New Battles in Eastern Afghanistan, a New Attack in Kandahar

Afghan forces and US missiles attacked positions in which fighters of Al Qaeda and Taliban are believed to be hiding. These clashes led to the killing of two of the Afghan forces. On the other hand, about 200 of the Afghan local leaders are expected to arrive in Kabul to discuss the Afghan army formation.

It seems interesting that this Arab language newspaper has pictured a female soldier as "representing" the United States...I wonder how our use of females in the military plays in the Arab world?  Is it a sign of weakness or decadent American culture?

Maybe to disgust the men and get the women to distrust all the lovey-dovey schmoozing our female journalists have been doing with their women lately?

Did you see that disgusting Sawyer piece?

I am so incredibly sick of the Opra-esque a$$-sucking we're doing with these Muslim women lately. And I'm a chick.
