RIP

While I pray for our nation's best, I am filled with rage that we are still funding and propping up the cesspool that is Afghanistan. I also noticed that we had to receive this news from British media whereas under Bush, it would be plastered on every station and every MSM outlet would be talking about "Bush's war."

Can anybody tell me why we still have Americans as sitting ducks in that cesspool? At what point is enough enough? How many years, how many lives, how much money will be enough? I am sickened by these senseless deaths.

Your words ring true and I am equally livid.

Dear G-d, give me the strength, not to accept, but to deal with the things I cannot change.
Hold our heroes in Your arms and bring them peace.

How can a newspaper waste ink on a story like this when a pro Basketball player has just come out of the closet? Don’t they realize what is important to our society?

I’m sure zero immediately stopped whatever he was pretending to be doing to call the families immediately.

The Demorats held out Afghanistan as the good war unlike Iraq and they would run it while withdrawing from Iraq. Green on blue attack (Afghan soldiers killing Amrican soldiers) have skyrocketed. Bush's war in Afghanistan was never this bad.

it pains me deeply to say that those brave souls lost in afghanistan have been sacrificed to the president’s ego and political ambitions. candidate obama used it as a foil to defend himself against claims from republicans that he was a huge pussy on terrorism. he opposed Iraq, so he had to find some strong policy on terrorism that he was in favor of. that policy turned out to be “the good war” in afghanistan. then, he grudgingly announced the surge (and announced the withdrawal in the very next sentence) so republicans couldn’t attack him for being a liar.

since then, his policy has been nothing but a series of half measures designed to keep the lid on the thing until the next election was over.

it has been a cynical, dishonest, and immoral exercise since it was conceived.

Remaining in Afghanistan is just supporting Islamic Terrorism. Paying Karzai anything is like paying tribute

I say we stay there and get this country under control. This is what President Bush wanted and we wanted. We definitely must stay the course or the last 10 years would have been a waste. President Bush was right and we must keep that in mind. God Bless President Bush and our military.

“Two other U.S. troops died after an Afghan National Army soldier turned his weapon on them in what is commonly referred to as a “green on blue” attack, the ISAF said.”

This really makes my blood boil!

5 sacrificed on the PC alter by an IED

2 sacrificed on the PC alter by a native Afghan "turncoat".

Hell to pay for all the leaders using these brave solders as expendable "subjects" in an effort at appeasement.
