'Since McChrystal took over a year ago, the Afghan war has become the exclusive property of the United States.'

Royal Marine shot dead in Afghanistan gun battle
A Royal Marine has been shot dead in a gun battle with insurgents in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The marine, from 40 Commando, was killed in the Sangin district of Helmand province on Tuesday.
The serviceman is the third from 40 Commando to have died in three days.
The death takes the total number of UK service personnel killed as a result of the Afghanistan conflict since 2001 to 302. The marine's family has been told.
When added to Obama's abuse of America's longest standing and closest ally (with his description of the Falkland Islands as the Malvinas and his blatantly anti-Britsh sentiment on 'British Petroleum') it makes you wonder why we bother.
