US Citizens Killed In Afghanistan
Eight Americans have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in south-eastern Afghanistan, US officials say.
The suicide bomber was wearing an explosive vest as he carried out the attack at a forward operating base in Khost province, CNN reported.
Details about the attack are still emerging and it was not clear how many people had been injured.
One unnamed US official was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying that all of those killed were civilians.

and? Washington post what?
I recently came back from a year over there as a civilian. I'd wager that you are probably correct.
What kind of senseless reply is that?
If you insist on acting like an obnoxious noob, do it on another thread.
Maintain some respect on threads like this. Eight innocent people have lost their lives working for their country in a hostile land.
Welcome home!
Something similar happened in Mosul, December '04. Very, very sad.
I'm likely headed to Afghanistan in the spring (civilian.) They're calling for quite a few civilians there these days.
I'm probably headed back over sometime in the New Year as well. Stay safe!
Your response was this! What kind of senseless reply is that?

I am not a child nor are you in charge of me,this thread or free republic. There was no disrepect in what I posted to you. YOU made a statement and I wanted clarification as to what you meant.
I do not disrepect our military or our country. And I do not post to freerepublic members who ask for a clarification.
Your post could have meant the story was wrong or the stories were being released to get to Obama because you said they don't release this information.
How dare you impugn my integrity over asking you for a reponse.
And I do not post to freerepublic members who ask for a clarification in your hot headed manner.
You too! Maybe our paths will cross. I've met a few FReepers in the "other" war zone and it's always been a pleasant experience.
Happy New Year!
You seem to have some issues. I hope you are able to get on better footing in the new year.
Get over yourself, my dear. It might help. :)
You do not know me at all. Do not presume you do.
If you have a problem with my posts perhaps just ignore me as I will you.
Your obnoxious noob post to me was uncalled for. Just because you have been a member longer does not mean you have the right to insult members.
Anymore of your responses will be ignored unless you want to go private with more insults.
LOL - actually, I do have that right. Read the First Amendment.
You have become tiresome. I urge to you learn some manners and with that, I am finished with you.
...unless you want to go private with more insults.
Not my cup of tea, my dear.
Think you for your comments. My heart goes out to them also. Take care.
