of Afghan troops to succeed the United States ahead of an eventual troop pullout...
"It's very important we train as many as we can, as quickly as we can, without rushing to failure. Quantity does have a quality of its own but only if it has a reasonable quality as well," the general said.

Significant numbers of top 20 extremist leaders?
Quantity has a quality of its own, but only if it has quality?
Must be some really good stuff.
