"Bombing kills 2 US soldiers in Afghanistan; Obama meets with general" by Robert H. Reid, Associated Press | October 3, 2009
KABUL - A suicide bomber struck a US convoy in southern Afghanistan yesterday, killing two American soldiers, and military officials announced the deaths of two other international troopers - one American and one Briton - the day before.
But they WAITED a DAY to announce it, huh?
The deadly start to the month followed a drop in US and NATO deaths in September over the previous two months - perhaps because no major offensives were launched as the United States takes stock of its strategy in the troubled eight-year war....
Is that true, or just what they are telling us?
NOTHING about the MOST RECENT AIRSTRIKE, huh!?
************
US spokeswoman Captain Elizabeth Mathias confirmed a third American died late Thursday after militants fired rocket-propelled grenades at a patrol in eastern Afghanistan.
In London, the British Ministry of Defense said a British airman was killed Thursday when a bomb exploded alongside his patrol near Camp Bastion in southern Helmand province, one of the flashpoints of recent fighting. The four deaths were the first reported this month for the US-led international force, which has been locked in the heaviest combat of the Afghan war.
Nevertheless, the number of American troops killed in the war dropped from a record monthly high of 51 in August to 37 in September, according to figures compiled by the Associated Press from official statements. US death tolls had been rising steadily since the spring....
The September death toll for the overall international force, including Americans, stood at 65, compared with
73 in August.
Which, if you do the math, means NATO's casualties have INCREASED!!!!
ALL DEAD over a HUMONGOUS LIE!!!
