When you hear US troops are killed in Afghanistan

[rkeane]

As others have mentioned, it was a completely illegal invasion...it had no basis in international law. I'm happy that 4155 american troops have been killed, I'd be happier if the death count would grow faster.

AN utterly odious post from an odious bitter little nobody.

Well with that picture of Sarah Palin on your profile....I can see you are nothing but a stupid right wing neo con. The invasion was 100% illegal, there were no wmd's or any other reason to take unilateral action against Iraq. So I am delighted everytime I hear of an ied, efp, mortor or sniper attack against U.S soldiers in Iraq. Afghanistan / Pakistan is a different story, at least that is where 9 11 was planned.

Thac - I often find reading the perspectives of the very large number of citizens on the ground can usually give a better feel for the situation than having to rely on the death of human beings in order to conduct your sick political analysis.

[color=#0040FF]In a place like Afghanistan or even Iraq you will find that people in Taliban or militant controlled areas tend not to have a bad thing to say about the people holding the guns that patrol their streets. So much for how your formulate a picture of whats going on.[/color]
The fact you find my analysis 'sick' does not come as a suprise, your allergy to actual hard facts is well documented.

Can I suggest, you blithering idiot, that if someone was holding a gun in your general area that you too would not have a bad word to say of them.

As for the thread, I am very sorry when I hear of young men dying. I feel sorry for their loved ones. But my heart is always with the civilians, especially the children, whose lives count for nothing in this American made nightmare. May god forgive them for the evil they bring.

Don't know about that, a similar scenario was postulated in US govt cirlces in the 60s and a drill concerning just such a scenario was coincidentally being conducted at NORAD on 9-11. Maybe that's why they weren't able to scramble any of the multiple jet fighters at nearby Andrews Air Force Base.

Do you REALLY want to get into this? Because I can see where this will end - you off this thread, too scared too come back because you've been made to look like an idiot...
