October deadliest month for U.S. in Afghan war

Regan-era strongly supporting those mujahideen to fight the soviets was the roots of america,nato's quagmire in afghanistan! They are not going to win this war but wasting lives,money to fight a lost war!I dont see there was any kinds of sympathy or heroic as claimed...the west created the islamic fundamentalism monsters to eat their boys!

sabi: Today, I'm with you. I heard that piece on Kazai's brother and they were saying his responsible for filling up Queens which is NOW notorious for Heroine. And yet, Kazai does what? Man, the US got played and we are still getting played.

midnightpromise: shh! you are being monitored!

Sympathy and stiff-arming from Washington.

So Bush projected stupidity, eh ?

I would like to know then what that says about the Brits, Aussies, Canadians, Germans, kiwis and NATO forces who followed us into Afghanistan...

Wayne - "Starts at the top. Mr Obama projects weakness. He really is different from Mr Bush."

You're right. Mr. Bush projected stupidity and excelled at doing so.

Time to stop campaigning and actually lead.

I don't think our community organizer in chief can cut it.

Biden is polling is even lower than Cheney.

I think we might see Billy Joe Clinton hanging around the White House more in the coming months...

Starts at the top. Mr Obama projects weakness. He really is different from Mr Bush.

Sure is different. Bush projected stupidity. Obama isn't any better, but he "projects" well.

Increased violence in Iraq, increased violence in Pakistan, increased violence in Afghanistan, increased sabre rattling from N. Korea, increased sabre rattling from Iran, US citizens held hostage in three countries, Columbia seizes a US leased gold mine, Russia bluffs the US to drop the missle shield, hummmmm, anyone see a pattern here? Nope not, me, I am a dubmocrat and can't see with my head so far up by backside.....

Starts at the top. Mr Obama projects weakness. He really is different from Mr Bush.

And while Rome burned...................

So, Obama caused these helicopter crashes, you are saying, Dick?

The trend of growing violence in Afghansistan and Iraq since Obama came to power shows his policies to be failing.

We can expect more terror attacks against our troops, with even heavier casualties with the Obama cuts in military spending.

The insurgents, they "hate our freedoms", lol!

What goes around comes around.

The big question is why are they there? I remember when the whole mess started often hearing about Karzai having worked for the CIA. And today, I saw on Reuters:

" The brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been getting regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing current and former U.S. officials. Ahmed Wali Karzai is a suspected player in Afghanistan's opium trade and has been paid by the CIA over the past eight years for services..."

Deadliest month for U.S. in Afghan War

Until next month or the month after that. I really wish the media would be a little more original in their coverage of this conflict rather than just focusing on the fact that the body count is mounting (as it always does in war).

One tiny positive from this mess is that it will - hopefully - make the GOP pause for thought before they thoughtlessly sign off on any more poorly planned wars in the future, that's assuming they ever regain power, which is doubtful.
