This is a playlist of 33 videos from the war in Afghanistan and will make you wonder why we are planning on sending another 40,000 troops into this quagmire.
The 33 videos contain footage of US, British, Irish, German and other coalition troops fighting against the Taliban in Afghanistan.
For the most part, Afghanistan is a mountainous country that is virtually inhabitable. The rest of the country is used to produce 90 percent of the poppy that is distributed to the United States and throughout the world with the money going to support the Taliban.
There may be breaks in this playlist, but hang in there and eventually all of the videos will be shown.
WARNING: Some of the videos depict graphic footage and strong language.

DESPITE WHAT FOX NEWS SAYS THE IRAQ WAR IS NOT OVER. 12 KILLED SUNDAY IN ANBAR PROVINCE BOMBINGS
IRAQ: 12 killed in Anbar bombings
SAMEER N. YACOUB
The Associated Press
http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/world/mideast/20091011_ap_iraqi12killedinanbarbombings.html
BAGHDAD - A series of bombings killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens more Sunday in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi, said police and hospital officials, a worrying sign that violence maybe on the rise in this former hotbed of the insurgency.
The first explosion occurred in a parking lot near the police headquarters for Anbar province and the provincial council building in the city of Ramadi, said a Ramadi police official.
As police and bystanders rushed to the scene, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up among the crowds, said the police official. According to the official, a third explosion took place later but there were few details available.
Secondary explosions timed to kill rescuers and security forces responding to an earlier bomb were a hallmark of Al-Qaida in Iraq forces during the height of the insurgency.
The police official said 16 people were killed in the explosions, while an official at the Ramadi hospital said 12 bodies were brought to the hospital.

WHY IS PRESIDENT OBAMA THINKING ABOUT SENDING MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN? (WATCH VIDEOS)
These videos give you an idea of what it is like on the ground in Afghanistan. President Obama is considering sending at least 40,000 more troops into Afghanistan. Nobody has yet defined the mission or an exit strategy. Afghanistan is twice the size of Iraq and it would take forever to bring peace to the country. The Afghan government is in shambles and can't even control Kabul let alone all of Afghanistan. Al Queda no longer operates out of Afghanistan and the Taliban are a series of splinter groups with no single person in charge of their operations.
In short, Afghanistan is a mess and will only get worse with more US troops sent to the region.

METALLICA HELPS US NEVER FORGET WHO STARTED THE IRAQ WAR
The Republicans and Conservatives on TV and radio want Americans to forget it was the Bush administration who started the war in Iraq that so far has cost nearly 4,500 American lives and over 35,000 wounded.
The same thing could happen in Afghanistan if President Obama goes ahead with the military wishes for more troops.

HOOAH!!!! APACHE HELICOPTERS DESTROY TALIBAN POSITIONS IN AFGHANISTAN
Watch video of Apache helicopters destroying enemy fighting positions above the village of Donga, Afghanistan. The positions were discovered a day earlier during an ambush of a patrol conducting a key leader engagement. With help from a forward observer, the helicopters identified the targets, ensuring no civilians were present and then destroyed the positions using their 30 mm cannon and rockets. Produced by Sgt. Justin Puetz with the 5th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment.

THIS VIDEO OUT OF AFGHANISTAN MAY BE HARD TO TAKE
The reason this video out of the war in Afghanistan may be hard for some to take is because you hear American troops screaming as the Taliban hit them with mortars and RPGs.

SAD VIDEO: 6-YEAR OLD HEATHER MARTIN SINGS "WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?"
This song and performance by 6-year old Heather Martin was voted one of the best You Tube videos made about family members in the military.
The Martin family would like to thank all who voted for Heather's video in the YouTube Awards!Also thank you for all of the prayers and kind remarks.
This song is not meant to make a political statement of any kind. It's simply about a family that is missing a brother. The young man who joined the army did so of his own free will. He was 20 years old and his parents played no part in his decision to serve his country.
They are proud to have such a brave son. I am only the best friend (for 34 years) of the mother, Cindy. It is my honor to post this video on YouTube.
All of the wonderful messages that I have received are being forwarded to Heather and her mother.Heather loves to sing. Since she was small she has always tried to get to the microphone first at church so she could sing.
She always loved karaoke and would beg for the mic. She still loves singing more than just about anything. Heather loves her brother and misses him. She has many memories of him. He comes home every chance he gets and will probably get to come home for a short time in February or March.
Before I truned on the camera Heather was really acting silly and laughing. What many of you have said looks like crying at the first is just Heather rubbing her eyes like any 6 year old might do.
6 year old Heather Martin sings a song that her mother wrote for her Brother Shaun who is serving in Iraq. The song is written from Heather's point of view.
Good News: Heather's brother is back in the USA!!!

"DADDY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"--VIDEO AND SONG BY BRIAN WARDWELL
About the song: A young man asks questions as his Daddy goes off to war. A patriotic song for the times. Performed by Brian Wardwell. Written by Tommy Joe Myers and Jim Flynn.
This is the type of video the mainstream media should be showing instead of all the petty back-biting going on over President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

VIDEO OF HOW TALIBAN ATTEMPTS KILL DREAMS OF YOUNG SCHOOLGIRLS
As Pakistan President Asif Zardari admitted to the strong presence of the Taliban in Pakistan, one of the most affected by the fighting there have been schoolgirls. The Taliban burnt down over 125 girls schools in the province calling women's education un-Islamic, and converted the remains of the building into their local headquarters.
If President Obama decides to send an additional 40,000 troops into Afghanistan, the blood-thirsty Taliban will cross from Pakistan to Afghanistan to fight the American troops.

SHOCKING VIDEO: US TROOPS BURST INTO SWEDISH HOSPITAL IN AFGHANISTAN
U.S. troops burst into a Swedish charity-run hospital in Afghanistan and tied up patients' relatives and staff, the charity said last week, in what it called a breach of deals between the military and aid groups.
The Swedish Committee for Afghanistan says soldiers had entered its hospital in Wardak, south of Kabul, without explanation and conducted a search, including of female wards and toilets.

MUST SEE: UNBELIEVEABLE VIDEO OF TALIBAN ATTACKING US TROOPS THAT KILLED 8 AMERICANS LAST WEEK
KABUL — Militant fighters streaming from an Afghan village and a mosque attacked a pair of remote outposts near the Pakistani border, killing eight U.S. soldiers and as many as seven Afghan forces in one of the fiercest battles of the eight-year war.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the deadliest attack for coalition forces since a similar raid in July 2008 killed nine American soldiers in the same mountainous region known as an al-Qaida haven.
The U.S. has already said it plans to pull its soldiers from the isolated area to focus on Afghan population centers.Fighting began around dawn Saturday and lasted several hours, said Jamaludin Badar, governor of Nuristan province.
Badar said the two outposts were on a hill — one near the top and one at the foot of the slope — flanked by the village on one side and the mosque on the other.
Nearly 300 militant fighters flooded the lower, Afghan outpost then swept around it to reach the American station on higher ground from both directions, said Mohammad Qasim Jangulbagh, the provincial police chief.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE OUR TROOPS ARE FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN (NEW VIDEO)
The Pakistani province of Baluchistan on the border with Afghanistan, has re-emerged as a Taliban sanctuary, according to the US military.
That has made it a potential target for Nato forces in the region.
But, in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Nawab Aslam Raisani, Baluchistan's chief minister has warned that any US attacks on his soil could seriously backfire.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reports from the border town of Quetta in Pakistan.
