War News Updates

This page provides short sentences on War News Updates. I am trying to scan articles on various subjects to help us stay up to date with what is happening.

31 more Americans killed in a single incident in Afghanistan.

We have to get our people out of there now. This is senseless. It's a wash. To continue in a country that is filled with corruption and cowardice just does not make sense.

This country has no vital importance to anyone for that matter.

What is it going to take for our leaders to see that we either have to lay the place to waste or come home. We are trying to fight a "gentlemans'" war. You cannot win this way.

Now the insurgents will be embolden. They will shout, "We got revenge for Osama." We should have pulled out after we killed Osama. That should have been the end of it for the US.

To continue to spill American blood and spend American green backs on this country just proves that the United States does not have any Adult leadership at the moment.

President Obama said he would bring our troops home. All he has done is shift them from Iraq to Afghanistan, and he is mulling over the idea of sending troops to Libya.

The world's problems are not are own. We are taking down our own country trying to solve the world's problems. Guess what? The world does not want us to solve their problems. They just want us to leave them alone. So let's do it!

From the Washington Post: "U.S. counter terrorism officials are increasingly convinced that the killing of Osama bin Laden and the toll of seven years of CIA drone strikes have pushed al­ Qaeda to the brink of collapse."

Sure they are on the brink of collapse--that is why they just killed the governor of Kandahar.

There must be a lot of drugs going around in Washington these days.

Another American death wasted on a country that is not worthy of the sacrifice that is being made for them:

"A special operations soldier from Canyon Lake was killed in combat Thursday in Afghanistan's Paktika province in his 10th deployment overseas since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Master Sgt. Benjamin A. Stevenson, 36, was a highly decorated soldier with the U.S. Army Special Operations Command stationed in Fort Bragg, N.C., according to an Army news release."

According to my local news channel, Hilliary Clinton said we would send 28 million dollars to help drought stricken East Africa.

Where is she getting the 28 million from? Does she not understand the US has no money? Reminds me of the song "Here's Your Sign."

Since July 12th, 8 more Americans have died in Afghanistan. At least two have died in Iraq.

Here in San Antonio we are burying a soldier killed in Iraq. Sgt Steven Talamantez will be laid to rest tomorrow.

He was killed in action in a country that the President claims no troops are involved in combat.

The killing just does not stop.

HOUSTON - A soldier from South Houston has made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

Sgt. Jacob Molina, 27, was serving in the U.S. Army in support of Operation Enduring Freedom when he died Tuesday.

Sgt. Molina was killed when the vehicle he was in was attacked with an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. He and Staff Sgt. James Christen, 29, were assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.

There is no reason to keep our troops in harms way.
