Navy Chief Petty Officer Brian Naranjo says the attacks happened on Saturday.

Southern Afghanistan is the center of the Taliban-led insurgency, which has made a violent comeback since its initial defeat in the U.S.-led invasion. Thousands of U.S. Marines and British troops are conducting anti-Taliban operations in the region ahead of this month's presidential elections.

Separately, a French soldier was killed and two others were wounded during a clash with insurgents north of Kabul, the French military said in a statement.

KABUL (AP) — NATO says three of its troops were killed in two roadside blasts in southern Afghanistan.

The military alliance says the blasts hit their patrol on Saturday. It did not provide details on the nationalities of the victims or the exact location of the blast.

The number of NATO and other foreign troops killed in clashes and bombing has soared this year. With 74 foreign troops killed, July was the deadliest month for foreign troops since the start of the war in 2001.

Blaming O'Bots for the continuing bloodshed there is akin to blaming Republican Party members who supported Dr. Ron Paul throughout the last few years for Bush having started the bogus wars since 9/11 to begin with.

Obama is for the Afghanistan war, obviously. But if you'll check any reputable public opinion poll of those who were his earliest and staunchest supporters and followers, you will find that they are ANTI-ALL WARS and voted for him IN SPITE OF his pledge to ramp up the Af/Pak operations.

It is no accident that the earliest, most vociferous and most enthusiastic grassroots support of the 2007-08 presidential derby coalesced two years ago around the campaigns of Paul and Obama. At that time they were BOTH TOTALLY ANTI-WAR, IIRC. Obama later on was told by his NWO advisers (Soros and Brzezinski come to mind) that he HAD to support Af/Pak and so he dutifully modulated his anti-war rhetoric in favor of what he now supports.

Huh?

First, RPs support didn't come from Republicans.

Second, RP was against the war while the Rs supported it.

Third, Obama supported the war, and the Os on this board did too.

In order to vote for Ron Paul last year, you had to vote as a Republican. All who voted for Paul by definition became Republicans, at least for that day.

That is one of the MAJOR problems with Ron Paul, IMO. He IS a Republican and always will be. He ran once as a Libertarian for President (and I voted for him), but he went crawling back to the GOPers several years after that.

He's spoken to this clearly enough over the years.

While he isn't rude to the GOP, he regards it solely as a vehicle to elect libertarians and constitutionalists (those two being pretty much synonymous to RP).

He always cites the difficulty and expense for independent or third-party candidates to have ballot access.

RP could himself get elected as an independent since he has a very loyal district and his relationship to his district is longstanding. I think he stays Republican to encourage other libertarians to do the same. And the GOP is (or was) slightly less statist than the Dims. He also cites the Old Right and its focus on small-government and non-interventionism as the thing that makes the GOP better than the Dims.

Keep in mind, RP has watched the two parties longer than most of us and so he measures the two parties with a longer yardstick.
