From what I understand, the attackers destroyed 8 out of 10 Harriet Jets at the base.
Quite a victory for their side.


We lost 8 Harriers and the Squadron Commander,

Worst combat loss of aircraft since Vietnam 40 years ago.

Obama’s Rules of Engagement have lost the war for us in Afghanistan. The Obama worshiping media has refused to publicize that our combat losses in Iraq and Afghanistan doubled overnight the day after Obama was sworn in and have continued at that pace throughout his term in office.

We actually had lower casualties during the early days of heavy fighting than we have had with the peace time occupation under Obama.

As soon as Obama took office reporting on the war and the number of troops killed and wounded ceased despite the fact that death rate actually doubled under Obama due to Roes and mismanagement of the war effort, kind of the homeless problems disappear when a Democrat takes office.

quite a difference

Actually, the war reporting ended almost to the day that Bush introduced the surge.

From that time in '08, the media knew we had won in Iraq; they switched almost immediately to the economy and from that point on they drove the markets down to collapse.

However, you are correct that since numbers of killed and wounded started back up after Obama's election we have heard virtually NOTHING about numbers.
