Officials: 9 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Massive Attack in Afghanistan
« on: July 13, 2008, 04:02:47 PM »
KABUL, Afghanistan —  A multi-pronged militant assault on a small, remote U.S. base killed nine American soldiers and wounded 15 Sunday in the deadliest attack on U.S. forces in Afghanistan in three years, officials said.

The attack on the U.S. outpost came the same day a homicide bomber targeting a police patrol killed 24 people, while U.S. coalition and Afghan soldiers killed 40 militants elsewhere in the south.

The militant assault on the American troops began around 4:30 a.m. in a dangerous region close to the Pakistan border and lasted throughout the day.

Aw, but see?  We can't talk about that because it would go against the DNC/MSM/Taliban agenda.

I read that the casualties where heavy, but they didn't have exact numbers yet.

The important part is that they held on, the damn' headline should read "Massive Enemy Attack Repulsed with Heavy Losses at US Mountain Outpost."
