The FORGOTTEN war

[Peach]

Stop using our war dead for your partisan bullshit. Hack.

I'm leaning toward Romney for president; the neglect of Afghanistan isn't partisan. Obama has not paid enough attention to the actual war in Afghanistan either. Yes, we "took out" bin Laden, and a revolving door of 2nd in command, but al Qaeda lives on. Perhaps we cannot remove Islamic extremism, but isolating them should have been a #1 priority since 2001. Not IRAQ.

Osama sure looked isolated when he was taken out. He wasn't attending Miami Heat games, that's for sure.

True, Bush did begin the process of isolating bin Laden, but successors appear, and The ISLAMIC State of Iraq now exists. I have read Iraq is now becoming a haven for extremists.

May George Bush, Dick Cheney, and their minions pay for every death, when they meet the creator:

The devil will be pleased to see them.

Who appointed you to speak for God?

So the devil is god?

Hey can any one tell me what was the exact reason behind this war.

Because Hitler lost WWII.

et al,

ISAF (US/NATO) would just as soon, not have Afghanistan in the media at all, rather than highlight news that might be embarrassing.

KABUL—The number of insurgent attacks in Afghanistan in the three months through June was 11% higher than last year, the U.S.-led coalition here said, an increase that comes after almost a year of declines and provides fuel for the debate about whether the Taliban aree regaining momentum as American forces withdraw.

Last month's average of roughly 110 attacks a day was the most in a June since the Afghan war began, according to coalition statistics released on Thursday. June had more "enemy-initiated attacks"—insurgent gun fire and rocket fire as well as detonated roadside bombs and mines—than any period since fighting peaked in August-September 2010.

Pakistani officials have temporarily shut the country's northwestern border into Afghanistan due to security concerns, following a deadly attack on a NATO truck earlier this week.

A local official in the town of Jamrud, Bakhtiar Khan, told VOA Deewa Radio Thursday that the movement of NATO supply vehicles into Afghanistan from the Khyber tribal agency has been suspended "in order to beef up security." He said the crossing would likely reopen in two to three days.

On Tuesday, gunmen in Jamrud opened fire on a convoy carrying supplies for NATO troops in Afghanistan, killing a driver and wounding at least one other person.

(COMMENT)

America would still be hearing about Afghanistan if there was any good news to be heard.
