With Friends Like This...Who Needs Enemies?

This is so sad.  Another 4 U.S. soldiers are killed by the Afghans that we have been training.

KABUL -- Four U.S. troops were killed Sunday at a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan when a member of the Afghan security forces opened fire on them, military officials said. The attack brought to 51 the number of international troops shot dead by their Afghan partners this year, including Marine Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley Jr. of Oceanside.
 
The insider attack came on the day that NATO warplanes killed nine women in an eastern province, according to local officials, adding to long-festering outrage here over civilian casualties and prompting new protests. Afghan president Hamid Karzai condemned the killings. The U.S.-led international coalition said the precision strikes killed "a large number of insurgents" but also acknowledged that that up to eight civilians had been hit and said it regretted any civilian deaths.

The attacks drew unusually strong criticism yesterday from the U.S. military's top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who called the problem of rogue Afghan soldiers and police turning their guns on allied troops "a very serious threat" to the war effort.

Probably another good reason why Afghanistan is called the "graveyard of nations."

This is a spiritual battle and Afghanistan is a serious Satanic stronghold.  Of course we will never 'win' this war because a democracy can not be made in a nation full of people who can't read or write and believe that the only book they need is the Satanically inspired Koran...where most can't even read it.

I think it's probably time to bring everyone home and ramp up the drone war where we can disrupt the Taliban with Stinger missiles fired from remote controls operated by U.S. soldiers pulling the trigger from 8000 miles away.
