Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama makes no mention of the September 16 Afghan attack that killed two Marines and destroyed 6 Harrier Jets worth more than 200 million dollars . . . . . no mention whatsoever.

Thanks to Dinah Lord's blog for this picture.

Militants armed with rockets have attacked the main Allied military base in Afghanistan, leaving at least two people dead and a number of others hurt.

The perimeter of Camp Bastion was breached as it was hit by small arms fire and there was major damage to buildings, an aircraft hangar and several military jets.

The two soldiers killed are thought to have been US Marines.

This facility is often subject to indirect fire, but officials in Afghanistan say the damage that has resulted is far more severe than normal. The attack was launched in the US area of the base.

Six of these Harrier jets were completely
destroyed and two others damaged - a
loss of more than $200 million dollars; the
most costly attack of the Afghan war.

Army Major Martyn Crighton, a spokesman at ISAF's Joint Command, says the attack may still be ongoing.

Officials in Afghanistan said it was too early to know if the attack was motivated by the anti-Muslim YouTube film which has sparked violent protests in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Prince Harry is currently stationed at Camp Bastion on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan - expected to last four months. [It appears that Prince Harry was the target of this attack - editor]

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
