Taliban resurgence

Not much is making its way into the US news about the other two wars we are involved in. Now that Nato has taken over in Afghanistan, things seem to be really going well:

Three British soldiers have been killed during a Taliban attack on a British vehicle patrol in northern Helmand. The men, all members of the Household Cavalry, died yesterday morning when their Scimitar light tanks came under sustained fire from insurgents using rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and heavy machine guns. It was the deadliest attack to date on British forces in the south, and led to further concerns about the future of Nato's mission in the country.

…The deaths come a day after Nato took over command of operations in the south of Afghanistan, commanded by the British Lt-Gen David Richards, and underscored the hazardous nature of Nato's new mission.
