I was going to post a followup to a recent post I had done referancing some disturbing news, but suspected, out of Afganistan. That post, a few days ago, followed the extremely sad news about the loss of the nine soldiers, fifteen injured, in a battle at a small fire base they held by Afgan insugents. This U.S. Abandons Site of Afghan Attack is a recent report on that and as the title says the American forces abandoned the base.

There have been so many times over the past few years that it seems like watching news is like watching a poorly-translated film with an out-of-synch soundtrack. Or maybe like being overseas watching a Chinese movie with English subtitles, in a Thai theater where the film guy was also the "live translation".
