The two-bit little jerks who appear on the FOX NEWS "REDEYE" program belittled the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan the other night and said they were nothing but "targets" with their Red Coats. Do the clowns at FOX NEWS and their stupid "REDEYE" show see any Canadian troops wearing "red coats" in this video of a firefight between Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and the Taliban?

FOX NEWS should be ashamed of themselves for making a joke of the brave Canadian soldiers over in Afghanistan.

The little twerps on FOX NEWS "REDEYE" show claimed the other night that Canadian soldiers were all a bunch of chickens and now we are out to prove just how wrong FOX NEWS is and how they owe an apology to every Canadian soldier in Afghanistan to the Canadian people.

The worst part of all this is there is not a single person at FOX NEWS who has ever served in the military in combat. They are all too chicken. Could you imagine Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity in the military? What a laugh. Both of them would would have been victims of "friendly fire" if they had been in my Army Combat Engineer Company during the Korean War.

Someday the American people are going to wake up and realize FOX NEWS is not an American news network, but a right wing piece of propaganda garbage more in keeping with the Third Reich.

In this video, you will see Canadian soldiers fighting and dying in Afghanistan and if you still want to believe the crap FOX NEWS puts out then I feel sorry for you because you are dumber than a box of rocks.

CNN REPORTS: ARMY VET BILLED $3,000 FOR WAR WOUNDS

Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

Story Highlights
Wounded soldier gets billed $3,000 for wounds suffered in Iraq
"I put my life on the line ... and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"
Army Sgt. Erik Roberts was wounded in April 2006; he's had 13 surgeries on his leg
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio urged the VA to act; VA agrees to pay bill

By Wayne Drash CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/26/wounded.warrior/index.html

(CNN) -- Erik Roberts, an Army sergeant who was wounded in Iraq, underwent his 13th surgery recently to save his right leg from amputation. Imagine his shock when he got a bill for $3,000 for his treatment.

"I just thought it was bull---- that I'm getting billed for being wounded in Iraq doing my job. I always put the mission first, and now that I was wounded in Iraq, they're sending me bills," he said.
"I put my life on the line and I was wounded in combat, and I came back and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"

It's a level of outrage shared by his mother, as well as the doctor who performed the surgery.
"It's hard to understand why we're not taking care of guys like Erik whose injuries are clearly related to their service. They deserve the best care of anybody," said Dr. William Obremskey, an Air Force veteran and surgeon at Vanderbilt Orthopaedics in Nashville, Tennessee."For him to be responsible for $3,000, I think, is a little ridiculous or is uncalled for, particularly in this situation."

His mother, Robin Roberts, put it more succinctly: "Why should any soldier pay one penny of a medical bill from injuries that occurred while they were fighting in a war? That's what really frustrates me."

The Department of Veterans Affairs has now decided to pay his bill, but only after prodding from a U.S. senator who got involved after CNN brought it to his attention.

Roberts, of Warren, Ohio, is one of more than 31,100 U.S. troops to have been wounded in Iraq. An additional 4,262 have died in the war.

Roberts was wounded April 25, 2006, when roadside bombs tore through his Humvee in western Baghdad. Heat from the flames ignited the Humvee's ammunition, which popped off all around. See Roberts describe getting blown up »

Roberts and his buddies, A.J. Jefferson and Luke Murphy, were badly wounded and bleeding on the ground after jumping from the burning vehicle. They were saved by comrades who rushed to help them.

"The truck automatically filled with smoke. There was fire coming from the middle of the truck. And I just feel my whole right side just like kind of explode," Roberts said. "I thought at that moment that my life was over, so I started praying."

All three soldiers survived the attack, but Murphy lost his leg. Days later, on his 23rd birthday, Roberts returned to the States. He underwent a series of life-saving surgeries, including 12 different ones to repair his fractured right leg. A metal rod was inserted in his upper leg to help the fracture heal.

OBAMA UNVEILS PLANS FOR AFGHANISTAN WAR--NEW YORK TIMES

The long anticipated plans for the war in Afghanistan will be unveiled by the Obama administration on Friday. Below is the first report from the New York Times on what President Obama's plans are for Afghanistan.

Obama to Set Benchmarks in Fight Against Militants

By PETER BAKER and THOM SHANKER
THE NEW YORK TIMES

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/washington/27prexy.html?_r=1&h

WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to further bolster American forces in Afghanistan and for the first time set benchmarks for progress in fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban there and in Pakistan, officials said Thursday.

In imposing conditions on the Afghans and Pakistanis, Mr. Obama is replicating a strategy used in Iraq two years ago both to justify a deeper American commitment and prod governments in the region to take more responsibility for quelling the insurgency and building lasting political institutions.

“The era of the blank check is over,” Mr. Obama told Congressional leaders at the White House, according to an account of the meeting provided on the condition of anonymity because it was a private session.

The new strategy, which Mr. Obama will formally announce Friday, will send 4,000 more troops to train Afghan security forces on top of the 17,000 extra combat troops that he already ordered to Afghanistan shortly after taking office, administration and Congressional officials said. But for now, Mr. Obama has decided not to send additional combat forces, they said, although military commanders at one point had requested a total of 30,000 more American troops.

Although the administration is still developing the specific benchmarks for Afghanistan and Pakistan, officials said they would be the most explicit demands ever presented to the governments in Kabul and Islamabad. In effect, Mr. Obama would be insisting that two fractured countries plagued by ancient tribal rivalries and modern geopolitical hostility find ways to work together and transform their societies.

American officials have repeatedly said that Afghanistan has to make more progress in fighting corruption, curbing the drug trade and sharing power with the regions, while they have insisted that Pakistan do more to cut ties between parts of its government and the Taliban. Mr. Obama telephoned President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan on Thursday to share the main elements of the strategic review.

"THE SURGE" WAS MORE A "MIRAGE" THAN A MILITARY SUCCESS IN BAGHDAD, UCLA STUDY FINDS

UCLA study of satellite imagery casts doubt on surge's success in Baghdad

By
Meg Sullivan
9/18/2008 9:01:00 PM

http://tinyurl.com/d3q6u8

By tracking the amount of light emitted by Baghdad neighborhoods at night, a team of UCLA geographers has uncovered fresh evidence that last year's U.S. troop surge in Iraq may not have been as effective at improving security as some U.S. officials have maintained.

Night light in neighborhoods populated primarily by embattled Sunni residents declined dramatically just before the February 2007 surge and never returned, suggesting that ethnic cleansing by rival Shiites may have been largely responsible for the decrease in violence for which the U.S. military has claimed credit, the team reports in a new study based on publicly available satellite imagery.

"Essentially, our interpretation is that violence has declined in Baghdad because of intercommunal violence that reached a climax as the surge was beginning," said lead author John Agnew, a UCLA professor of geography and authority on ethnic conflict. "By the launch of the surge, many of the targets of conflict had either been killed or fled the country, and they turned off the lights when they left."

The team reports its findings in the October issue of "Environment and Planning A," a leading peer-reviewed academic journal that specializes in urban and environmental planning issues.

The night-light signature in four other large Iraqi cities — Kirkuk, Mosul, Tikrit and Karbala — held steady or increased between the spring of 2006 and the winter of 2007, the UCLA team found. None of these cities were targets of the surge.

Baghdad's decreases were centered in the southwestern Sunni strongholds of East Rashid and West Rashid, where the light signature dropped 57 percent and 80 percent, respectively, during the same period.
