Mourning our huge loss


Despite a request from the Special Operations Command to keep the names secret, the Pentagon yesterday released the names of the 30 Americans killed when their Chinook helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade launcher in Afghanistan. Those killed included some Navy Seals who were part of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. 30 of the best Americans one could ever hope to find. They had been called in to support Army Rangers who were in a fire-fight with Taliban terrorists who were planting roadside bombs. Who is supplying the Taliban with these weapons?

Obviously an inside job. Some sense of justice from the Taliban I suppose. I think our mission there is done and it's time to hand over the keys. Like Ben Franklin said, It's a republic if you can keep it.
