Eight American soldiers and two Afghans have been killed in an attack on two outposts in remote eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
A tribal militia launched the attack from a mosque and a nearby village in Nuristan, one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan, the U.S. military said in a statement. The Americans and Afghans repelled the attack and "inflicted heavy enemy casualties," the statement said.
In the U.S. statement, Col. Randy George described it as "a complex attack in a difficult area." The Taliban claimed responsibility.

where was the Air Force?
NO airstrikes near “civilian” populations. “Innocent” civilians might get hurt. Haven’t you heard?
Priorities: Meeting on Air Force One for 25 minutes at the end of a five-hour visit to Copenhagen.
Very telling that McChystal showed up in camo and boots and not in Dress Uniform. Hidden messages, striking difference.
I wonder how much of that 25 minutes was Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, you know, Uh.......
McCHRYstal

Wow! Michelle is Hugh. Can she ever force a smile?
Nice to have the first couple drain a few more $100k bills to go out. Glad he’s hard at work.
FRAK OBAMA!!!

Blame this directly on 0bungle and his sicko “rules of engagement” You better believe that some of the people in the Obungle administration are laughing at these deaths. It’s part of a grand strategy for destroying America and our military
HEY OABAMA, YOU’RE KILLING OUR TROOPS! STOP THE PARTY!
Notice who is doing the talking. 25 minutes isn’t a briefing. It’s a photo op.
OMG, I will never forgive Obama for his R.O.E. and his
hate for our military.
BS, Obama is a pussy and was intimidated by the presence of a real man!
You could not be more naive
You could not be more mistaken
I cannot say Obama personally but I promise you that many in the White House and many that work for Obama are just fine with Americans getting killed unnecessarily in Afghanistan. They have exposed our troops via very restrictive rules of engagement and by not upping the troop levels as the generals have requested
In fact the motivations are secondary. You can blame 0bama directly for these rules of engagement. They are imposed by order of the Commander in Chief
Obama talked of withdrawal, that emboldened them to do this.
This is classic terrorist MO. This is what they did in those Spanish elections, this is always what tfhey do. When they smell weakness, they kill more people.
OBAMA CAUSED THIS.
agreed and it’s obvious he lacks the comprehension in the role as CIC he’s clueless and has not demonstrated his role as such.
Quinn was right.
We have elected the enemy.
Well said!
Heck with Afghanistan!
0bungle is more concerned about when Beyonce and J-Zee are going to be visiting the White House
