"Another roadside bomb attack in southern Afghanistan killed two more Canadian soldiers Saturday, along with an Afghan police officer and a local interpreter.
Warrant Officer Gaetan Roberge and Sgt. Gregory John Kruse were killed during a security patrol in the Panjway district, in the western part of Kandahar province.
The explosion wounded three other Canadian soldiers and another Afghan interpreter.
*
Roberge was a member of the Royal 22nd Regiment who was serving with the Irish Regiment of Canada in Sudbury, Ont. He was part of the Canadian team mentoring Afghanistan's fledgling national police force.
Kruse was from 24 Field Squadron, 2 Combat Engineer Regiment based in Petawawa, Ont. He was serving as a member of 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment battle group."
*
The latest deaths bring to 106 the number of Canadian soldiers killed in the Afghan mission since 2001.

Again, with tears, I say Rest In Peace our brave heroes.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh my!!!!!!!

I think it's time to do something!!!

I'm getting tired of our sons and daughters being slain and maimed.

I will, as always, pray but what's going on is a travesty.

Ah Bear, there are too many of these around what should be a festive season. I feel so much for their families. Their trial is over but those left behind have a dreadful legacy to deal with.

Pres. Bush didn't learn from his father,Let the generals run the war. Also he goofed,his dad got us in and out. He knew what our limintations were.
We live in a miltary town. Too may soldiers been in Iraq have said they aren't give the supplies they nedd to fight this war. They want to get in and do the job.
