Four U.S. servicemen were killed by a roadside bomb elsewhere in the south, NATO and the U.S. military said, making 2009 the deadliest year for the growing contingent of foreign troops in eight years of war.
I thought we were getting out of the war business.

Sure, it was of course so well managed by The Shrub that after 8 years Afghanistan is just a walk in the park. Perhaps if he hadn't allowed his personal vendetta in Iraq to distract our focus we wouldn'r be hearing these sad reports today.

Reagan did in the 1980s. We left our buddies in Afghanistan with plenty of cash, arms, ammunition and power. We paid for it again when they came back to bite us and succeeded.
Then Bush went after them, only to be distracted by a bunch of lies and misinformation, and headed into Iraq. Afghanistan was forgotten, the purpose was no more. It was all about "Iraqi freedom". Taliban and AQ loved it and got the opportunity to expand its roots.
Now, you're proposing the same mistakes that we've already committed TWICE in two decades. If you have another solution besides folding up, forgetting the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers who died for a reason, please provide so you can help your country. Unlike the republican candidate for president, who apparently knows how to go get Osama Bin Laden (and apparently will tell only if he were elected).

IF you want to whine about a war of choice, AT LEAST have the decency to admit just whose choice it was!
