US and British deaths double, wounded triple, in Afghanistan

Deaths for the invading armies have doubled in 2010 compared to 2009. Wounded numbers have trippled. And the solution? Send tens of thousands more troops to pointless death in an unwinnable war.

And not a single Canadian, eh??? Make that 141 ............ but who's counting? Especially as they were given the most dangerous region from the start - Kandahar, which has the highest casualty rate of any deployment there.

Seems to be a pattern in journalistic reporting, Canadians who were put into the most dangerous missions in both WW's were barely counted too, I guess they're invisible.


Stop these horrible wars.

1. It will only get worse this year.
The Kandahar offensive is coming in June.

2. Many more lives will be wasted if the war and fear mongers
continue to have their way.

This is going to be a very dark period in our history. Perhaps a turning point.
