    Four foreign soldiers killed in Afghanistan bombing
    Irish Sun
    Monday 29th June, 2009  
    (IANS)


    Four foreign soldiers were killed Monday in a roadside bombing outside Kabul, said a spokesman for the government of Maidan Wardak province.

    Shahidullah Shahid said the troopers died when their convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in the Jalrez district, about 40 km west of Kabul.

    At least one vehicle was destroyed in the blast, Shahid said.

    A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, claimed a higher death toll, saying five US soldiers were killed in the attack.

    NATO and US forces could not be reached for comment on the incident in Maidan Wardak, which has been the scene of increasing Taliban attacks over the past two years.

    Meanwhile, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement that one of its soldiers was killed in eastern Afghanistan in another roadside bombing.

    The ISAF did not give details about the nationality of the soldier or a more exact location of the explosion.

    Why wars are going on

    The reason they start all these wars is for oil. They don’t care about Arab or Afghan children, they don’t care about your soldiers, they won’t spare to spent the money of your taxes just to make the oil companies wealthier. So, next time consider who you are voting.

    Lies can not win..as far, the truth will overcome

    Let them make their children died for foolish reasons based on lying. They will one day answer for all these.... How many were killed from Irak, from afghanistan, from US, from Pakistan, from France and britain for these false reasons. And they continue. the greatness is to go back when we have not reason

    Dying because bush and blair pretexts.

    The soldiers are dying because bush and accomplices invented their crazy and stupid pretexts to invade Iraq. And in Afghnanistan, while not have invented pretexts as to do it to invade Iraq, they didn’t have the right to do it. Read the books of Noam Chomsky. Sorry my english, but I will try to speak better

    All the above post are full of lies, nonsense, and idiocy. Does anyone remember 11 September, 2001? Does anyone remember that bin Laden and company were in Afghanistan, protected by the Taliban? The lies about “war for oil” have been shot down so much that only libtard Kool-Aid drinkers still repeat this bull manure. And Chomsky is the LAST person I would ask about anything. He is so blinded by his political bias that he refuses to accept anything that disagrees with him. Chomsky is an educated moron, nothing more.

    Who is blind Mr. Bill

    Thank about, who is responsible about September 11, 2001? Who produced bin Ladin and his company? Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? I do not care about Chomsky, but thank about what you call him, if it is true in your case.

    Who is responsible for 11 September 2001? Bin Laden and al-Q’aida terrorists. Pure and simple. Bin Laden even took credit for the attack. Who produced bin Laden and company? Islamist nut jobs who believe that Islam is destined to rule the world. Pakistan ISI is one group that has partial blame for bin Laden, et al. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? No where if you believe the mass media. However, I know that Sarin nerve gas was found in artillery shells, in violation of UN requirements. There is also a good possibility that the WMDs were moved out of Iraq prior to March 2003. Syria and Russia are both good possibilities. There is credible evidence to suggest just that. See Iraqi General Sada for more information. Why should I “thank” about what I call Chomsky? I despise his lies and distortions of history and politics. I despise this educated moron who could not think his way out of a political puzzle if his life depended on it. Noam Chomsky is nothing but a left wing, Commie loving libtard who lets political concepts sway his writings to false conclusions. That is what he is worthless as a source of fact. You really need to try again, mental midget.

    Reply to Mr. Bill

    Probably you are either too young, and had no time to explore the history about involvement of USA in the Midlde East, or much old and you not remember it. About 40 years ago there was no islamist as you call them. USA + Israel founded them by invading Egypt (formation of first Islamic brother party). Bin Ladin and his company were produced by USA to beat Russian in Afghanistan. Sadam was a dictator, but like many other, who govern some countries, but did not follow what the USA wanted. Can you imagine how many people died in war in Iraq? For what? Because Bush and his ally did not like him. Is Egypt or Saudi Arabia more democratic than Iran? If you do not know, go to these countries and ask their people and do not follow and the USA propaganda.

    Let them die

    Dear All As an Afghan I am really happy that we are killing these soldeirs,they are not our guests anymore they are the enemies. There is a proverb in our Pashtu language that NAKED IS NOT AFRAID OF WATER so we are ready to die so let them die with us together unless they change their whole policy of Getting Oil to a pure Afghanistan Construction policy.We are poor people we don’t care about there invasion for Oil we want them to work for our country build it construct it otherwise if they go curved so we will kill them like street dogs. But one thing that I am really concern about is these Americans they are so beautiful so Blonde but we are killing them anyway.

    I believe you have drunk deeply of the libtard Kool-Aid, my friend. I am not nearly as young as you think. As for no Islamists prior to 1967, think again. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928, before Israel even regained their nation. Saddam is reported to have killed upwards of a million of his people. You still want him as President of Iraq? Take your own advice, AnyMouse. Stop following the libtard propaganda about the world. Do not take the words of Zinn or Chomsky as fact, for they are but lies. Try again, mental midget.

    The war of bush and blair

    Here’s a good site to known what is happening with the soldiers because the pretexts of bush, blair and accomplices to invade Iraq. About Afghanistan, well... I can understand the sentiments that leave then to make it... See the news: http://icasualties.org/oif/

    To Mr. Bill again

    I think, it has no sense to continue this discussion. You have your compact viewa, which is based on reports in newspaper and TV broadcasted by CNN, BBC, etc. I am talking about facts, which I saw and see every day. As I indicated Sadam was a dictator. If we do not take the Iraq-Iran war, the American and UK invasion killed several times more Iraqi people then Sadam. By the way, the invasion of Sadam on Iran was also work of the USA. Leaving Reza Shah from IranUSA lost the oil territory. First the ppromised him help in the war, but than realize that Sadam is not the right person. I saw such document once in a TV in Australia and it is not my fantasy. You ignore that all these trouble in the Middle East are not for Oil. Why no one care about the big nation of Kurdistan that is separated among three countries. But when Sadam invaded Kuwait, the USA sent their army to liberate it. I mentioned the circus around the election in Iran about the USA and UK are so much interested and expanded this problem. In other countries, where the government is loyal to the USA, the president can prison his rival, but in the US newspaper appear only a short comment. I am not a politic, but I have a strong feeling, if the USA could leave Iran, Iraq, Taliban on there way, all these problems would not happen. But instead of this, they isolated these countries, pressed them and logically the regimes want survive and become radical against the west. What do you thank, all these people who are fighting against foreign soldiers in Iraq and in Afghanistan are Al-Qaida or Taliban. It is not true. Most of them are normal people but they lost their relatives, because of the invasion and some might become extremists, but all of the hate USA.

    A lie, buster. You are NOT using facts, rather you are using innuendo and false reports. Yes, it is probably is senseless to continue as you have NO clue about reality. When exposed to actual facts, you reject them for the lies you spout. My world view comes from having lived over half a century and living in several foreign countries. What is your experience.

    Another lie. No facts to prove this, just conspiracy theory, foil hat type of nonsense. [quote]Leaving Reza Shah from IranUSA lost the oil territory.

    Just WHAT did the US or UK do to “expand” the problem in Iran concerning the election? Answer, nothing but talk from President Obama. Nothing more.

    Another lie from someone who thinks he is educated, but is not. AnyMouse has drunk deep of the Libtard Kool-Aid to spread this nonsense. Either that, or AnyMouse is a covert supporter of Islamic terrorism. Only the lies of the Libtards or the lies of Islam could cause you to recite such bull manure and call it the truth. The only other reason is if you suffer from rectal-crainal inversion.

    To Mr. Bill for last time

    Dear Mr. Bill, I wanted to end this nonsense discussion with you. But I found that I am right with my estimate on your limited view about the world. You did not give any reasonable comment to the points, I outlined. You lost your arguments, because you don’t have them. This confirms also your expression that is typical for a swash-buckler. You are like a liberty monkey, who serves probably for money. May be this is your job and therefore you could travel half of century and live in several countries as you claimed. This is for the first time I jointed such discussion on the WEB. But probably, you are a regular debater, may be you are paid for that. If you are not paid for that, then please wake up and do some thing humane during the rest time of your life.

    Your estimate is worthless. You did not back up your claims. You said the US and Israel was responsible for Islamist actions. I proved to you that the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group, was founded in 1923, well before you claimed and well before Israel even became a nation-state. You were proven WRONG. You failed to provide evidence for your inane claims. I challenged your claims, showed some evidence that they werr wrong, and you continue to cling to them. That is typical libtard lack of intelligence, letting others think for them and them regurgitating their lies. Mr. AnyMouse, you really need an education so you can remove the nonsense from between your ears. Your brain is not working at its best potential. Do you remember the phrase GIGO? Used with computers as in Garbage In - Garbage Out. You, sir, suffer from GIGO of the brain. As for my “limited” view of the world, show me were and how. I will then prove to you that you are wrong. I gave proof that some of your points were wrong, which casts doubt on all claims. May not be reasonable in your view, but it is logical and reasonable in the real world. Your arguments have been proven false, invalid, without evidence, therefore failed. If you continue to try and claim otherwise, you have branded yourself a typical libtard who rejects all proof that does not conform to their rose colored view. Yes, I am retired from the US military, but what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? It did give me loads of experience I would never have had otherwise, and it allowed me to see and experience other cultures. Now, tell me what your experience is. Final Comment: You suffer from rectal-cranial inversion along with extreme exposure to gases created by decaying matter.
