Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan -- The pace of American combat deaths in Afghanistan has quickened anew as roadside bombs killed five U.S. troops in 24 hours in the same western province, the American military said Thursday.

The deaths bring to 11 the number of American troops killed in Afghanistan so far in August, on the heels of what was the worst month for Western and U.S. troop fatalities since the conflict began in 2001. Forty-three American military personnel died in July.

I hate when people are dying when the ideas they are fighting for are being killed in the USA.
What so called ideals are we supposedly fighting for?

And who is allegedly killing these ideals?
Liberty & freedom .The progressive left wing political party headed by Obama [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cqN4NIEtOY]YouTube - Obama: We are 5 days from FUNDAMENTALly transforming America[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2oOoCdFblc"]Hillary[/ame], Pelosi Harry Reid, Van Jones ,Wayne Rathke,The social justice crowd

Liberty & freedom
So invading and killing people in other countries somehow gives us more liberty and freedom?

What liberty or freedoms have we gained here in America by these invasions and occupations?

I supported invading East Tampa Hamtrack Memphis and Huston more .That is the front line ,Then going to mekka.
Supposedly we are fighting them there so we dont have to fight them here, they are here already, aren't they ?
The Government doesn't know what it is doing.

Islamic fundamentalists.
 
I am puzzled?

How is a poor sheep herder in in Afghanistan going to invade the United States and take away our Liberty and Freedom ?

Even if he is Taliban.

How could he get here?
 
Are American troops being directed to target Sheep herders?
Yes

Just a day or two ago

They bombed (murdered) a large innocent family

Not the first time
Innocent? The drone dropped a 500 pound bomb on the Taliban leader in Pakistan, and killed his terrorist ass. Unfortunately, his family was in the house where he was killed. Tough shit. There is a small area just inside the Pakistan border where terrorists are holding up at. Most likely, that small area is where Osuma Bin Laden is hiding, and the drones are bombing that area hoping to get Osuma. The Pakistan government sort of has been ignoring that area forever, but may start sending in troops to seek out the alqada as well as the Taliban leaders, but they are already furnishing information that can target where the drones should drop their bombs. In the meantime, the drones will continue to drop bombs on the suspected areas where OBL may be hiding. We are making progress by killing the Taliban leader in Pakistan who was in charge of many suicide and other bombings against innocent people. Please don't feel sorry for these rogues. They are killers, and will kill you in a heartbeat.

Good work!!!!!

By murdering the whole family.

We have created a hundred more to immediately take his place.

Reminds me of our tactics in Vietnam

And we know what a success that turned out to be :cuckoo:
 
IMO, if they wish to be very successful over there, then they need to add a great many more specialty units and the general infantry numbers would have to really increase greatly. Further, it may (mosy likely) require a cross border operations, in mass.

This is not Iraq.

Violence happens to be a part of war, and in any war there are many casualties. Even in the WAR ON POVERTY, engaged over 50 years ago by the LIBERALS of this nation. Clearly if there is any DEFEAT to be declared in any war...this should be the one. As some 5 Trillion dollars has been wasted in this nation attempting to bring the poverty level down. It looks like poverty is winning, as per the words of the LIBERAS...as they require MORE, MORE, MORE ammunition be used. With that ammunition already used..5 Trillion, with a "T", only slightly moving the recorded poverty level.

What a waste of resources that is USED UP...with no change of ever recouping any of that CONSUMED monies....indeed, the WAR EFFORT appears to be the longest war ever engaged in this nation, it has all but bankrupt us. That 5 Trillion is now closer to 12, as this information was taken from archives from 15 years ago...now with the BIG SPENDING, CREDIT CARD SHOPPERS in charge of the cash...or credit register, we can expect another 10 trillion to be added on top of this.

These people are extremely tribal and all murders must be avenged.

It's a matter of both personal and tribal/ clan honor.

Him and his wife's extended family of brothers, uncles, son, cousins, etc. will be out for revenge.

In my opinion very few are Al Qaeda or have anything to do with Al Qaeda

These people have been fighting invaders since Alexander the Great.

Long, long before there was Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

They have beaten empires like the British and the Russian.

And will someday add the American Empire to the list.

Their tribal culture and personal honor is based on repelling invaders.

So they don't need Al Qaeda or anyone else to tell them what to do.
