more blood on bush's hands

101 U.S. soldiers dead in Afghanistan so far this year.

“The U.S. military suffered its 101st death of the year in Afghanistan last week when Sgt. 1st Class David J. Todd Jr….died of gunfire wounds while helping train Afghan police in the northwest,” the AP reports. The 111 U.S. troops killed last year in Afghanistan “was a record itself and is likely to be surpassed.” “The U.S. is now losing the war against the Taliban,” Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies wrote in a report Thursday. In Iraq, 239 U.S. soldiers have died this year, despite reductions in violence.
