    Obama Lied - Soldiers Died

    GIs die in bombing, gunfight at Afghan base
    U.S. airstrikes end two-hour battle after militants target outpost's gate



    updated 5:49 a.m. ET, Sat., July 4, 2009
    KABUL - Militants blew up a vehicle outside the gates of a U.S. coalition base in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, sparking a two-hour gunbattle that ended when American troops called in airstrikes, officials said. Two U.S. troops were killed and four were wounded.

    More than 30 insurgents were killed by the airstrikes in Zerok district of Paktika province, said Hamidullah Zawak, the provincial governor's spokesman.

    The multi-pronged attack near the Pakistan border came as thousands of Marines in southern Afghanistan pursued the biggest U.S. military operation here since the American-led invasion of 2001, trying to cut insurgent supply lines and win over local elders.

    It underscored the dangers that the over-stretched U.S. forces will face as they widen their battle against the Taliban, who have made a violent comeback following their initial defeat in the 2001.

    Responding to the deteriorating security situation, President Barack Obama's administration has ordered 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and expects the total number of U.S. forces there to reach 68,000 by year's end. That is double the number of troops in Afghanistan in 2008 but still half as many as are now in Iraq.

    Saturday's attack started when insurgents drove an explosives-laden vehicle toward the gates of the American base, and the vehicle blew up, Zawak said. For two hours, insurgents then fired at the base from several locations before U.S.-called airstrikes ended the fight, he said.

    16 bodies recovered
    Two U.S. troops were killed and four were wounded in the ***ault, said Tech. Sgt. Chuck Marsh, a U.S. military spokesman. An Afghan soldier was also wounded, Zawak said. The base housed both U.S. and Afghan soldiers, he said.

    Zawak said 32 insurgents were killed in the airstrikes, and the authorities have already recovered 16 bodies.

    Because of the area's remoteness, it was impossible to independently verify Zawak's claim.

    Saturday's attack happened in the same province where an American soldier and three Afghans were believed captured by insurgents Tuesday.

    U.S. troops continued looking for the soldier, Navy Chief Petty Officer Brian Naranjo said Friday. The military has not publicly identified him.

    No immediate claim of responsibility was made by any insurgent group for the missing soldier or Saturday's attack.

    A Taliban faction led by Sirajuddin Haqqani operate in the area where the attack took place. The U.S. has accused Haqqani of masterminding beheadings and suicide bombings, including the July 2008 attack on the Indian Emb***y in Kabul that killed 60 people.
    Why is this still happening? Didn't voters say overwhelmingly that they wanted the war to end and our soldiers to be brought home? Didn’t Obama discuss his position on the war ad-nauseum during his campaign?

    Right there in the article is says, "It underscored the dangers that the over-stretched U.S. forces will face as they widen their battle against the Taliban, who have made a violent comeback following their initial defeat in the 2001".

    U.S. forces are widening their battle? Why? We voted for Obama to END THIS WAR AND BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME!

    Does the blood of these brave soldiers fall on the hands of Obama?

    For years we heard Bush was responsible.

    I can’t believe the lack of outrage??????

    Why do you write this Propaganda garbage? My friend ,people are not as stupid as you think!

    Everybody knows including you that our enemies were in Afghanistan not Iraqi.

    Osama and his warlords that attacked us. Don't you think out of respect for our people , we should get the story straight? I hate these FF'en word games.

    Iraqi was a personal thing with Bush.
    Kiss someone that's different. It helps.

    Didn’t Obama say the war must end and our troops must be brought home?

    I didn’t vote for Obama and I don’t agree with his economic plan but if there was any silver lining with his election it was that our troops were going to come home and we wouldn’t have anymore bloodshed!

    It’s been 6 months now and not only are our troops still there but now we have to read that,

    “Responding to the deteriorating security situation, President Barack Obama's administration has ordered 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and expects the total number of U.S. forces there to reach 68,000 by year's end”.
    So don’t go shooting the messenger because “your boy” is getting criticized for doing the EXACT SAME THING you criticized Bushy Boy for!
