"(Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed five American troops in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, the U.S. military said, less than a week after American forces suffered their worst single loss of the Afghan war when Taliban insurgents shot down a helicopter.

The U.S. military and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) did not give details regarding Thursday's incident. A Pentagon spokesman in Washington said the victims were Americans.

At least 50 foreign troops have been killed so far in August.

Violence is at its worst in Afghanistan since U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in late 2001, with record civilian casualties and high levels of foreign troop deaths during the first half of 2011...

it's PATHETIC of Reuters to call it "violence"... they're called COMBAT CASUALTIES. Or an old word called "WAR".

The quagmire continues. I swear liberals have been so right about so many things it's fucking scary. Yet nobody in Washington listens.

The truth is too painful for some folks.

They think bad news will magically disappear when they click unrec.

and they just CAN'T ACCEPT that Obama is sending soldiers to their doom at a rate far outpacing Shrub in Afghanistnam.
