A clear sign that US forces should stay in Afghan little longer.

Sorry, Americans just got lucky this time, my guess the Taliban was just testing the US armed forces reflexes and they will perfect their attacks and next time we will not be able to read such happy news. Time for more drone missiles to get these Taliban??

Oh please they have had 10 years to perfect their attacks for the next time on American military bases. Most likely this was nothing more than an attack to get into the news, IE a propaganda attack because of the fact that they can't overrun these bases/capture these bases.

Why is it that the US military doesn't know when it's not wanted?

Afghanis don't want the US military around so much that they are willing to blow themselves up to try to make their point.

I'm sick of US warmongering and I'm not even living in Afghanistan.

There is no war in Afghanistan to be won.

Go home!

Could this be because the Afghan people as a whole do not want an invading army on their soil? Surely, they wouldn't think that people who drop bombs from planes on their country are guilty of terrorism?

Who said they were Afghans? They very well could be Taliban.

If the Afghan people were as against US forces as you claim they are the US military would have already been decimated by the Afghan population. It is a minority that want the US to leave. That doesn't mean that in time when conditions improve that they won't want the US to leave, they will but for now they don't. At least not in the numbers you claim. Also do you honestly believe this is the first suicide bomber in Afghanistan?

You absorb too much Beck and Limbaugh. Unhook yourself and realize its more than American liberals critical of the foolish and evil occupation of Afghanistan. Oh, yeah, I know some Americans actually think they are there trying to help or that its actually necessary to defend America by running around in the sand halfway around the globe. But the people pulling the strings know better and play people like you for suckers.

America targets countries with resources and the incapacity for self defense-that much is obvious
