| These fuel convoy attacks probably cost a lot of money each time a tanker explodes. After all, freedom isn't free............. |

Bomb kills US-led soldier in Afghanistan
| Quote: | A bomb attack has killed a US-led soldier in southern Afghanistan, bringing the death toll of US-led soldiers in the war-torn country closer to 600 so far this year.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement on Sunday that an improvised explosive device blast left the US-led soldier dead in the war-torn country.
ISAF did not identify the soldier's nationality, AFP reported.
The incident comes as the number of attacks against Western troops in Afghanistan has soared significantly in the past months amid a public outcry against the prolonged war in the country.
The death brings to 599 the number of foreign soldiers who have lost their lives in the Afghan war this year. The figure is the highest annual toll since the start of the US-led invasion of the country nearly nine years ago.

NATO tanker set ablaze in SW Pakistan
| Quote: | Militants in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan have blown up a fuel tanker bound for the US-led NATO forces stationed in neighboring Afghanistan.
The attack came on Friday, when unidentified gunmen destroyed at least two NATO supply tankers in Balochistan.
Elsewhere, near the provincial capital of Quetta, militants sprayed a NATO truck with bullets. At least one person was killed by the gun fire which also left another injured.
NATO's supply lines have come under frequent attacks in northwestern Pakistan over recent weeks as anti-US sentiments brew in the lawless tribal region through which the bulk of the shipment to the US-led forces passes.
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistani militants, who usually claiming responsibility for such attacks, have intensified attacks on convoys carrying supplies for the US-led forces.
The pro-Taliban Pakistani militants argue that the assaults are in retaliation for non-UN-sanctioned US drone attacks and airstrikes inside Pakistan's tribal region.
The stepped up attacks have left NATO no other choice but to seek alternative routes, including through Central Asia, to provide fuel, military vehicles, spare parts, clothing and other non-lethal supplies for the foreign militaries trapped in the prolonged war in Afghanistan.

5 US troops wounded in Taliban attack
| Quote: | At least five American soldiers have been injured during a Taliban attack on a military base in Afghanistan's Paktika province, bordering Pakistan, NATO says.
According to a NATO statement, Taliban militants targeted the base in Bermal district of the eastern province early on Saturday by rocket-propelled grenades, gunfire and mortars, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The statement added that the US-led forces repelled the attack, killing more than 30 militants.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid also told Reuters by telephone that the militants had attacked the base, claiming that six police outposts had been ruined in the raid.
Taliban militants had caused "high casualties" on US-led and Afghan forces, he said without giving further details. He also confirmed the death of eight Taliban members.
Earlier, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said that another US-led soldier was killed in an attack in southern Afghanistan on Friday.
The latest death brings to 608 the number of NATO troops killed in the war-torn country so far this year compared to 521 for 2009, AFP reported.
The security situation remains fragile in Afghanistan despite the presence of 150,000 US-led foreign forces in the country.
As casualties have risen in Afghanistan over the past few months, the Western public is growing increasingly tired of the war and mounting casualties.

Check out this piece of honesty by Jeremy Scahill on Democracy Now!:
| Quote: | JEREMY SCAHILL: Well, look, I mean, you know, General David Petraeus is like, you know, living in Oz, when he’s speaking—you know, holds these press conferences about how they’re clearing out Kandahar, they’re—you know, they’re taking the battle to the heart of the Taliban. The Taliban are winning. They’re winning. Their numbers are growing. They don’t need to go to the negotiation table with the United States. They’re defeating the United States military in Afghanistan right now. When we talk to Mullah Zaeef, when we talk to a Taliban commander on the ground, they’re saying, you know, "We’re different from you. We have ideology. You can’t figure out how to define victory. Victory for us is two things: freedom or martyrdom. And if we die in the cause of freedom, we’ve won." So, the point is that these guys are saying, "We’ve never heard of something called the Quetta Shura," as Mullah Zaeef said to us. "That’s something that you created in the American media. We have shuras, or meetings, all the time, in Peshawar, in Quetta. Maybe Mullah Omar is walking around Afghanistan. You have no idea. We’re ghosts to you." And that’s what this Taliban commander from Kunduz that we interviewed said. He’s like, "We’re like ghosts. You can never see us. And then, all of a sudden, boom, your vehicle is blown up."
I mean, the reality is, the Taliban are not in a position where they’re being forced to the negotiating table. If anything, it’s the US that’s being forced to try to find a way out of Afghanistan, because the Taliban are gaining strength. And there’s other groups rising up that aren’t even under the control of Mullah Omar. The insurgency is spreading. We talked to the former foreign minister for the Taliban, Muttawakil, and he said, what you’re seeing is classic guerrilla insurgency right now in Afghanistan. It’s starting in the rural areas. It’s spreading to the smaller cities. It’s going into the district centers. And eventually it’s going to hit the capital city. And he was saying that this is all the making of the Americans. The Taliban will negotiate with the Afghan government, if the US leaves. That’s what we heard. |

NATO plane goes down in Afghanistan
| Quote: | A NATO plane has crashed in the eastern Afghan province of Khost following a number of similar coalition aircraft accidents.
Reports say the reconnaissance plane crashed due to technical malfunction. However, officials said the cause of the crash has yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, NATO says one of its soldiers has lost his life in a militant attack in southern Afghanistan. The nationality of the soldier and the exact location of the incident have not been released.
The death brings to 608 the number of foreign military casualties in 2010.
In the eastern Afghan province of Paktika five American soldiers were wounded when their post came under militant fire. NATO says dozens of militants were gunned down in the same incident.
On October 12, a cargo plane carrying supplies for US-led forces in Afghanistan crashed into the mountains near Kabul, killing all nine crew members onboard.
In a similar incident, nine US soldiers were killed in a chopper crash in September.
The Taliban claim its militants have shot down several aircraft and NATO choppers in different parts of Afghanistan over the past few months.

German troops wounded in Afghanistan
| Quote: | Four US-led soldiers have been injured in the northern Afghanistan province of Konduz after their vehicles were struck with roadside bombs.
The Taliban have taken responsibility for the attack, which targeted German soldiers.
The militants claim they destroyed two NATO tanks and killed a number of soldiers.
Around 4,500 German troops are based in northern Afghanistan.
In neighboring Baghlan Province, two US soldiers were wounded in a gun battle with Taliban militants.
More than 609 foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan in 2010 so far, making it the deadliest year for foreign forces since the beginning of the war in 2001.
The rising fatalities and casualties of the US-led forces have increased opposition to the Afghan war in NATO member states.
In a separate development, a bomb explosion in southern Afghanistan has taken two lives and injured five people.
The roadside bomb struck a police patrol in Kandahar Province. Officials say the victims were a police officer and a tribal leader.
The Taliban have accepted responsibility for the incident, claiming that six police officers were killed in the attack.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Helmand Province, officials say 17 Taliban militants have been killed in a joint operation by NATO and Afghan forces.
The Taliban, however, have rejected the claim.

Two US-led troops killed in Afghan war
| Quote: |
Two US-led soldiers have been killed in troubled southern Afghanistan as the death toll of foreign forces continues to rise in the war-torn country.
NATO said in a statement on Monday that the soldiers died in a bomb attack on their convoy. The nationalities of the soldiers and the exact location of the blast are unknown.
The latest deaths bring to 612 the number of NATO troops killed in Afghanistan in 2010, which has been the deadliest year for the military alliance since the beginning of the war. NATO's total deaths for 2009 stood at 521.
The developments come as the security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan with US-led forces killed by Taliban militants on a near-daily basis.
According to official figures, more than 2,000 US-led soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country. Figures released by Afghanistan's Baakhtar news agency, however, put the death toll at near 4,500.
Western public opinion is growing increasingly tired of the war and mounting casualties.

Six US-led troops killed in Afghan war
| Quote: | The NATO says six of its soldiers have been killed in combat operations in Afghanistan as the death toll of US-led forces continues to climb in country.
The US-led military alliance said two of the soldiers were killed in the south and one was killed in the east. The other three soldiers were killed on Thursday also in the south.
NATO has not disclosed the identities of the soldiers.
The latest deaths bring the number of slain foreign soldiers to more than 622 so far this year. The year 2010 has become the deadliest year for the US-led foreign forces since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
As the security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan, US-led forces are killed by Taliban militants on a near-daily basis.
According to official figures, more than 2,100 US-led soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country.
Figures released by Afghanistan's Baakhtar News Agency, however, put the death toll at near 4,500.
Western public opinion is growing increasingly tired of the war and mounting casualties. The United States and NATO have more than 150,000 troops in the war-torn country.
The developments come at a time when the US and its allies have stepped up a bombing campaign in troubled southern Afghanistan.
Tens of thousands of Afghan and foreign troops have been fighting the Taliban in Kandahar Province to flush militants out of the region.
US-led foreign forces have been criticized for military operations, which have led to death and destruction in war-ravaged Afghanistan.
A human rights group says civilian casualties have spiked since operations started in Kandahar in early September.
The Afghan Rights Monitor (ARM) says the US-led campaign in Kandahar has destroyed or damaged hundreds of houses.
ARM says US-led NATO forces have used aerial bombings, hidden booby traps and mines in private homes.
According to the rights group, most of the attacks have been carried out in areas that hold about one-third of Kandahar Province's population.
More than 100,000 Afghans have been killed since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001.
The loss of civilian lives at the hand of foreign forces has led to a dramatic increase in anti-American sentiments in Afghanistan.

Sounds like something Mark Twain might have written.
'Merkans are blissfully unaware of the million plus dead in Iraq, also.
At least ten millions dead in Africa from the political and economic policies of the new world order.
So I come home and the friggin' teevee is brainwashing my wife with a tale of caring U.S. soldiers helping to build a well in some godforsaken village in Iraq.
Makes me nuts.

Four US-led troops killed in Afghan war
| Quote: | Two separate attacks have killed at least four US-led soldiers in Afghanistan amid a surge in Taliban attacks against the foreign forces in the war-torn country.
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) says three soldiers were killed after a militant attack in the country's volatile south.
The nationalities of the soldiers and the exact location of the attacks have not yet been disclosed.
Earlier Afghan officials reported the death of one American soldier in Kunar Province, in an exchange of fire with Taliban militants.
The Taliban claim ten American soldiers were killed and a helicopter was downed during the attack.
Also on Saturday Taliban militants attacked a US military base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, claiming afterwards to have killed dozens of American and Afghan soldiers during the ambush.
At least 636 foreign troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan so far, making 2010 the deadliest year for US-led forces since the 2001 invasion of the country.
The rising number of casualties of the US-led foreign forces has increased opposition to the Afghan war in the countries which have contributed troops to the mission.

Hang in there, wartsttocs- I've heard that next week we'll hear that the new deadline to begin withdrawal from Afghan is 2014, rather than the previously-mentioned 2011.

A little off topic here, but your observation reminds me of the so-called "withdrawl of all combat troops in Iraq" that supposedly has already happened. The 82nd airborne is deploying to Iraq this Spring. The 82nd airborne are "combat" troops???? It is just another example of how the President really loves to tell bald-faced lies. He has such contempt for his subjects (especially those on the left), he thinks they are all fools and easily manipulated. Gibbs has expressed Obama's feelings on the subject rather well. The policies of millitary aggression and empire are completely bipartisan. Republicans are proud of it as are most Democrats. The other Democrats use lies to pretend they are against these policies. Whenever you hear these Democrats pay lip service to peace there is always these little quantifiers within these statements to give themselves an out. During the Democratic primaries in 2008 a young girl going door to door and asked me who I was supporting. I replied "Dennis Kucinich". She then said "what is the number one issue for your support"? I replied "prace". She then asked "well did you know Obama is against the war"? I replied "no he isn't" and I then gave her several direct quotes where Obama clearly stated he will continue occupation everywhere indefineatly and expand into Pakistan through the use of Obama's careful choice of words. She just gave me a blank empty stare (exactly the same stare when I confront Jesus freaks) and robotically parroted "he is against the war". This girl and most Obama/Democratic voters are just as "low information voters" as Republicans and "vote against their best interests" sometimes much worse than Republican voters.
It is this widespread cognitive dissonance in America that will expand these immoral and disasterous policies indefineatly. The best chance of ending this policy is for the millitary to be soundly defeated in Afghanistan. That is sort of the point of the whole thread is illustrating how this is happening already. |

Great going with that canvasser and also with this thread, wartsttocs.
I agree with you on the idea that there has to be an end to this criminal attacking of other peoples, and if it takes a whole bunch of dead US "heroes" for that to happen, so be it. They volunteered for participation in the criminality. |

More US-led troops killed in Afghan war
| Quote: | Eleven soldiers operating under the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have been killed in east and south Afghanistan over the past 24 hours.
Four soldiers were killed on Sunday in what NATO called Taliban attacks in the country's volatile east.
Another seven US-led troops died on Saturday in bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan.
The soldiers' nationality or the exact locations of the attacks have not yet been disclosed; however, US soldiers make up the majority of the foreign forces stationed in the east and south of Afghanistan.
Also on Saturday, Taliban militants attacked a US military base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, claiming afterwards to have killed scores of American and Afghan soldiers during the ambush.
At least 641 foreign troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan so far, making 2010 the deadliest year for US-led forces since the 2001 invasion of the country.
The rising number of the US-led foreign forces casualties has increased opposition to the Afghan war in the countries which have contributed troops to the mission.
Civilian and foreign casualties stand at record levels despite the presence of around 150,000 foreign troops and mercenaries in Afghanistan.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said it is time for the United States to reduce its presence and military operations in the war-ravaged country.
"The time has come to reduce military operations…The time has come to reduce the presence of, you know, boots in Afghanistan . . . to reduce the intrusiveness into the daily Afghan life," Karzai said in an interview with The Washington Post published on Saturday.
This is while senior officials in Washington have confirmed that American troops will remain in Afghanistan for at least four more years.

2 US-led soldiers killed in Afghanistan
| Quote: | The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) says two US-led foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan as the casualties of the coalition forces continue to rise in the war-torn country.
A US-led soldier died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, ISAF said in a Thursday statement, a Press TV correspondent reported.
Another US-led soldier lost his life in eastern part of the war-ravaged country on Thursday, the report added.
The Western military alliance has not revealed the nationality of the soldiers or the exact locations of the incidents.
The deaths bring to at least 674 the number of US-led troops killed in Afghanistan this year, making 2010 the deadliest year for foreign forces since the start of the war nine years ago.
According to official figures, more than 2,100 US-led soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country.
Figures released by Afghanistan's Baakhtar News Agency, however, put the death toll at near 4,500.
Despite the presence of some 150,000 NATO troops, militant attacks show no sign of slowing down in Afghanistan.
NATO has admitted that militants have increased their power in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion.
US President Barack Obama had pledged a major drawdown from the war-ravaged country by July 2011, but US officials recently announced that American soldiers would be staying in Afghanistan for at least another four years.

US-led soldiers killed in Taliban attack
| Quote: | A bomb blast inside an Afghan military base in the country's east has killed at least two US-led NATO troopers and several Afghan soldiers.
The attack took place in Gardez, the capital of Paktia Province, a Press TV correspondent reported on Sunday.
A NATO spokesman says another six soldiers from the alliance have been wounded. The nationalities of the wounded and killed soldiers are unknown.
The Taliban say they were behind the explosion, claiming they killed more than a dozen foreign soldiers.
A total of 677 foreign soldiers have been killed in the Afghan war so far this year. This record stood at 521 in 2009.
The US military has lost 1,415 soldiers in Afghanistan since the war began in October 2001.
As casualties have risen in Afghanistan over the past few months, public opinion has begun turning against the war in the United States and other countries.
In a separate development, US-led foreign forces have killed an Afghan child in the country's Ghazni Province.
Local witnesses say the girl was killed in a NATO military operation. The military alliance has confirmed a civilian loss of life in southeast Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Afghan officials say a Taliban commander and two other militants were killed during the operation.
However, the Taliban have not yet confirmed the deaths.
Foreign forces are under criticism for causing civilian casualties in the war-torn country.
A United Nations report says over 1,200 Afghan civilians lost their lives in the first half of 2010.
