Boots are on the ground in Iraq

The NY Times has a fairly lengthy article about the attack on the hospital in Kunduz that was bombed. It seems that the bombing was intended to be of a government building that was thought to be a command center for the Taliban. Well, it was the hospital. The bombing itself was part of a battle against the Taliban, a battle led and fought by our troops. Our troops were not ambushed while advising local forces behind the front lines or struck by rocket fire while manning a fortified base, as the government would have us believe. Our troops were at the leading edge of an offensive to retake Kunduz, where Afghan forces had melted away as insurgents attacked, leaving an entire city in the Taliban’s grip for the first time since 2001.
