77 US soldiers were wounded and five Afghan civilians were killed in a Taliban suicide attack today in eastern Afghanistan.
The AP reported:
Nearly 80 American soldiers were wounded and five Afghans civilians were killed in a Taliban truck bombing targeting an American base in eastern Afghanistan, NATO said Sunday, a stark reminder that the war in Afghanistan still rages 10 years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks against the United States.
No U.S. soldiers were killed in Saturday night’s bombing, which took place hours after the Taliban vowed to keep fighting U.S. forces in Afghanistan until all American troops leave the country. The insurgent movement also stressed that it had no role in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The blast shaved the facades from shops outside Combat Outpost Sayed Abad in Wardak province and broke windows in government offices nearby, said Roshana Wardak, a former parliamentarian who runs a clinic in the nearby town of the same name. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Eight wounded civilians were brought to Wardak’s clinic, two of them with wounds serious enough that they were sent to Kabul. She said one 3-year-old girl died of her wounds on the way to the clinic.
The Wardak governor’s office confirmed the death toll and said a total of 17 Afghans were wounded — 14 civilians and three security officers.

A family member came home for r and r. While he was home, he got married and his wife had their baby. He was a lucky man for 2 weeks. He just went back to Afghanistan a few days ago. He is done in 4 months. I pray he comes home alive. He has so much to live for.
ocrick commented:
Hey Faithful, I’m glad u get the joke…
I am teaching my kids Vietnam and Iraq were BOTH bull sheet wars.
Just ask the Marine I saw in Costco the other day with no Freakin Legs…
ocrick commented:
I have been on several “right” wing web sites and Nobody will flat out say
Taking out bin loser by President Obama is a good thing. Strange, anti-American…
Faithful commented:
You are telling your kids lies made up by the kook left fringe you belong to. Shame on you. Do you have a relative in Afghajistan? I do, and we haven’t heard from him in days. So stuff your BS and spin, people with skin in the game are SICK of it.
ocrick commented:
So you think taking out bin loser was a Mistake? wtf….
I come from a military family, so does my wife, my sister is engaged to a Naval officer.
Who has done tours in both countries.
Do YOU think President Obama, giving the Order to take out bin loser was a bad thing?
on this day? cant we just agree on that for one day????
Faithful commented:
I nevr said killing bin laden was wrong, you’re just making crap up! You denigrated and disrespecte President Bush and Vice PResident Cheney and LIED about them ‘letting’ bin laden escape Tora Bora. You are teaching the LIES to your children. That makes you a monster.

Don’t feed the trolls.
ocrick commented:
On 9/11 its not just about the sorrow or that day.
The MISTAKES made by bush/dick are sad.
I have talked with several troops who have come back from Iraq.
They sound alot like troops that have come back from Vietnam.
Yes. I am that old…
ocrick commented:
Can’t we ALL agree on this of all days, the 10th anniversary of Saudi Attack Day, that it is
a good thing that President Obama WACKING bin loser is a Good thing? Not a complex ?….
Faithful commented:
Do you know ANYTHING about Tora Bora? What PROOF do you have to back up your claims that Bush let bin laden escape? You are pathetic to use this story to further your hatred. My nephew is currently in Afghanistan. He is an infantryman. He might be one of the victims of today’s bombing. For you to use this story to spew your hate and lies is pathetic.
Faithful commented:
Who the HELL is saying it wasn’t a good thing for THE NAVY SEALS to kill Obama? What freaking planet do you live on, fool?
Faithful commented:
“saudi attack day’. You are a SICK, SICK, SICK MF-er. You have no soul.
#1AMERICAN commented:

Hello Faithful, Happy Patriots Day,
Try Fox News for starters, I got back home from work around 1 AM Pac. time. got on several of their ‘coverage” tags for 9/11.

You Would not Believe the amount of Hate, Spew and Vitriol that came back.

Soooooo, you’re from a military family, are you? Well, so am I. If you were one of my relations, (I’m thankful you’re not) and you were to spew your vitriol around me or any of my extended family, any one of us would cheerfully kick your F-’n teeth in!
You tell ‘em about Viet Nam you congenital idiot. Better you than me because I can’t lie about it–something you seem to have no trouble accomplishing.
You’re a pathetic piece of skin. I’ve noticed the only time you slither out of the primordal ooze that you occupy is to try and stir the pot. How does it feel to have other people know you get your jollies jerkin’ your gherkin’ in front of your computer screen? Loser!
Faithful commented:
You are defective. Get help.
ocrick commented:
BS meter, you think the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was worth 50,000 dead? Many 100,000′s wounded and Millions of American Kids lives wrecked for the “Domino” effect “theory”?
My favorite is my Father in Law, who was a FAC Pilot ( more balls that you will ever dream of)
telling me how they transported food to them on the same planes that had JUST dropped
Agent Orange. He died of cancer a few year ago… and too soon I will say…
Pinhead
ocrick commented:
All I am saying is ………….
Can we just on this one day, the 10th anniversary or 9/11…
say Thank You to President Obama
for Liquidating bin loser? Is that too much for Any American?
#1AMERICAN commented:
we will never give thanks to odumbass because he is a FUKK up in everything he does.
BS-meter commented:
Where were you during all of this, a$$wipe? Before you call anybody pinhead you should look in the mirror. And balls? You haven’t a clue to whom you’re responding.
It’s easy for you to have all sorts of war hero relatives. I’ve seen thousands just like you. You didn’t have the ‘nads to wear a uniform but your Walter Mitty ego lets you conjur them up from the vapors from which you apparently suffer.
You’re a pathetic little pissant. It must really suck being you. Loser.
ocrick commented:
BS Meter, My Father also server in the Navy and Marines during Nam.
His DDG was hit by a guided missile. Spent Plenty of time on Marine bases.

::::::::::::::::::::
Bin Laden died years ago. Got proof otherwise? 7 years of doctored video tapes don’t count. All we have is”say-so” actualy not valid as evidence in any court of law.
If you don’t know the reason after ALL these years why we are in Afghanistan or Iraq, you are an uneducated nincompoop who’s too lazy and narrow-minded to stray out of a tiny little mental comfort zone of willful ignorance.
During all these years, we have our soldiers who are in classes studying geography, history, geopolitics, foreign languages, community relations, cross-cultural communications, local, regional and national govrnance structures. Afghans and Iraqis to THEM are PEOPLE with faces and names who they have come to know personally who actually have hopes for a better life, not just some one-dimensional “locals” a bunch of Starbucks-anchored juveniles can’t be bothered to care about in any measure.
AMerica gave 50 years of our military efforts to stabilize WHite Germany and White Europe against powerful and aggressive WHite Sovet Union after WWII. It seems very racist to hear we need to drop Afghans and Iraqis before they are able to provide their own security against more powerful and aggressive neighbors like Iran. Germany was as tribal as any Afghan province, but that term is only used in a derogatory manner against the Afghans.
Racism seems to be the big driver here in the Leftiist and Democrat calls to pull Americans out of AFghanistan.

For someone who campaigned that if he were elected he would stop all of Bush’s “illegal wars”, Barry has actually increased our military presence across the globe. We are now entrenched in more wars, wasting more gold and lives than ever, than when he was elected and inaugurated. He has continued nearly all of the Bush initiatives and military actions that he promised he would end.
kato commented:
It says a lot that on the anniversary of 9/11, some loser with the mental disorder would spend large amounts of time posting comment after comment like those above.
And, like many of his ilk, he wants to spit in your face and then accuse you of not being a good Christian when you slap back.
I wouldn’t even believe he has children or had a father who served in Vietnam, let alone his potted revisionist history. Daddy and the kids sound like fictional touches that are supposed to give the ranter credibility.
Tora Bora is one of those tropes beloved by those with the mental disorder. I’m surprised I didn’t see any reference to Halliburton. Ranters spew from the same unoriginal script, and the absence of Halliburton must be a clerical error. (Perhaps he was distracted by one of his kids.) I bet this ranter also claimed that Saddam invaded Kuwait because April Glaspie told him the U.S. wouldn’t mind. That was the 90s trope. Michael Moore was able to cash in on this fatuousness, but there are millions of losers toiling away at the same thing who have nothing to show for it except the joy of knowing they pissed a few people off.
The loser with the mental disorder fixates on events like Tora Bora. But if we had successfully struck at Tora Bora, the loser would be ranting about civilian collateral damage. Most of these losers didn’t even know who Osama bin Laden was at the time of Tora Bora. But they’re geopolitical geniuses now.
One of the interesting things about history is that one can see (provided one wants to see, and not merely rant) how events that seem clear in retrospect are anything but before or while they are happening. We should, for example, thank God that those buildings were not filled with 40- or 50-thousand people when they collapsed. Every five minutes that those building stood gave hundreds of people a chance to survive. There were thousands of such contingencies on 9/11, and it is safe to say that thousands of different decisions would have been made if people had the information that they have today. This all goes over the head of the losers with the mental disorder. Those thousands of dead we remember today are just fodder for their angry and twisted obsession with George W. Bush.

ocrick like all most all blacks see OHbama as the Won-we’ve-been-waiting-for who turns out to be a turd with no clean ends. On this sad day of memory, he like The Won must divert us from out prayers to making sandwiches.
I thank God for W as CinC at a time when he was needed and dread the thought of what a Kommiecrat like algore would have done….much less that clown in the WH.
Did OHbama have OSama killed? There is no proof at all. None. No photos from the sailors on the carrier. No e-mails of witnesses of the body. Nothing except a liers word.
