Indeed even as the French paratroopers were being cut down by Taliban snipers in a valley east of Kabul Monday, two separate suicide bombing attacks struck US bases elsewhere in Afghanistan. The growing frequency and audacity of Taliban offensives are producing a spiraling death count among international forces - 183 of whom have been killed thus far this year, compared to 232 fatalities for all of 2007.
