CBS News: Reports so far this month the US has lost thirty four of its Armed Forces Personnel. In total the USA has lost 119 of its Armed Forces Personnel this year as reported by iCasualties.org. In all iCasulties.org reports that since 2001 the USA has lost 749 personnel in Afghanistan. This shows in brutal terms that the USA is taking a heavy loss in the War in Afghanistan, the question is how long can President Obama keep his liberal base on side, the Liberal Leadership in Congress has already stated they will pull the plug after a year if Afghanistan does not turn around, it will take more than a year, also the War in Afghanistan is tied to how successful the Army of Pakistan is in fighting the terrorists on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, its going to take more than a year. The War in Afghanistan is the War President Obama wanted to fight, well its his war now, the Obama surge is down to him. Afghanistan can go three ways, a) The West has a clear win ( don't hold your breath for that ), b) The Taliban/Terrorists win, ( Obama and Brown can not afford that, thus expect more troops if need be to win or keep the place steady ), c) No win for either side, just a raising death toll and now way out, ( I hate to say this but that looks like the real end of this War, the Just War that you cant get rid off, the War that will define the USA and UK for years.
