'U.S. troops have killed as many as 30 insurgents after calling in air strikes to repel a Taliban attack on their outpost in southeast Afghanistan on Saturday, it was revealed today.

Five US troops were wounded in the attack when the base in Paktika province came under fire from rocket-propelled grenades, gunfire and mortars, military sources said. Rising violence and record casualties among foreign troops and civilians are likely to weigh heavily on U.S. President Barack Obama's review of his Afghanistan war strategy in December and at a NATO summit in Lisbon next month.

A spokesman from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said: 'Insurgents attacked from all directions with rocket-propelled grenades, small arms and mortar fire. Initial operational reporting indicates more than 30 insurgents were killed in the failed attack.'. U.S. Army Major Patrick Seiber, a spokesman for the ISAF regional command in the east which includes Paktika, said at least 19 insurgents had been confirmed dead. NATO-led forces were checking the area for more dead and wounded.

Afghan army general Zemarai, who has only one name, earlier said the bodies of at least 15 insurgents were seen lying on the battlefield after the attack.'

There is a growing shortage of virgins in paradise.

That’s just 20 less than quota, but 30 is a good start.

[prairiebreeze]

What, no wedding party??

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Nope...still a lot of virgin goats there!

[USMCPOP]

“Get Some!”

That’s what one of the wounded said about the ambush when we lost our four Marines. They were doing that. I think the 1/23 and the 3/1 Marines who followed up “got some”. What goes around comes around.

[USMCPOP]

Excuse me, I meant the 3/25.

[rlmorel]

Good. Best news I have heard today. How are you, USMCPOP?

[SC_Pete]

LOL Iforgot that it’s in the Koran: “He got my goat.” or “You get my goat” or “Go on, rock the goat” and “Goat is Great”.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

These guys wanted a “trick” so we gave them a “treat”. Not quite the kind of candy they wanted, but what the hell, where they’re going, they aren’t going to need to stinkin’ candy, only asbestos underwear.

Air strikes, gotta love them. Just wish we had napalm to cover the whole area so that no one would get away. Crispy critter time - again.

[metmom]

I love happy endings....
