1. For what reason do they even give for us still being there
Edited on Tue Sep-21-10 05:20 AM by madokie
we all know it is to steal their resources, pipelines etc but they call it something else. War on Terror, which is a failed idea to begin with as you can't war with an idealogy and win. The only win is to address the reasons for the terror to begin with but we'd never be able to do that as it would un-cloth the bastids in charge now can they?
Its getting high time for pitchforks and torches, rails to run these bastids out of town on.

3. All Americans
All Special Ops.

Nine members of the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force have died in a helicopter crash in Zabul province, southern Afghanistan.

All nine were US soldiers, it was announced later. A Nato soldier, an Afghan soldier and a US civilian were also injured, Isaf said.

The Taliban said it shot down the aircraft but Isaf said there had been no enemy fire in the area.
