Suicide bombers attack U.S. base in Afghanistan
By Rafiq Shirzad
JALALABAD, Afghanistan | Sun Dec 2, 2012 9:43am EST
(Reuters) - Suicide attackers detonated bombs and fired rockets outside a major U.S. base in Afghanistan on Sunday, killing five people in a brazen operation that highlighted the country's security challenges ahead of the 2014 NATO combat troop pullout.
Local police officials said bodies in Afghan police and military uniforms were scattered around the entrance of the airfield in the eastern city of Jalalabad after a two-hour battle. A Taliban spokesman said the militant group had launched the 6 a.m. assault.
The Taliban, who have been fighting U.S.-led NATO and Afghan forces for more than a decade, sometimes dress in uniforms for attacks.
Two suicide bombers died after blowing themselves up in cars, said Nasir Ahmad Safi, a spokesman for the provincial government.
Seven other bombers were killed in the a gunbattle with Afghan and coalition forces. Three Afghan soldiers and two civilians also died, said Safi.
U.S. helicopters circled overhead.

http://cdrsalamander.blogspot.com/20...-then.html?m=1. This speaks directly to the point that this potus is incompetent as commander in chief either by nature or choice. Nor has he had flag rank staff to call his bluff on putting our troops in harms way in this whole withdrawal process. Sad day for our country that our leaders are not doing their all for our brave troops.
Seven of our own in 24 hours.

Bush won the war, obummer has lost the peace. No surprise there.
Thought we had withdrawn from both Iraq and Afghanny? Wasn't that a 2008 obummer campaign promise?

The 12-Year War: 73% of US Casualties in Afghanistan on Obama's watch
cnsnews.com › News
Sep 11, 2013 - So far this year, during the twelfth year of the Afghan War, 91 U.S. .... But Obama can claim 3/4 of all dead soldiers since the 9/11 war started .
(CNSNews.com) - Twelve years ago today, nineteen al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.
In the war that Congress authorized against al Qaeda only three days after that attack, the vast majority of the U.S. casualties have occurred in the last four and a half years during the presidency of Barack Obama.
In fact, according to the CNSNews.com database of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan, 73 percent of all U.S. Afghan War casualties have occurred since Jan. 20, 2009 when Obama was inaugurated.
The 91 U.S. casualties in Afghanistan so far in 2013 are more than those that occurred in the first two full calendar years of the war (2002 and 2003) combined, when 30 and 31 U.S. troops were killed there.
On Sept. 14, 2001, Congress approved a resolution authorizing the president “to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons.”
By October 2001, U.S. forces were engaged in Afghanistan, seeking to remove al Qaeda from the sanctuary it had used there to launch the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.
Since then, most of the leaders and participants in the 9/11 terrorist attacks have been killed or captured. But the United States not only remains at war in Afghanistan, it continues to suffer significant casualties there.
In total, 2,144 U.S. military personnel have given their lives fighting in and around Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
1,575 of the U.S. military personnel who have sacrificed their lives in this cause were killed during the presidency of Barack Obama.
That means 73 percent of the casualties in the Afghan War have happened on Barack Obama’s watch.

We should have never been in this war in the first place (hello, "W"!). Let Muslims fight their own war.
You're stretching the boundaries of acceptance.

If Clinton would have killed OBL when he had the chance, after Col. North testified about OBL as well, 9-11 might not have happened.
