Sounds kinda like maybe perhaps Afghanistan ain't the "role model democracy" bush spews about. :eyes:

1. Wasn't there a post on DU yesterday about Canadian Convoy attacked

with some of the vehicles burned? They had no information on the "number of casualties" in the first report...but I wonder how long the Canadians will stay there with attacks going on and 4 US soldiers were killed a coupe of days ago.

Maybe that's why the Jon Benet resurfaced. Gotta not only cover up Iraq but now Afghanistan.

2. After the 4 got killed

I heard that our side killed 70 some insurgents or whatever they called them.
I am just so proud of dubya for opening the gate to hell.
:freak:

3. killed 70 insurgents?

Sounds like another massacre if four soldiers died killing 70 insurgents.

We have less news from Afghanistan because all the reporters are hold up in
the "Green Zone" in Iraq, I guess. :-(
