Four U.S. Troops Killed In Eastern Afghanistan
Another Record Set For Violence In July
Last week July set a record for deadliest month for foreign troops, with 46 killed at the time (now 55). Today, another record was set for the month, this time for US troops killed in a month with 30. With well over a week left of the month, both records are likely to continue to rise.
Today’s record was set when a roadside bomb killed four soldiersin the Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan. The number of attacks involving roadside bombs has soared in recent months, another record likely to be broken this month.
And they died so…the drug and war lords can continue with record crops and profits. So our corrupt and incompetent puppet can stay safe in Kabul. So the Taliban can continue to strengthen and al Qaeda can maintain steady recruitment as the number of “colateral damage” victims grows. Oh yeah, and for Mom, apple pie and to protect our freedom. That’s the ticket.
Interesting though in that fighting in Afghanistan has nothing to do with our freedom. What a terrible waste of our precious citizens.
And the beat goes on…
