Afghan roadside bomb kills four US soldiers

A roadside bomb attack in eastern Afghanistan has killed four US soldiers, Nato said.

AFP quoted spokesman James Judge as saying that a home-made bomb, one of the main weapons of the Taliban, was used in the attack.

The attack comes a day after seven US soldiers were killed in two bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan. The deaths add to the rising trend of casualties for Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf).

June and July were the worst months for foreign troop deaths since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001.

1. The effectiveness of US troops in Afghanistan pretty much came to an end in 2003
Everything since 2003 was the Bush Administration throwing money to defense contractors.

It is time to end the wars, and stop the hemorrhage of blood and money from America.
