KABUL (AP) Six U.S. troops and six Afghan election workers are among the dead as insurgent attacks continue in advance of tomorrow's presidential election. Since the start of July, 76 American troops have died in Afghanistan. Tomorrow, Afghans will decide whether President Hamid Karzai should get a second term.

I am wondering the same thing. Where is all the outrage? Where are the calls for immediate withdrawal or impeachment?
Just like I thought, the anti war movement wasn't anti war they are anti Bush and anti republican.

Sad news, my condolences to their families.

What we forget is that the libera...communist do not care about their own hypocrisy.  It is a win at all costs, ends justify the means mentality only the left has.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Ughh here in my haste to point out the hypocrisy of the DUmmies I didn't take a second out to express my condolences.
It is sad when our soldiers die and I am  very grateful for the sacrifices they are making while we get to sit here and bellyache about how our leaders are messing things up.

RIP, six brave soldiers.

This is one of those times I REALLY hate being such an accurate fortune teller.

I unfortunately predicted that as Iraq wound down...the anti-war terrorist loving sh*tbags would return to their protesting of our presence in Afghanistan.

I'm not quite sure what that means.......................
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
