War and fighting is simply a part of this region - It is a way of life....that is going to take a decade or more to change (but even then it won't be violence free....some (msm) are trying to make that the goal-posts....Well look around here in the States. We had 19,000 murders last year alone).
Reality is the Taliban have seen three of their top leadership killed in the last 6 months...after being on the run for more then 5 years. All the momentum in Stan is on our side....virtually all the progress is on our side.....Yet the MSM would dare not suggest such (until a DEM was in office, that is).
these wars could be ended in a week if we would just recognize the enemy and destroy most of it
but that takes more than most PC’d leaders are willing to do
In the meanwhile: The Gouvernor of the Province said that he has informations that other suicide bombers are ready to fulfill their bloody "duty". And, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
I’m sorry to hear this, Michael. Prayers for these soldiers and their families.
It is so ironic, but Afghanistan is where even our most cautious allies, such as Germany, and Americas sworn enemies, such as france and the dumbocratic party have claimed the battle should be waged. But it has only been due to the Iraq conflict that Afghanistan has been so passified to date. Be careful what you wish for. If Iraq is abandoned there will be such hell to pay in Afghanistan, the West will surely fall there.
