Nothing like exposing a MSM lie:
"Record level of violence in Afghanistan"
"US military deaths, suicide bombings and opium production hit record highs in 2007. Taliban militants killed more than 925 Afghan police. But US officials insist things are looking up....
Six years after the 2001 US-led invasion, violence is pervasive in wide swathes of southern Afghanistan — in Helmand, Uruzgan and Kandahar provinces...,
Afghanistan in 2007 saw a record level of violence that killed more than 6,500 people, including 110 US troops — the highest ever in Afghanistan — and almost 4,500 militants, according to an Associated Press count.
The AP count is based on figures from Western and Afghan officials and is not definitive. Afghan officials are known to exaggerate Taliban deaths, for instance, and NATO's International Security Assistance Force does not release numbers of militants it killed, meaning AP's estimate of 4,478 militants deaths could be low."
