AUGUST DEADLIEST MONTH FOR U.S. IN AFGHANISTAN

KABUL — An American service member died Friday when his vehicle struck a bomb in eastern Afghanistan, making August the deadliest month for U.S. forces in the nearly eight-year war.

The grim milestone comes as the top U.S. commander prepares to submit his assessment of the conflict – a report expected to trigger intense debate on the Obama administration's strategy in an increasingly unpopular war.

The latest death was reported as Afghan officials announced an 80 percent increase in the number of major fraud allegations submitted after last week's disputed presidential election – a sign of the deep challenges facing the U.S. and its allies in shoring up a legitimate Afghan government capable of withstanding the Taliban insurgency, corruption and drug trafficking.

FANTASTIC VIDEO OF THE LIES THAT LED TO THE IRAQ WAR

This video is a composite of various members of the Bush administration and how they lied to get us into the Iraq War. The lies have cost the lives of nearly 4,500 young Americans as well as over 30,000 severely wounded with wounds that will leave them disabled for life. There are also reports that upwards of one million Iraqi citizens have been killed since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.
