The Longest War: Another Police Attack Kills 2 U.S. Troops...

[paulitician]

Boy, this is happening every week over there. What a mess.


A newly recruited Afghan village policeman opened fire on his American allies on Friday, killing two U.S. service members minutes after they handed him his official weapon in an inauguration ceremony. It was the latest in a disturbing string of attacks by Afghan security forces on the international troops training them.

Later Friday, an Afghan soldier turned his gun on foreign troops in another part of the country and wounded two of them, a spokesman for the NATO coalition said.

The attacks in the country's far west and south brought to seven the number of times that a member of the Afghan security forces - or someone wearing their uniform - has opened fire on international forces in the past two weeks.

Such assaults by allies, virtually unheard of just a few years ago, have recently escalated, killing at least 36 foreign troops so far this year. They also raise questions about the strategy to train Afghan national police and soldiers to take over security and fight insurgents after most foreign troops leave the country by the end of 2014.

The NATO-led coalition has said such attacks are anomalies stemming from personal disputes, but the supreme leader of the Taliban boasted on Thursday night that the insurgents are infiltrating the quickly expanding Afghan forces.

Friday's deadly attacker in the far western province of Farah was identified as Mohammad Ismail, a man in his 30s who had joined the Afghan Local Police just five days ago.

He opened fire during an inauguration ceremony attended by American and Afghan forces in the Kinisk village, the Farah provincial police chief Agha Noor Kemtoz said...

Makes you wonder what could have happened, if we took care of this mess BEFORE taking on Iraq.

This seems to actually be a daily occurance now.

Yeah, the Longest War is over. I don't want our Kids over there just to fight a Drug War. And they've already worked out the deals with the Taliban anyway. They're gonna hand over half the country to them. So why should one more American kid die there? Their Government already sold them out. It's so pointless now. Not one more parent needs to get that letter telling them their son or daughter has been killed over there. It's time to come home.

The saddest thing about this is that the Afghans that are shooting at our men and women were paid and trained with US Tax dollars, god what a joke we are.

It's the ultimate humiliation & tragedy. They're already getting set to hand half the country over to the Taliban anyway. So why should one more parent get that letter telling them their son or daughter died over there? Shame on our Government.

And with weapons we paid for.

We need to a strong offense though. No military cuts, more adventurism. Lets give this whole thing a whirl in Iran next.

Dumbfuck, Afghanistan has always been a worse place than Iraq because the people there are idiots, disorganized, tribal, etc with no intention of ever being a civilized society.

But Obamination and you are too stupid to understand the truth.

Iraq came and went, while Obamination has just made things worse in Afghanistan.

Makes you wonder what could have happened, if we took care of this mess BEFORE taking on Iraq.

All that aside. The real issue there is Illiteracy. Few have any schooling at all. Add poor and you get a host of different reactions..........

 

[GoneBezerk]

I have always said, this training mission is a waste of lives and money.

Just keep spec ops and aircraft in Afghanistan to carry out kill missions and send all the trainers home.

Fuck the Afghans, we're just there to babysit them and not train them anymore.

This new strategy would help downsize the NATO force there and only keep those that want to be with us to kill the Taliban. A leaner, meaner NATO force is better than a bloated, disorganized NATO force repeating Groundhog Day.

Yes, fixing their schools, hospitals, etc is good but training their rag-tag goat herders into being a military and police force is a joke, especially when they have stolen billions of our equipment. Nevermind the number of our guys they have killed "inside the wire."

We are dopes, take off the gloves and quit being friends with these people. Just tell them we're there to babysit the country and to kill anyone that gets out of line, so they should go back to goat herding and their weird lives.

I want every single AMERICAN TROOP out of the Middle east! No sense in spilling one more drop of American blood in this hole.

If the public in the immediate post-WW-II era could have foreseen what's being done to the America they fought so hard to defend there would have been a revolution. It's sad to think about what historians of the future will say about the American experiment and how the efforts of war profiteers reached the level at which American troops were committed to training and arming people who have cause to despise them and to routinely kill them.

There is astonishing irony in the fact that there was every reason to expect exactly this kind of conduct from the Afghans. We have invaded the nation of a people whose religion demands they destroy infidels and we train them to use weapons and we arm them and position them to kill the invading infidels -- American soldiers and Marines.

Have the politician/puppets and the high-level uniformed puppets offered any explanations for the sacrificial slaughter of our troops. Vietnam wasn't enough? Now this?

Yes, the MIC and Global Elites must have their Wars. It's just what they do. So stay tuned, there's much more to come.
