Here is this weeks update on Casualties in Afghanistan.  Another 8 soldiers lost their lives this week.  This is amidst the reported rejections of options presented to President Obama and the confidential leaked memo of Karl Eikenberry, Ambassador to Afghanistan, advising against a surge of troops as recommended by General McChrystal. 

President Obama announced the strategy on March 27th and his appointed Commander has presented his recommendation to implement it.  This was almost three months ago now.
