Afghans seem to be adopting Iraqi insurgent tactics. Is Afghanistan becoming the new Iraq?

Things in Iraq seem to be getting bad again:

Overall violence is well down on the levels of several years ago

Afghanistan is the old Iraq.

They have been at it longer than pretty much everybody.

Poor bastards. I wonder how many casualties aren't being reported now that Obllama is in office.

Not with IEDs. That is only about 2 years old for Afganistan.


Anyways. Every year the war gets worse there.

2008 ... 294 coalition fatalities
2007 ... 232 coalition fatalities
2006 ... 191 coalition fatalities
2005 ... 131 coalition fatalities
