WAR WEARY AMERICANS LOSE INTEREST IN AFGHANISTAN WAR

The Afghanistan War has been placed on the back burner if not taken off the stove completely by most Americans.

I've watched the "hits" to my anti-war blog skid from 3,000 a day to under 200 "hits" a day as Americans show they are no longer interested in the war even though we still have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Interest in the Afghanistan is so bad that MITT ROMNEY and his VP partner PAUL RYAN never even mentioned the war in their speeches to the Republican Convention.

Read the USA Today report on how interest in the Afghanistan war has sunk to a new low here:  http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2012-09-08/afghanistan-soldiers-war-deaths/57698900/1#

Marines attack key Afghan insurgent border hub

Marines with 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion struck a key insurgent trafficking hub on the Pakistan-Helmand province border March 14-17. The attack was a part of Operation Rawhide II, an effort to stop the flow of narcotics, weapons, and fighters into, out of, and around southern Afghanistan. The insurgency in Afghanistan traditionally reloads and goes on the offensive in the spring and summer seasons. As Sergeant Jeremy Ross reports, Marines in the far south of Helmand province went out to stop this year's spring offensive before it can begin.

AFGHANISTAN WAR NOT FORGOTTEN

Thanks Mr. President and Mr. Vice President for remembering our troops still deployed to Afghanistan.  A far cry from Romney and Ryan who never mentioned the Afghanistan war at all.

Despite a lack of coverage on the mainstream media - the war in Afghanistan is still volatile - and far from over - as people continue to die every day. Can the US Government find a clean exit strategy for Afghanistan - or are we in store for more violence in the years to come?

All coalition troops at Afghan bases now armed around the clock

CLICK ON ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO

The uptick in attacks by Afghan security forces against coalition troops has hit home, with all troops at NATO headquarters and all bases across Afghanistan now ordered to carry loaded weapons around the clock, CNN learned Friday.

Gen. John Allen, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, ordered the move, according to a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the orders. The order, made in recent days, was divulged amid two more so-called green-on-blue or insider attacks Friday.

An Afghan police officer opened fire on U.S. troops in Farah province in southwestern Afghanistan, killing two service members, the NATO-led command said. Two International Security Assistance Force troops and an Afghan service member were wounded by another Afghan service member in Kandahar province, in the south.

The order comes as coalition forces adopt and study measures aimed at thwarting such attacks.
