Today from AFP: A roadside bomb killed five US troops Saturday in Afghanistan and two other NATO soldiers were shot dead in an "insider attack", a week after the Taliban launched their spring offensive.
Also, from the NYT: One more killed by small arms fire, not an insider attack.
Just think: if we had elected a real PEACE president in 2008, that would be eight more Americans alive right now..... just from today. Just from Afghanistan.
