Gunmen ambushed a car carrying Afghan civilians working on a remote U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan and killed eight of them execution-style.
U.S. and Afghan troops, meanwhile, raided a compound linked to bomb makers early Friday, killing one suspected militant and detaining four others, the U.S.-led coalition said. During the operation in the eastern Khost province village of Bodakhel, one militant pointed a gun at soldiers, who shot him dead, a coalition statement said. Troops found explosives, detonation cords and multiple blasting caps.
On Thursday, suicide bombings in the southern province of Helmand killed a British soldier, two children and a policeman.
Let me know if anybody needs more shit added to thier day.

When the Bush Administration are comparing the situation in the war to the Tet Offensive, you know the situation is totally fucked and is not getting better any time soon (no, really?) Even Bush acknowledged the similarity.
Blair has called for a complete pullout within sixteen months.
Could it be that they're finally waking up and smelling the rotting corpses? Or is it that plummeting poll numbers actually have some espect (ESPECT?? Try Effect, too early in the evening for me...) some EFFECT on them?
Talk about thick.
For that matter, talk about thieves.
I always think it's so cute when small children are exposed to the consequences of the Bush regime for the first time..."Mommy, why is that man standing next to a pile of bloody corpses...?" That catatonic glaze in thier eyes just melts my heart. I can't believe Condi Rice & pals don't just go knocking over liquor stores for the hell of it. They seem to be able to get away with everything else.
Tont Blair must feel like a jaded lover...He jumped in bed with us only to discover we were more diseased than a french whore in Mardi gras. And now he has to explain to Western Europe just exactly what that pus sore is.
I was just saying to a friend last night that Bush has nothing to lose now. If he doesn't save the day in the next year, he'll go down in history as the president who shit on America (He probably will anyway). He can't be re-elected, so he has GOT to go out with a bang this term. Thus far, we haven't had an attack equal to the 9-11 atrocity. My prediction is that if Bush can't coax an Al-Qeada terrorist to blow something up plenty quick-quick, he'll probably send a S.E.A.L. team to do it & blame it on the Arabs. He has to remind us of why we need him so badly, and why it's worth giving up every shred of our lives & freedoms we fought so hard to achieve some 200-odd years ago.
After this past decade, we really have to ask a painful question: Are we certian that we are fit to rule ourselves? Shit, call me unAmerican, but right now I would welcome alien conquerors from Betelgeuse-6 as long as they did a better job than this.
Dagon knows they couldn't do much worse.
The Shrub has managed to shit on everything good about America and wipe his ass on what's left of "that damned piece of paper" - the Constitution. I really do think he is the worst president in history Buchanan and Harrison notwithstanding.
I'm currently offering odds, long ones but still there for real money, that he will find a way to cancel either the midterm congressional elections or the Presidential ones in 2008 to hold onto power. Even in his bubble there must be some nagging fear of Nuremberg trials to go with his Nuremberg laws.
The Republic lasted 230 years, 3 months and 12 days. It survived depressions, civil war, foreign wars, Know Nothings and the closing of the frontier. It could not survive fear, greed and indifference. If you really want to ruin your day check out the latest issue of Rolling Stone. Taibibi has a damning article about the pathetic state of Congress.
He's also managed to make the same stupid mistake that the USSR and the Brits made - conquering Afghanistan. It's not hard to invade. It's impossible to hold unless you do it Mongol style or start by bombing every village flat and poisoning all the wells.
Dagon knows a lot of other things too.
Also, are you aware that Bush is purchasing a 100,000 acre tract of land in Paraguay?
"Coincidentally," Paraguay also just legislated a law granting immunity from war crimes prosecution to US military personnel.
Google news for Bush Paraguay.
It's also on top of the biggest aquifer in the country. Hydraulic despotism yippee yo kiyay!
