7 US Troops Among 9 NATO Dead in Afghanistan (Deadliest IED attack in 18 months)
Edited on Fri May-27-11 01:18 AM by GSLevel9
unfortunately this thread will probably sink faster than teh Titanic...

Nine NATO service members were killed Thursday in Afghanistan, including seven U.S. troops among eight who died when a powerful bomb exploded in a field where they were patrolling on foot, officials said.

"Two months ago, we cleared this area of terrorists, but still they are active there," Raziq said.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast.

"A bomb was planted for them in a field," Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told The Associated Press in a telephone call.





Any editorial on my part would simply be silly.

4. Who are the terrorists?
Seems to me that foreign invaders are. The U.S. exports terror wherever we go. Financial terror, military terror.

7. Killing and dying in unnecessary wars had become an American pastime.
We lost. Get out. Get over it.
