A suicide attack at a Nato base in central Afghanistan injured 89 people, including 50 American soldiers.

JALALABAD: A suicide bomber driving a truck attacked an advance Nato combat post in central Afghanistan, wounding 89 people including 50 American soldiers, the United States Army said Sunday.

The Taliban claimed responsibility on their Internet site for Saturday’s attack, news of which came as the world marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in the United States.

US Army spokesman Major David Eastburn said: “It happened at 5:15 pm on Saturday.

“It detonated near the entry oint at a combat outpost, resulting in 89 wounded in action and a 20-foot hole in the wall.”

You evacuate the friends first.

We would, however the scum in Afghanistam, Pakistan, Iraq etc wouldn't consider it. They'd take out 100 of their own to kill one American. We've become far to politically correct. I agree with your philosophy somewhat but I'd go much bigger. We should have annihilated Afghanistan from the start and made most of it uninhabitable with a stern warning to anyone else who tries something similar.

Suicide is when you want to take your own life.

Homicide is when you want to take the lives of others.

MOHAMICIDE is when you want to do both because you are COMMANDED to do so by an illiterate child molesting lying murdering thieving demon possessed 7th century offspring of satan!

Hold EVERY member of the mosque where Johnny Jihad attended responsible for their supplying AID AND COMFORT (Not to mention Cover and Concealment) to the ENEMY!

So, it was a failed attack. The man stupidly wasted his life for nothing but a propagandist headline.

Having difficulty posting to this thread (it is not your fault, nor anyone elses' here), while asking God to grant vengeance, though knowing God said, Vengeance is Mine.

Sometimes I too want vengeance. Forgive me God, for I want those who harm our Daughters and Sons to be annihilated, and yes, Lord, I would think not of what innocents would be in the way. Asking for forgiveness, Lord. All the while, wanting vengeance.

Ditto. There is no way to “play WAR”. To win any war you must destroy the enemy’s will to fight. This can be done by destroying the enemy, their ability to wage war, or the cause for which they fight. This is why the firebombing in WWII, we were not able to destroy the enemy armies at the time so the allies destroyed their homeland (this would be mecca and medina). This is why we went after the factories and resources that fed the war machine of the enemies (today this would be mosques and oil money). This is also why we should drill baby drill and end their money and our dependence on enemy energy.

This is also, right or wrong, why the internment camps. So we would not have the enemy in our midst. If we can prevent Boeing from moving to South Carolina, we can bring American Tech home from overseas.

Total war means using the weopons at your disposal to achieve victory (provided you want victory, and not just cover for undermining America).

Let’s be grateful that no Americans were killed.

When we leave Afghanistan, we should be sure they understand that if another attack on us like 911 is launched from there, we will use nuclear weapons, despite the lack of worthy targets.

The number of Americans wounded has now risen to 77.

“A massive bomb blast at a US-run military base in troubled eastern Afghanistan has wounded at least 77 American soldiers, NATO says”

It is time to bring ALL our military home. Let the rest of the world deal with these insane cult wackos muzzies.

We either shoot to take them out or it’s past time to bring our boys home. Either fight to win or get out of the ME altogether.


Yes. The Left is turning this into Viet Nam all over again. They love the ideology and oppression of our emenies and hate our constitution, our country and our soldiers. American life is cheap to them.

Not to me. One precious American soldier sacrificed at the altar of Marxism’s betrayal and insanity is too much or me. When the Army allowed the openly jihadist Hansan to murder those Fort Hood soldiers, I knew it was time to pull our soldiers out of harm’s way in the Middle East. Our elite can not be trusted with their lives just like they can no longer be trusted with our freedom.

Tell that to the wounded. Many could have lost limbs, their hearing, their eyesight, etc.

Fifty wounded soldiers is a big f'ing deal.

Perhaps you are looking at the picture upside down.

It is the liberal moonbat elite who must go, be gone, removed from any say. So long as they continue to exist as enemies worse than those radical Islamist, America is in peril. We must strive to destroy than and what they stand for.

Your advocacy of giving up is surrender

Afghanistan as a culture is hopeless. They will always be what they’ve always been.

Right on the money, and perfectly stated.

So what do we do about the Afghanistan situation? We have got to get the hell out of there, but do we just up and leave? It is starting to look that way, isn't it?

I suppose you are simply venting your feelings

Feelings is what I'd say your post is founded in.

What needs to be faced is that we're at war with a religious ideology ... that war is hell ... that many, many people will die as a result.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly! This highest elite can not be trusted!

If these very highest officers can NOT see that there is a problem with Obama’s natural born citizenship then they are either stupid or evil. ( We know they are not stupid.)

A few questions:

When did overlooking usurpation of the office of Commander in Chief, identity theft, multiple social security numbers, FORGERIES of birth documents, and criminal election fraud become part of the military code of honor?

Is this how they uphold their oath to defend the Constitution?

Is having a fraud in the Red House ( oops! White House) with access to all of our most sensitive secretes how these perfumed pussy cats look out for the brave and honorable men and women serving under them?

Is overlooking crimes in the chain of command part of the military code of honor now taught in our military academies?

Where is the evidence that these highest ranking weenies sought peaceful and lawful clarification of Obama’s questionable natural born citizenship and other likely activities with congress and the courts?

Well....We know the answers to these questions. Unfortunately, the highest military has made certain that any lower level officer that asks these questions is crushed like a bug.

In addition to that, Afghanistan as a culture is hopeless.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They said that about Japanese culture. It seems they had an attitude adjustment.

The question is, what do we do about Afghanistan?

I wouldn't be against nuking it, either.

77 soldiers now.

It’s hard to imagine a blast wounding 77 men and killing none.

I think the death toll might be being suppressed today. This sounds horrific.
