NEWS ALERT: TOP AMERICAN COMMANDER IN AFGHANISTAN, GEN. MCCHRYSTAL, SAYS STRAGEGY IS "FAILING."

General Stanley McChrystal, the top US Commander in Afghanistan, says the current mission in Afghanistan is failing and he wants President Obama and Congress to send him more troops. The mission in Afghanistan keeps changing and the current position is to train Afghans to take control of their own destiny. The United States military is also facing a very delicate balancing act because many of the Afghan population feel the recent election was corrupt and the United States is on the side of the current government. The situation in Afghanistan is spiraling out of control and nobody in Washington or the military seems to have a clear cut idea on what to do next in Afghanistan. The Republicans are pushing for more troops because even though it would cost many American lives the Republicans would rather see young Americans die in Afghanistan if it is going to mean the Afghanistan war is a debacle under President Obama.

LISTEN AND WATCH AS APACHE HELICOPTERS WIPEOUT ROADSIDE BOMBERS IN AFGHANISTAN

While conducting deliberate operations in support of Operation Panchai Palang, an Aerial Weapons Team of AH-64 Apache helicopters from the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade (TF Pegasus) observed six insurgents emplacing an improvised explosive device near Highway 601.

Enemy forces operating along that highway were routinely targeting perceived soft targets with complex attacks; initiating attacks with IEDs followed by small arms fire and rocket propelled grenade attacks.

After validating the individuals as IED emplacers and ensuring the area was clear of civilians, the team engaged and destroyed three of the IED emplacers. The team followed and engaged the remaining three individuals. Task Force Pegasus employed an IED exploitation team to gather information and items from the site.
