A series of bomb attacks have badly hit US troops in eastern and southern Afghanistan in the past 48 hours.
The death toll among in the Nato-led coalition has reached 484 this year and is predicted to far surpass 2009’s total of 521.

n two of the most deadly recent incidents, three Americans died in eastern Afghanistan on one bomb attack on Tuesday. Five died in a single bomb attack in the south on Monday.
Military spokesmen would not say if the bombs hit vehicles or foot patrols.
Homemade bombs using old shells or homemade explosives and hidden in roads, tracks, walls, streams and buildings have become the Taliban’s favoured weapon.

a UK paper reports this and nothing hardly from our biased media.
where are the anti war protesters carrying coffins?
Makes me sick that I have old military pals over there serving with crap R.O.E and this idiot in chief goes to an army base to preach his lies.
Fight this war now or get out and bomb them from the air
Gee, it almost makes you think the msm has an agenda or something.
Exactly! Where are the Code Pink folks? Where are the big anti-war rallies that we saw during the Bush years? Why isn't Cindy Sheehan camped outside the White House?
This reminds me of when Bubba Clinton was accused of rape. The silence from the feminist left was deafening.
Amen.
This list, although quite painful to see, is very necessary. We should be constantly notified/reminded of the sacrifices being made.
We should never forget that many of our finest and bravest are dying everyday.
The LSM is complicit in hiding the truth from our country and covering for this administration.
Prayers for the families and loved ones of these and all the other brave souls who have perished in this fight.
My God! :*(
Prayers going up for their families and friends! God bless and protect our military and their families! HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!
Yes, I put this ALL squarely on HolyO’s head—he LIED about ending the wars RIGHT AWAY, didn’t he? LIAR IN CHIEF.
OTPOTUS can’t be booted out of the Oval Office quick enough for me! >:-(
Wikileaks emboldenment at work.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Bomb the whole place to hell and put a giant fence around it.
Prayers up for these soldiers and for their families. My son is slated to deploy to Afghanistan in April. News like this greatly increases my anxiety (and greatly angers me since I don’t believe Obozo or the demoncRATS care one whit about these brave men and women’s lives).
Oh God —take these brave men into your folds. OIF Vet.
Think about it. What would Occam's Razor say about us being attacked and fighting two wars but not tending to our homeland defense but rather letting unknowns into the country by the million? What would Ockham say?
What in the hell is the use of having cruise missiles and B-52s (and owning the skies) if you’re not going to use them?
Just love those ROEs. No wonder the left never wants the military vote to be counted.
My daughter just left for a months long DET Sunday. I’d appreciate FReeper prayers for her safety until she’s home for Christmas.
The war was lost 11/4/2008.
Bring every last one of them home. There can no victory under the Islamist puppet POTUS.
Prayers for your daughter, and for all of our troops.
