    I'm hoping the service member's name is something like O'Leary or McTavish or Smith.

    I hope it was only one service member, but if it wasn't they better not try to cover anything up

    Odds are pretty good there have been many many before.

    Won't happen before November. Obama's too chicken to take the heat from the right for "losing" the war there. Even if it makes sense to leave the kingdom of the Sandpeople.

    When we leave, Afghanistan will be more of a cluster than it was before 9/11.

    At least we'll have drone strikes to hit those terrorists.

    Yes, you're absolutely right: this tool is a terrorist.
    But some will use it to mitigate every terrorist act committed against us in the past.

    If we leave Afghanistan now we'll all be speaking Farsi in 2 years and our women will be wearing burka's.

    It's time to leave Afghanistan. More incidences like this would be worse for Obama in November than pulling out.

    I found it interesting that The Times keeps referring to "NATO" troops.

    No it won't. Republicans criticize him on Afghanistan, and all Obama has to do is say, "This war was your idea in the first place."

    Afghanistan was the "good war", the one Democrats "wanted" to fight, the war that Iraq was a distraction from.
