Afghanistan Attack: 2 NATO Service Members Killed

KABUL, Afghanistan — NATO says that two coalition service members have been killed in an insurgent attack in Afghanistan.

NATO says the two were killed Friday in the country's south. The coalition statement did not provide details about the attack or the nationality of the service members killed.

NATO usually waits for member nations to provide details about troop deaths.

That pic above of Obama & Karzai makes me sick. Karzai is stealing billions from the USA taxpayer and Obama is kissing his butt.

Not to worry as soon as we negotiate with that Taaliban we'll be Okie dokie. In his glorious speech the other night he said some things about how he would move forward conditional on peace and so forth.....I didn't hear anything about women's rights, education, democratic elections........It's OK though we will negotiate with the Taliban..........yeah right?

My son is serving in Afghanistan. Every day I wake up and get on my computer to see if he has sent an email! I thank God each time I talk to him either by email, skype or via cell. The promise by our president was to bring the military home and end the war, yet my son and many, many other people are still over there and now it looks like more will be going since he signed this agreement! Im very disappointed by the lack of integrity by our current administration, they fed the american public exactly what we wanted to hear to get elected! Every campaign promise made has not been met, next time I wont be voting for the Obama administration!

Gee do you think he "misspoke?" Nah! Do you think Obama'd lie? Nah! Do you think he ever had plans to shut down the war in Afghanistan? Do you think he stopped the war in Iraq? Nah! Because the American military wouldn't give the Iraqis the right to prosecute our military members, so we left. It had nothing to do with Obama's policy. But Obama and his spokes holes just said that the war on terrorism is OVER last week. What do you think? Oh wait. Obama just appointed two Muslims to the Homeland Security Administration. Does that make you feel any safer?

Notice they don't identify the nationality, but when Bush was the pres it was plastered on the front page of the newspapers that they were American casaulties. now with Obama they are NATO casualties and we have to wonder what nation! More Smoke and Mirrors!

Obviously some are easily confused. If they are American that is reported as such if other NATO members the nationality may not originally be released. This war was Bush's fault and as with running the country he made a mess that our president now has to try and fix. Obama 2012.

A group of murdering terrorist operating under the protection of the Taliban led by OBL started this war when they attacked us 11 years ago. That's why we came to Afghanistan. Is it your opinion we should have done nothing in response? Your beacon of light appears to be shining on your own ignorance.

Didn't Obama promise to get our boys out of the middle east upon his election? Hmmmm- 3 1/2 years later NATO soldiers as well as Americanbs are still dying there. Another campaign promise down the toilet.

That's not the only broken promise, just one of many.

Campaign promises and then not following through is his stock in trade. He is only interested in your vote. Simple. He is not interested in anything else but furthering the progressive agenda no matter how much it hurts the country. Actions speak volumes. Words are cheap.

Don't believe Obama's rhetoric. Watch his actions or lack thereof.
