"5 more US troops fall in Afghanistan" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | August 7, 2009
KABUL, Afghanistan - The pace of American combat deaths in Afghanistan has quickened anew as roadside bombs killed five US troops in 24 hours in the same western province, the American military said yesterday.
The deaths bring to 11 the number of American soldiers killed in Afghanistan in August, on the heels of what was the worst month for Western and US troop fatalities since the conflict began in 2001. Forty-three American service members died in July.
Violence has been surging in Afghanistan....
Yeah, and look at what deaths the Globe is putting on the front page.
Slow Saturday Special: A Turkey of a Front Page
Sunday Globe Insults: Front-Page Funeral
Well, when you lie a people into a war, I guess you wouldn't want them to know....
In addition to the troop fatalities, 26 Afghans, most of them members of a wedding party, were reported killed in roadside bombings yesterday.
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no!!! All we know is they are dead!
The American deaths occurred in Farah province, bordering Iran, where a force consisting mainly of US Marines staffs a string of small forward operating bases set deep in the desert.
No wonder Iran feels f***ing nervous.

They are connected by a route that American forces have been struggling for months to keep free of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, which have made road travel dangerous for villagers and military convoys alike. One of the fatalities took place Wednesday, and the other four, in a single incident, came yesterday, the US military said. Such “clusters’’ of fatalities are becoming less uncommon; three American soldiers were killed over the weekend in a single roadside bombing in the south.
Hey, then let's come home.
Some American field commanders have said more insurgents may be moving into Farah in response to a major US offensive in Helmand province, just to the south, in early July.
Translation: Obama's offensive has INCREASED the MASS-MURDERING SLAUGHTER and MAYHEM!
But insurgents had been tightening their grip on Farah even before the Helmand offensive....
Translation: Those icky people who happen to live there MADE US rain bombs down on their heads and kill their women and babies!
The roadside bombings in Helmand yesterday killed 21 members of a wedding party and five police officers, Afghan officials said. The first blast also injured at least five people, said Helmand’s police chief, Asadullah Sherzad.
I just DON'T BELIEVE MUSLIMS would do that to each other, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! I'm sorry, world and followers, but the Muslim-hating, war-promoting, Zionist AmeriKan MSM NO LONGERS DESERVES the TRUST!!!
The IED that hit the wedding party was almost certainly aimed at coalition troops. A tractor carrying the party, which included women and children, set off the buried bomb on a road in Garmser district, which Western troops repeatedly have tried to clear of insurgents.
US Marines occupied the district for much of last year and returned with this month’s offensive.
And boom, a wedding party goes up!!
I KEEP SAYING IT! The BOMBINGS of the mosques and the SECTARIANISM ONLY ARRIVES when WE GET THERE!!!!

Hey, you see that false flag waving, readers?
WHO KNOWS what REALLY HAPPENED because I CAN'T BELIEVE my NEWSPAPER!!!!
""Operation in Afghanistan is rooted in Israel"
The real reason why the U.S. continues its presence in Afghanistan is Iran the country which is an annoyance for Israel, said Karen Kwiatkowski, a writer and former U.S. Air Force officer.
