    KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - A devastating roadside-bomb explosion killed six Canadian soldiers Sunday in the worst single-day toll for the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

    The explosion west of Kandahar city also caused serious but non-life-threatening injuries to one Canadian soldier and light injuries to another .

    The soldiers were in a moving vehicle when the blast occurred around 1:30 p.m. The more seriously injured soldier will likely be flown to Germany for treatment at a U.S. military hospital.

    Damn that's bad, what do you think of the news you posted, good or bad?

    You'll probably think it's good that they got killed, being as they are 6 less soldiers to kill you friends but maybe with it being soldiers from Canada they might get your sympathy slightly hrm......

    It's a serious question as your postings normally have an angle but with this one it's not too clear:confused:

    Very bad news. Deaths of our NATO friends are always a tragedy.

    Your spot on for once, if the Taliban didn't side with Osama there would be nothing to clean up, just a hunt for Osama;)

    put more effort, yet bring our troops home? which can it be? Libs often scream "GET THEM OUT!" and now you are saying "put more effort"?

    you could put more effort without having to send 1/2 of the army to catch 1 pers .

    how? the CIA has the best technology at their disposal...but how do you catch a guy that lives in caves and sends messages by hand? more money maybe? then tell the lib controlled congress to pass the budget and quit worrying about pork projects and time lines...
