US forces suffered one of their bloodiest days in eight years of war in Afghanistan with eight soldiers killed when their remote outposts were overrun by hundreds of Taliban militants, officials said on Sunday.[...]
"Coalition forces effectively repelled the attack and inflicted heavy enemy casualties while eight ISAF and two ANSF (Afghan National Security Force) service members were killed," it said.
[...]
A Taliban spokesman claimed that 30 foreign and Afghan troops were killed and that they captured the police chief of Kamdesh district as well as 30 Afghan National Army soldiers.
[...]
NATO is battling to quell a deadly insurgency that is spreading across Afghanistan, nearly eight years after the hardline Islamist Taliban were ousted from power.
[...]
Security has worsened in the previously calm north and west and insurgent attacks increased before the August 20 presidential election.
Like in the south and the east, fighting between militants and international forces has now become a daily occurrence.
So, yeah, this is a great time to attack Iran, as the war hawks are screaming.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
