This should surprise no one, although it cannot be explained by the conventional and dominant analysis. In that view, the hearts and minds of Afghan soldiers would be won, and they would not turn on their allies. No one in Washington is examining the jihad doctrine that would actually make this incident immediately understandable. "Afghanistan: Two Italian soldiers shot," from ANSA, December 29 (thanks to Insubria):
Rome, December 29 - Two Italian soldiers were slightly injured in Afghanistan Tuesday when an Afghan soldier taking part in an allied operation opened fire, killing one American soldier, the defense ministry reported here.The incident was said to have taken place in Bala Morghab, in the western province of Herat, while members of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), together with Afghan army regulars, were unloading a supply helicopter.
The injured Italians were treated for their wounds by medics on hand and returned to duty, the defense ministry said. The Afghan soldier who shot the Italians and killed the American, and was himself injured when ISAF force returned fire, was arrested, according to reports from Afghanistan....
The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
the liberal elites will be worried about the care of this afgan soldier now. the cdn msm were upset when Cdn military handed over captured taliban to the afgan government. a word to Nato troops, shoot to kill.
It's hard to tell the players without a score card...In this case the score card is the Quran and the examples of Mahound...

Why wasn't that so-called Afghan soldier finished off with a shot to the head? Oh I know - they want to read him his Miranda rights and give him a platform to pour out anti-Western and pro-Jihad propaganda in a civilian court. What an effeminate bunch of pussies we have become since 1945. If Churchill could come back to life 45 years after his death, heaven knows what he would have to say.
So when is this poor, down trodden, misunderstood deprived young muslim afghan (soldier) going to emigrate to the UnitedDhimmi States Of AmRika and be enrolled into Columbia University to "enhance" the student body and become "more engaging and inclusive"?
I wonder if the Dean has mailed out "special consideration admission packet" yet?
Because now that he is apprehended they can take him to a post-Gitmo "art therapy rehabilitation program" so he can become a good boy and learn his Koran by heart... Then he can go back to his jihad to fight the infidels some more, maybe even take down a jetliner full of people... Yep, a "shot to the head" makes more sense, quicker.
All this guy needs is a Miranda warning, a court-appointed attorney, a fair trial before his peers, some probation with art therapy, and he should be good to go.
Karl2,
How dare you deprive this "afghan man" special halal meals, a government paid "qualified" imam for regular visits, a private room for salat (prayers) five times a day and regular visits to a mosque with tall minarets as required by our constitution. However minor these additional requests are, they are nonetheless important for our image as a obedient dhimmi state in the world of Allah, so take care next time not to trample a muslim man's Amerikan rights....please.
Before we all jump on the Taqqiya train and "he was simply being a good Muslim" and "All muslim are commanded to do this and we need to take the appropriate measures" and "The Afghans are ungrateful like all Muslims and they want to rape and kill us" etc.. lets wait to see if it was a planned attack or friendly fire.

You've forgotten the footbaths. How could you? ;)
The Reuters story by Sharafuddin Sharafyar deletes "ISAF forces" and instead says "foreign forces"
"The soldier opened fire on the two Italians and one American in a joint Afghan and foreign base," ....A spokesman for NATO-led forces said "Foreign and Afghan forces were investigating the incident"
Sharafuddin also reports the Afghan soldier had 'mental health problems' and there are probably no ties to the Taliban.

Afghanistan:
Two Italian soldiers shot
"Afghan army regular opens fire on ISAF troops,
US soldier killed"
"Two Italian soldiers were slightly injured..."
Italian Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa was immediately informed of the incident and issued a statement praising the Italian solders "who despite their injuries promptly returned to duty". Real heroes, they, lionized & celebrated...
The REAL Hero who selflessly paid the ultimate price for his beloved USA, will be quietly shipped home, then fade into media, military, & finally public obscurity (except by family, friends & those of us who really care)
Our present government has no dignity, pride in or honor of our great country: but plenty to be shamed about. This story & any follow-up will meet the fate of another story that outraged me that I almost had a stroke...

5 U.S. troops killed in Afghan violence:
Region continues to be mired in dispute over allegations of election fraud

Lt. Robert Carr, a U.S. military spokesman, confirmed an incidentbetween Afghan police officers and a U.S. police mentoring team. Hecould not provide information on the conditions of the two men.
It won't make any difference if we of the western alliance squander the lives of a thousand or a million of our precious young people on this fool's errand. At the end of the day we'll be withdrawing from a country of moslems, who are determined to wipe us from the face of the earth.
Islam is evil, and mohammed is the antichrist. It's as simple as that, and we ignore this stark reality at our peril.
