It has not been a day since Finnish peacekeepers were attacked in Afghanistan with a roadside bomb. Two of them were seriously injured and one of them suffered a spinal fracture. Now eight troops of the U.S. Military are dead after being attacked in two different outposts.

On Saturday night in Nuristan which is close to the Pakistan border some fighters attacked the American soldiers from a village near the outposts. There is no certain information about the outposts still being intact and there is doubt about them being taken over by the attackers. The military remains silent about the state of the outposts.

There has been insecuritites like this before in Afghanistan back in 2008 when nine soldiers died in a similar attack.

After two weeks of hesitation The White House has annonced their response to the election of the new Afghan President Hamid Karzai. He was the winner in the recent disputable election where they found proof that almost a fifth of all the votes might have been fraudulent.

Obamas Administration clearly turned their backs on their previous standards to not take take a stand before the investigation of a possibly rigged voting has completed. They have admitted that Karzai will be the president for the following half a decade because of the fact that even if there was a re-vote he would most certainly be still elected due to his large and wide spread group of supporters.

This is going to definitely force President Obama to give further reasons for US troop deplyoments to Afghanistan.
