Afghanistan: Jihadis in army uniforms murder two American troops

Feb 12, 2014 8:39 pm By Robert Spencer

US-troops-in-Kabul-001

The continuing presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, serving as a shooting gallery for hostile “allies,” laboring under impossible Rules of Engagement with no vision of what would constitute victory and no desire on the part of their commanders to attain it if they did have one, is nothing less than criminal. Barack Obama and the Army High Command should be tried for the deaths of every one of the soldiers killed in insider jihad attacks.

“Afghans in army uniform kill two American troops,” from Reuters, February 12:

KABUL — Two Afghan men in army uniforms turned their weapons on American forces in east Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing two U.S. troops, officials said.

An Afghan interior ministry official said the shooting took place in Kapisa province, just north of the capital Kabul.

The NATO-led coalition confirmed two foreign troops had been shot dead but did not identify their nationalities. A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both victims were Americans.

It was the first “insider” attack this year. There were ten such incidents last year, resulting in the deaths of 15 members of the ISAF international security forces, according to a Reuters tally.

The attacks led the NATO-led force to briefly suspend all joint activities, a cornerstone of its mission in Afghanistan.

    Although I find them to be very naive and uniformed about Islam and the real issues, the Vice documentary called “This is what winning looks like” paints a very realistic picture of the futility of dealing with those Afghan savages:

      I guess also that the futility of the United States of America in Afghanistan was evident early on: how did the then Command figure that America could do what the Russians couldn\’t given that the Russians were next door and the Russians had no such rules of engagement?

      P.S. Love your moniker.

        Why thank you. We are all sovereign men/women after all, born free and equal, and must never forget that.

    There’s an old saying ‘if you don’t kill a venomous snake & let it escape after first blow it will come back & bite you’.
    I wonder what kind of war we are fighting where we are not allowed to identify enemy or reason their ideology???
    I’ve spend some years of my life in military in that age & time we were told to finish the enemy and NOT appease them.

    Just leave already. Any effort in Afghanistan has proven to be 100% worthless and fruitless.We cannot help those who absolutely do not want to help themselves.

    The real battles are to be fought at home.

    Bring the troops home and focus the resources on ridding the west of Islamists and stealth Jihadists.

    Yeah , like that will happen anytime soon.

    Whaaa? imam obama’s peace partners killed some of our troops? Maybe imam obama’s crew can court martial our guys postmortem for daring to be in the way of the Afghans bullets! That way their families can be denied benefits and it will do wonders for our efforts to win the satanic minions trust!
    God I hate it when our boys are used for cannon fodder for these sub human minions of satan!

    The Taliban are satan’s own. I really do believe that.

      obama is just as guilty of pulling the trigger as the jihadist. Out boys are over their putting their lives on the line, and they have to get permission to shoot back! That’s crazy, cannon fodder is right and obama should be tried for murder.

      “The Taliban are satan’s own. I really do believe that.”

      Indeed, they are.
      If anyone has the slightest doubt (and a strong stomach) let him watch this video:

        Yes, they are Salah, only Satan can revel in such an atrocious act. And they walk among us.

    From the article – “Two Afghan men in army uniforms..”.

    Muslims in the Afghan army. It will be claimed they were “Taliban infiltrators”. But what if they weren’t? What if they were just common or garden Afghan Muslims – enlisted in the Afghan army – who one fine day decided to Go Jihad?

    Dear Americans, Canadians, and everyone else, including my fellow Australians: *never turn your backs* and *never drop your guard*, no matter which sort of Afghan Muslim you are with.

    Article that should be read by every single infidel soldier in Afghanistan, especially their commanding officers, and also by every person posting or lurking here who *knows* a soldier serving in Afghanistan (when next your soldier is home on furlough, give him / her this to read):

    Encountered here and elsewhere, a useful Q and A: “Q – How do you turn an Afghan into a Taliban? A: Turn your back on him”.

    • southeuropean says

      Feb 13, 2014 at 5:56 pm

      This was a good one.
      Joke aside,I disagree with all of you. The price for our security is high and it has been paid by the lives of the 3000 US soldiers,but if they were not there all of these years,the talibans would come here,killing thousands of civilians in terrorist action. Dont doubt in that.9/11 was a one day deal and it took as many lives as the Americans lost for 12 years on the battlefield.
      Anyway,it is good the the troops are going home this year. The politicians would now be bolder to judge the islamofascism.

      • somehistory says

        Feb 13, 2014 at 9:25 pm

        Excuse me for disagreeing with you, but the sacrifices of these young men and women have not made anyone safer anywhere on earth.
        The killing on 9/11 didn’t make any muslims safer in the countries from whence those flying the planes, and cutting throats in the sky, came. Flying the planes into the WTC and Pentagon and the ground in PA, didn’t stop muslims from killing each other in those lands, didn’t keep armies from other nations from marching in with weapons; and having armies in that Asian country where each soldier is despised for just *being* is not making any people anywhere safer. The soldiers being there will not ensure there will be no more attacks from muslims, whether flying planes in to buildings, or by other acts of terror, such as bombing marathons, cutting electricity, etc.

        Christ said there would be “anguish of nations, not knowing the way out,” and he, of course, was correct.

    This story must have slipped by the MSM. I’m sure they wil get around to it, maybe when the bodies are returned to the U.S..
