Didn’t we just lose four soldiers in an attack there on Tuesday?

The casualties are mounting up, and no one seems to care, since Obozo is in office.

Prayers to the families.

Obama will get to the bottom of this and see that the perpetrator is held accountable.

I remember when the news networks ran a weekly spot showing the photos of all those killed the previous week. Guess that was all about politics.

Thank you for keeping us informed. If our brave military folks are just being used for fodder, and the enemy is laughing at us, why not bring our guys home? This is just more of the same outrageous evil treatment of our military. When will the American people wake up?!!

It’s obvious that Obama believes that Afghanistan is critical, so that means we need more Soldiers in Afghanistan. The only way to do that is to start up the draft with no exemptions, male and female. You get to vote, you get to reap the fun of your vote.

My nephew is in Kabul. I wasn’t too concerned, because he works for a bunch of generals, and they never seem to get hit. Now this happens.
