KABUL — Bomb attacks and a firefight killed four U.S. troops in 24 hours in Afghanistan, the military said Monday, adding to the growing toll as NATO and the U.S. consider whether to send more forces to the war.
Three of the Americans died in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, NATO said in a statement. Two of them were killed in a bomb attack and the third in a separate firefight.
The statement said a bomb killed the fourth American in the east Monday.

Good classical description. I guess he has some dramatic reason to wait until 12/1 at WEST POINT. He can't just say something. It always has to be a spectacle. Cecil B. DeMille would have loved this guy. I wonder if the cadets will stand behind him for effect? I wonder if the military is beginning to think it is being had? The general was a graduate of WEST POINT. I guess his choice of WEST POINT was to make another of his statements about who is in charge. Reminds me of Notre Dame.

Durn. Guess President Obama doesn't have a weed farm in Texas to spend every weekend at like you know who.

Weed farm? I think it's actually a ranch. I think you know what the difference between ranch and farm is right?
dos equis
Was a pig farm before the Dim Son bought it, he needed a place where his Mother would feel comfortable. Not once did I see 1 horse or any cattle on this so called ranch.I believe your fearless leader was actually afraid of horses.

Thanks for showing racism and stupidity (but I repeat myself) are alive and well in the US.

Dubya read "My Pet Goat" to school children in Florida while the World Trade Centers burned! Can you Fox explain that?
jcandme85
Could it be that he didn't want to alarm the children he was reading to. Unlike Obama who wants our kids singing HIS praises to promote. AS I recall, he was on it immediately after he was done with the book.

Obama and Carter have one thing in common. They both have no respect or considration for men and women of the armed forces.
TheRealGOP
Obama and Carter have another thing in common. They were actually elected president of the United States and didn't obtain office by means of election fraud as did Geo Dubya Bush in my hime state of Florida.
Malaka
Pres. Bush took more vacation time in his 8 years than any other president. Ever. Not a peep of complaint was heard here at Fox "News". Pres. Obama has the temerity to go golfing and he gets skewered. Fair and balanced.
moesite
bush = 8 years; obummer = 10 months
GET IT?
Janet in Florida
Having lived the military-wife-life for more than 30 years, early on I became aware of Obama's disdain for the US military and his plans for instituting a "Civilian Corps".He must have absolutely no idea of how "at the ready" the troops are & have been waiting for reinforcements as requested in August. At this late date of compliance, they must be worn thin & have morale problems & what about all the families at home waiting & hoping & praying for their loved ones ? Cruel & unusual punishment being meted out. Terrorism trumps.
Authentic Conservative Moron
I have posted this at least 100 times and I will repost it another 1000 times. I have nothing to do in my low life. FOX NATION is the only place where I eat, wet and sh-t.
I am so glad Obama got elected now. Had I known what a complete and utter failure he would be I would have voted for him. Here is how it all plays out. I was too busy molesting children and missed the voting time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Authentic -- You need help.

BHO has golfed more times than he has talked to McChrystal. If this was BUSH every MSM talking head would be screaming at the top of their liberal lungs about it. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE MSM GAINS FOR BEING SO IN THE BAG for BHO? It is the only thing I can't figure out.
BOSMAN
He golfs while our military in Afghanistan is under staffed, over worked, and tired!

When you look up the N word in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of BHO right next to it.

dumb remark that does simply negates your opinion of the current situtation.

Our country is loosing our young treasure in battle. Meantime this idot president plays golf, parties and flys around the world making an ass of himself and americans by extention. We lost 58 brave people in Oct., where was the state run media? Remember how much they fought to take photos of the returning caskets? Now the only photos they take is when this coward of president "salutes" some for a "photo op". To say this administration and congress is pathetic is an understatement.
the facts
Just goes to show you. There is no STATE RUN MEDIA.

SO FAR OBLACK MUSLIM HAS GOLFED 3 TIMES MORE IN 1 YEAR THAN GEORGE BUSH DID IN 4 YEARS
iactuallyknowwhatiamtalkingabout
how about you add up all the days Bush spent at his ranch in Crawford? didn't he take an entire summer off? OH WAIT, YES HE DID!!!!
the facts
Racist, bigoted PIG. On second thought, I in no way intended to insult pigs.
moesite
the facts; i think you should consider changing your 'handle'.
Genjiro
I think I know what Obama truly is now. He'd rather have the title of president, be called Mr. President, fly around in AF One, be chauffered in style in that bullet proof car, go out on publicized outings, and play golf. He'd rather have all the amenities afforded the office but not the responsibility. He's playing president folks, loving the high life while our military has no clue on the goal for Afghanistan. The shame is incomprehensible.

Remember the good old days, when the government jus stole all of our money for themselves and their friends, and made no pretense of wealth redicstibution to anybody but from all of us to them?

"Bush Golfs While Iraq Burns" that was the headline two years ago....in Fantasy Land where Fox really is "Fair and Balanced"!
JustinCase
Oh...click on the actual link. It's not from Fox.
pegleg peggy
No, but Pox Nation put it up as red meat for its radical right regulars.
JustinCase
It is fair and balanced. It is "fair" to say that it is "balanced" against you.
DGHankins
what do GOP supporter think of Oboma now that he is sending more troop..this is what GOP and FOX support have been crying about for the last two mouth...now is he a good guy.
JustinCase
Take a mulligan on that one chief.
JustinCase
You're generalizing the GOP with the far right. As far as the war is concerned, conservatives want the troops to get the equipment, manpower, and moral support they deserve from the population and from the government. Domestically, they seek fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and maximum freedom.
Now on to the subject. I'd like to think that General McChrystal is a consumate professional...trained and educated to be in the position he is in. So why would this handpicked General give recommendations that don't make any sense? I'd argue that they do. But behind the scenes the goal is either vastly different from the public one, or...the President doesn't know what to do. So who is advising him on these matters? McChrystal? You'd think right because that's his job. But no. He's getting it from politicians...and if you have a son or daughter over there in harms way, you'd want the right decision made. But c'mon! Our children are in danger. Bring them back home now or let's get it done and do it right!
DGHankins
GOP never happy even when they get what they wont
The Center
I seem to remember Bush golfing alot while Iraq was burning...I don't remember Fox reporting on that either....hmmm.
JustinCase
Dont trust Fox...go here. Took Bush 2.5 years to play 25 rounds. That's roughly 100 hours of golf. Nice.
