The deaths of eight U.S. forces in Afghanistan Tuesday has made October the deadliest month for the United States since it launched the war eight years ago.

NATO says complex bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan killed the U.S. service members and one Afghan civilian working with the force.

The deaths pushed the October death toll to at least 53, topping the previous high of 51 deaths in August.

1. The hornet's nest has been stirred, it seems

[tekisui]

2. Don't worry, 40,000 more troops will deliver the peace and stability.

:mad:

[dflprincess]

11. And if that doesn't work

more will be sent.

I think I've seen this show before. :mad:

[Oregone]

13. Maybe. Or maybe they will re-escalate the Forgotten War (Iraq)

Rinse, wash, repeat.

3. Going to be there for a while.

I'm glad they are willing to protect us.

[wuushew]

4. What are we being protected from?

killing local Afghan youths is somehow preventing more mass murder in NYC?

5. If you don't know you need to read a lot more. nt

[wuushew]

7. I want your theory, I already know what I believe

Also very few people at DU are inadequately read owing to the sheer number of media links posted on any given day. Try again.

8. I've given it many times.

Simple answer. Nation Building.

[Oregone]

10. They are protecting us from "Nation Building"?

[JVS]

12. Yup. If we don't slaughter them by the scores, they will raise up a mighty nation and smite us.

:scared:

[tekisui]

6. Don't expect anything of substance from that poster.

All they know is they love the war. Not sure if it is just war in general they love or if it's because this is Obama's War. They will only try to deflect from your questions or the issue at hand.

9. LoL!

Thought you had me on Ignore?
