This year has been the deadliest in the war for U.S. forces. At least 480 American troops have been killed, compared to 317 last year and 155 in 2008.Unlike the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] U.S. role in Iraq, a war that Obama opposed and is drawing to a close, the Afghan conflict has become a defining part of his presidency.
