2 GIs Among Bombers' Victims in Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- A suicide car bomber struck a convoy of U.S. military vehicles in downtown Kabul on Friday, killing at least 16 people, including two American soldiers, and wounding 29 others, officials and witnesses said.

The blast, near the U.S. Embassy, came as NATO chiefs appealed for member nations to send reinforcements to combat resurgent Taliban militants fanning the deadliest violence in five years. A top British general said the fighting in volatile southern Afghanistan was now more ferocious than in Iraq....

Coulter: Bin Laden Is ‘Irrelevant,’ ‘Things Are Going Swimmingly In Afghanistan’
Last night on Hannity and Colmes, guest host Kirsten Powers confronted Ann Coulter about President Bush’s failure to capture Osama Bin Laden and the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

Coulter responded, “As for catching Osama, it’s irrelevant. Things are going swimmingly in Afghanistan.” Powers blasted Coulter for her answer. Coulter then abruptly decided to end her participation in the middle of the segment, saying, “OK, well, good night! It was nice being here.” Watch it:

5. "As for catching Osama, it’s irrelevant" = "As for 9/11, it’s irrelevant"

What a skanky whore.

[rpannier]

6. by swimmingly she meant

middle eastern people are drowning so it doesn't matter.
For corporate America it's been a huge windfall.

[KurtNYC]

7. And you're surprised? shocked?

personally I'm bored by this stuff -- limbaugh said something outrageous, O'Reilly lied, blah blah blah. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Saying Coulter is wrong is like saying the sun will come up tomorrow.

[varun]

8. no, I am not surprised, but someone needs to bring up these facts the next

time Coulter and Limpballs spout off...

[KurtNYC]

9. or someone needs to just change the channel

what these types need is less audience, less repetition of what they say, less echo chamber and less impact IMHO

11. "swimmingly"..if you don't mind the piranhas.

"When you're wounded and lyin' on Afghanistan's plains,
And, the women are comin' to cut up the remains,
Just roll on y'er rifle and blow out y'er brains,
And, go to y'er Gawd like a soldier."

Rudyard Kipling

My grandfather was a Brit soldier who fought in Afghanistan. With about the same results as are being achieved now.
