Upping The Ante In Afgannystan

Roadside bomb attacks on U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan have risen sharply this autumn, reversing the seasonal decline that usually occurs with the onset of winter, according to Pentagon data released on Thursday.The latest statistics for improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, show the number of incidents climbing 19 percent to 315 in November from 264 in October, with coalition casualties at 83 killed or wounded compared to 78 in October.

Imagine that! When there gets to be 20K troops or more sent there will be even more targets and death for an effort that will not be won. This is not going to be good and one does not need to be a Middle East expert to understand.
