(AP) Two U.S. soldiers died Monday in a firefight with insurgents in a
troubled southeastern Afghan province, the American military said, as it
warned that leaders of al Qaeda and the Taliban have held a series of
meetings in Pakistan to discuss how to disrupt Afghanistan's upcoming
elections.

Two other Americans and six Afghan government troops were also injured
in the battle in Paktika province, a military statement said.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
