So is he going to be our new National Wire Service????
Don't know. This is all news to me....8D The Taliban, who have claimed responsibility for the attack, said 'a hero mujahid Abdul Rahman' killed four advisers over the burning of Korans at a US-run military base. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2106305/Afghanistan-2-US-troops-killed-Koran-burning-protests-continue.html#ixzz1nV4BbUAh The killer of a US Colonel and Major (and 'two more'?) has telephoned a progress report to the Taliban, who have already put this story on their 'wire'... I'd evac the Afghans right now. The entire Op has been compromised. As the Taliban take credit for shooting down a drone over Waziristan... which would be huge news (like the Taliban control Pakistan air space better than the Pakis themselves) except for the dead US Col and Major.
The killer is still at large last I heard. What a mess. US advisers are being evacuated from 'safe and secure' buildings. What a mess - oh, I repeat myself.
And here we go. That Sound you're hearing coming out of DC is the Eye on every neck of every 'chief' of every Intel Agency being violently pulled away from whatever they thought was pressing....;} "University of Wyoming political science professor Jim King said the potential for a complete unraveling of the U.S. government and economy is “astronomically remote” in the foreseeable future...." Which translated means the USSA has mere months now before going Non Linear.
Syria: The Battle of Homs was won and reported to President Bashar al-Assad that it was over on Thursday, 23 February, at 1900 hours. Watch as Syria fades from your Statetv screen now....;}
What more do you have on this battle?
Nothing now, except that Thierry's report is holding up, based on the Two/other reporters being moved to Beirut. Nic Robertson (MI6-CNN) stating that 3 'activists' lost their lives, getting the reporters out....;}
www.stripes.com/news/midd...ack-of-awareness-1.169946 "“This is not going back to business as usual,” an Army officer who works as an adviser in Kabul said Sunday. “The threat is still higher than normal.” Once advisers return to the ministries, the officer said, some will probably have to shorten their visits, instead of remaining there for six- to 10-hour shifts, to reduce risks." Why burn a book?
Remember that Idiot snake handler in Florida who burned a Koran? Evidently our famous CIA/SpecOps did not. " A particularly revealing incident was the killing of a US colonel and major by an Afghan official inside the Afghan Interior Ministry’s Command and Control Center—supposedly one of the most secure facilities in Kabul. The two US officers mocked the Koran and argued with an Afghan official, identified as Abdul Saboor, 25. Saboor then shot eight rounds at them, killing both. Saboor reportedly walked out of the heavily-guarded ministry without interference, which suggests that his actions evoked widespread sympathy. " The two US officers mocked the Koran and argued with an Afghan official, identified as Abdul Saboor, 25. Saboor then shot eight rounds at them, killing both......and jesus wept.
That version of events is hard for me to believe.
That version of events is hard for me to believe. It would be for me as well, except as I've posted above, the Two shots, one to each, to the back of the head was always harder to accept. And the fact that Saboor did not slink away but was admired as he walked thru the building....
And of course the reaction by ISAF/NATO/USSA to immediately bring in ALL Liaisons with Afghan personnel speaks volumes. The Washington Post quoted two Afghan policemen at a Kabul checkpoint. "Afghans and the world’s Muslims should rise against the foreigners. We have no patience left," one said, while his partner added, "We both will attack the foreign military people." Again. Why would you burn a book? [A]fter 2014, the Afghans will do the bulk of the fighting but will still have advisers from abroad in combat with them. U.S. forces are still expected to supply air support, artillery, medical evacuation and combat logistics after 2014 because the Afghan army will have none of these support services ready before 2016 at the earliest. The U.S. role will shift, but it is critically important to understand that, in the shift to a mission mainly devoted to advising and supporting — whatever the terms used — our forces will still be fighting on the ground, before, during and after 2014. We'll be out by Xmas. Which means Iran will not have it's Eastern flank exposed.
Depending on who’s doing the counting, the ANA consists of 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers, but only 1 percent of their units can operate without direct NATO assistance, according to Army Lt. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, an officer with the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), in a recent interview with Military.com. All we've done is create a ready made Army for the Taliban. Maybe we should start cooperating with the ISI now for some valuable info instead of trying to destroy it? And keeping the Pakistanis from taking Iranian gas....;} To ReCap: "Depending on who’s doing the counting, the ANA consists of 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers, but only 1 percent of their units can operate without direct NATO assistance, according to Army Lt.

Mujahideen clash with invaders Qari Yousuf Ahmadi E-mail Print PDF Sunday, 09 Jamadil Awal 1433 Sunday, 01 April 2012 13:27 HELMAND, Apr. 01 – Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate clashed with cowardly US invaders earlier today in Nahr Siraj region’s Yakhchal area, causing the enemy heavy casualties and losses. The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said on Monday that the deaths of coalition troops at the hand of Afghan soldiers had sapped spirits among its forces. "Although the incidents are small in number, we are aware of the gravity they have as an effect on morale," ISAF spokesman Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson said in Kabul. IMG[

Considering what we now know about the true strength of the Afghan National Army (ANA), the prospects for a clean cut appear slimmer everyday.
