The military says three U.S. troops have died in attacks in eastern Afghanistan, including two killed in a firefight with militants.
A military statement says one American service member died Friday after being wounded the day before in a bomb attack in Wardak province, and two other Americans were killed in a firefight Friday in the same region.

Change the ROE first and making a decision on the strategy to win almost takes care of itself.
Headline: “Americans Die While Pres Picks A$$”
RIP.
Dittos!
There was a report this morning of 2 of our inbed soldiers being killed by an ‘afghan security force soldier’ who was actually a terrorist working for the Taliban. If Obama is not going to give our soldiers what they need to win(like a strategy and new ROE), we need to bring the troops home. Obama is quickly turning this into another vietnam by design...not ‘indecision’.
God Bless Our Military! They deserve a better CIC!
“As Rome burns” Obama dawdles.
same as V.C. within the ARVN 40 yrs ago.....screw afghanistan and PC “war”
Any Fringe Media keeping track of that?? People want and have a right to know. We need to see this total every night since this is O'loser's war now.
He should be tried for murder. This is an outrage against our troops in the field. H$ll, I would think twice about going to a hot zone. Would you?
Note that these Americans were dying, perhaps at the moment
Michelle Obama was talking about the “sacrifices” she and Okra made by winging to Copenhagen to wine and dine with the IOC, and asking the world not to pity her too much because she was there for the children
Note that July, Aug and Sept of 2009 are the highest totals since the war began and immediate following Obama changing the Rules of Engagement.
Greedo and the First Wookie Babygotbakka are too busy lobbying the IOC for a recount.
They have names.
Since July 2 Announcement of new kinder/gentler rules of engagement.
