4 US marines killed by attacks in Afghanistan

[Spytheweb]

KABUL ? Four U.S. Marines were killed Thursday when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle in western Afghanistan, driving up Western military deaths at a pace that would make August one of the deadliest months of the war.

Civilian casualties have also been sharply rising, and a southern Afghan police chief said a U.S. airstrike had killed five farmers picking their cucumber crop at night. The U.S. military said the men were insurgents, but offered conflicting accounts throughout the day of the reason an American helicopter opened fire.

At least 15 Western troops have been killed in Afghanistan in August. Attacks killed at least 44 U.S service members and 31 from other international military forces in July, according to military reports.

i must say i don`t know whether i`m heartened or disheartened that stw is back to posting americn troop death counts as his favorite internet pastime...

apparently,it isn`t "bush" that drives his obsession....more likely his pro-jihadi sentiment or just a black hatred of the american military...or just america...

these considerations obviously outweigh the fact that this is the "good" war...."obama`s" war.....

interesting....

This is bad but this healthcare issue and Obama not just plowing it thru but instead catering to douchebags can burn a guy up. If Bush wanted this he would just take it with his majority but somehow Obama needs bipartison bullshit support. JUst plow it the fuk thru so we can get a break on health care and these rotten Insurance companies don't have a monopoly anymore..

If we are truly at war with someione then the greatest military in the world should bomb them to kingdom come. No need ever for American boots to be on the ground as walking targets. I don't care who the President is but if he can't see this then he doesn't deserve to be President.

But than would haliburton and other places make gobs of money?

We are going to produce the bombs and missiles anyway.
