Wow, I did a search for Afghanistan, figuring we would have had some discussions on it recently. There were some miscellaneous posts, but this was the most clearly relevant. This has been a way more quiet campaign, my bias against the media would say it was deliberate to keep pressure off President Obama, than the daily reports and counts from Iraq.

We have been laying siege for 7 days in this one town, but I don't see numbers of injured like we did on the daily Iraq count. Maybe we have been brutally efficient, but in door to door fighting, and with the opposition having "skilled sharpshooters" preventing us from advancing, I find it hard to believe that no major casualties have been suffered.
