In the eyes of dimbulbs like John Kerry and Jack Murtha, it is 9 less terrorists to terrorize Iraqi citizens.
The US losses were probably the result of an ambush that started the battle. Waiting for word on Taliban losses, which are hopefully heavy.
Think it is time to turn North Waristan into a parking deck.
Hey Walter Cronkite! This is your Tet-offensive cue to re-emerge and call for an allied surrender.
Besides a friendlier regime in Pakistan, the Taliban benefit from a recent influx of foreign jihadis fleeing the rout of terrorist forces in Iraq. It is likely as well that the latter have brought their financial and western ideological and propaganda support with them.
Expect the left-liberals in this country to drop their phony bait-and-switch support for the Afghan operation and return to the full-blown defeatism sedition that characterized their position before the Iraq invasion.
For example, note that the NYT characterizes the Afghan operation with the leftist weasel-word “intervention,” even though we went into Afghanistan in response to a direct attack on our own soil by forces aligned with, and harbored by, the Taliban.
Prayers for these brave young men and for their families. May God give them strength and comfort in the coming days.
This war against Islam is not over. This sad news reminds us of our duty to support our troops in every way.

Last update I saw (3 hrs. ago) was 10...
We need to let Pakistan know they must do something drastic in a certain amount of time or that we will. Unless the militants in Pakistan are done away with the war will not end.
Help these men to know of our love and appreciation for them. We pray for Your comfort and peace upon their families and for Your help in securing a lasting victory against these terrorists. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Just Napalm the area first, then we’ll think what to do with it.

Crap.
Exterminate all these Talibani cockroaches so badly that not even Keith Richards could survive!
The commander in Afghanistan had just recently asserted they needed more support, Reid and Pelosi are not supporting the Military, but they have no problem last year passing legislation for illegal immigration amnesty in an instant.
May God hold their souls. May God bless their families.

What would the proper word be?
“What would the proper word be?”
“Operations,” “military action,” “war” even “invasion,” would all be accurate. “Intervention” is a loaded term implying that it was really someone else’s fight and we had no real warrant or direct cause to be there.
It is a weasel word though because one can ignore this connotation and point out that we did in fact intervene in the conflict between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. This would only be in the same sense that we “intervened” in the existing Sino-Japanese conflict after Pearl Harbor, however.
