KABUL: July is shaping up as the deadliest month of the Afghan war for US-led international forces, with the number killed already matching the highest full-month toll of the nearly eight-year conflict, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press. As of Wednesday, at least 46 international troops, including 24 Americans, had been killed in Afghanistan this month, according to statements by the US military and the NATO command. That matches the tolls for the two previous deadliest months – June and August of 2008. The rate of deaths in July – about three a day – is approaching some of the highest levels of the Iraq war. In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell acknowledged that the US has lost troops “at an alarming rate this month”. He told reporters that July has been “an extraordinarily difficult month for all of us who are so heavily invested in trying to better the situation in Afghanistan”. ap

i think this is the high time for US to leave this region … it has already destroyed the peace of this region under the pretext of so called “war of terrorism”
