With 7 American soldiers among the killed:
Bombs and bullets killed seven American troops on Monday, the deadliest day for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in nearly a year—and a sign that the war being fought in the Taliban heartland of the south and east could now be expanding north.
Separately, Taliban militants claimed on a militant Web site that they were holding an American soldier whom the U.S. military says insurgents might have captured last week. The Taliban statement, however, did not include any proof, such as a picture or the soldier’s name.
This is to be a long, bitter fight which will have many ups and downs – but as long as we remain stout hearted and our political leadership doesn’t panic, the magnificent men and women of our armed forces will carry the matter through. I urge President Obama to provide whatever support is necessary and, as well, to make frequent mention of the battle in order to continually remind Americans that our best are in harm’s way.
