Already on my page. I have had to update it twice since midnight.

Tribal militia launched attacks on the American and Afghan fighters from a mosque and a village on Saturday morning, ISAF said in a statement.

The firefight happened in Nuristan province, it said without elaborating on the exact location. "The sources of the conflict in the area involve complex tribal, religious and economic dynamics," it added.

North and west Afghanistan were calm until the start of this year, but have seen a sharp security deterioration in recent months.

General McChrystal, have we shown enough "sensitivity" to the "citizens" of Afghanistan yet???

Prior to August 30, 2009, the USA has averaged 66 Military deaths per year in Afghanistan.
Since August 30, 2009 ALONE, under General McChrystal and the new Rules of Engagement established by the obama administration, the USA has lost 51 of our Finest and Best.
That is ALMOST an ENTIRE year's average in ONE MONTH!
If this continues, by year's end, we will have lost an additional 153 Troops, which is the equivalent of nearly THREE years' losses in ONE QUARTER of ONE YEAR!!!
