From today's news:

2 US Troops Die In Attack On Base In Afghanistan

I would like to bring something to the attention of the readers:

Taliban militants fired rockets and mortars at a U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, killing two American troops and wounding several more in a two-hour battle, officials said.

During the clash, which ended only after U.S. forces called in airstrikes, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck toward the base's gates. It blew up when American troops fired on it.

More than 30 insurgents were killed in the battle in Zerok district of Paktika province, said Hamidullah Zawak, the provincial governor spokesman. Seven American and two Afghan troops were wounded, a U.S. military spokesman said.

Attack helicopters, airstrikes and fire from U.S. troops killed at least 10 militants, according to a statement from the NATO-led force under which these American troops fight. Troops detained one militant, it said.

WHAAAAAAAAT?????????????????

Okay, I think NOW is the perfect time to recap, shall we?

My first question would be...WHAT NATO LED FORCE? NATO isn't leading squat. NATO isn't capable of leading squat. It wasn't a NATO base that was attacked. It was an American base, and American forces with a few Afghani's trained by American Forces led the battle and won the battle.It wasn't NATO troops that gave their lives, it was American troops exclusively. American troops fight under OUR FLAG, and by this press release, you can clearly see who led the battle, as we always have. NATO is nothing more than an impotent disaster. Thanks for listening to me rant. God Bless America and our Warriors who paid the FULL price for freedom on this July 4th.
