At least seven US soldiers have been killed and four others wounded, according to Afghan army commander General Abdul Hameed, when a suicide bomber attacked a military base in Kandahar Province.
Accoridng to reports the attacker was in a mini-van filled with explosives and denonated alongside the base. The explosion collapsed a wall, burying the soldiers beneath. NATO had yet to confirm the nationalities but the Afghan forces say all seven were Americans.
The deaths add further to the record 2010 death toll in Afghanistan, which is nearing 700 NATO soldiers killed this year. The vast majority of these deaths have been US soldiers.
The attack came the Zhari District, which NATO has occupied seven times since the 2001 invasion. Locals have been complaining about the most recent occupation, by US forces, saying that the troops are bulldozing civilian homes en masse.
GOD DAMN TO HELL EVERY CORRUPT US POLITICIAN AND PUNDIT WHO HELPED SEND THOSE MEN TO BE KILLED FOR NOTHING!
True. But they didn't have to join.
I notice the trend to always say "NATO" troops rather then American ones.
Bravo! person's estate deserves the Nobel peace prize–it just might get the Americans to leave
Wait- we didn't hear how Julian Assange was complicit in the attack, or how Iran was involved! GOSHDARNIT, US and Israeli propaganda ministries- don't give us the facts, give us what we want to hear!

The US ARMY does not give 2 SH** s if a young man is mentally or emotionally unstable. They sign up anyone willing to go. This is not only tragic, it is evil and unconstitutional violation of human rights.
