OTTAWA, April 11 (Xinhua)-- Two Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday, only three days after a roadside bomb claimed six soldiers' lives in the troubled country, Canadian media reported. The Canadian military in Afghanistan has confirmed the news, saying three more soldiers were injured in two separate incidents that happened in the same general area, a report by Canadian Television (CTV) said.

Many they R.I.P.

How many more will have to die before the thinkers decide to sit down and come up with alternative methods that might change what is happening, and maybe we can win this or at least bring true peace and security to the country.

2 more soldiers dead.

OMG... 8 in less then a week.

What a tragedy, dear god watch over these families.

I am shook by this but I still stand by our mission in Afghanistan.

We honor their sacrifices, and must realize these soldiers, if alive, would not want the worthy mission in this country to be stopped b/c of their deaths.

We pray, we honor them, and we commit to our mission in Afghanistan in their memory.

I can support our soldiers but I loathe that deadbeat country. I can't see us winning this one, however winning is defined. It's a whole different ball game in Afghanistan and it's scurrilous to suggest we can somehow export our mores and political standards there. We will finally leave and once Iraq is left to disintegrate our departure from this tortured, primitive land will be all the faster. I'm sure donut eaters in Ottawa are already assigned the scripts needed to cover everyone's ass.

How long will it take for people in charge to realise that the enemy is Pakistan. The Taliban couldn't function without massive help from outside Afghanistan.

I agree #juan, but Afghanistan is still a problem.

But with the hatred over the Iraq war, people don't want Pakistan added to the list.
