The reorts are that these two blew by the gate and left the base. They stopped at the local market to buy some trinkets and were the Taliban ambushed them after they left town. If that is true they were friggin stupid and might as well have committed suicide.

Our rules of engagement have made the Taliban bold. I mean they know that if they are spotted by American troops all they have to do is gointo a village hide their weapons and walk around in plain sight.

Unlike most people I think this war can be won: 1. get the politicians out of the militaries way. 2. Give total control to the commanders on the grouns not to some chairborne officer sitting thousands of miles away. 3. Go into the mountains after the enemy and if fired upon flatten anything and anybody in the way. 4. Keep using drones to strike fer into the Taliban.

Just like Iraq when the civilian casualties get bad enough and the they will turn on the Taliban and Al Queda.
If Karzai don´t like it then pull the troops out and let him deal with the Taliban. Obne thing the generals and the state dept need to remember The Afghans have been through these invasions before, they are double dealing liars and cannot be trusued.

All I can think about right now is President Bush’s face whenever he spoke of one of our troops or sailors being captured or missing. You could see the pain on his face and sense the heaviness in his heart.

But from the Obamas? All I can sense from them is a flat line about our troops. They are more interested in swinging their wrecking ball at Independence Hall, traveling the world, lying about their past, throwing parties and signing the TelePrompTer’s (supposed) birthday card. Sick, sick communists.

The story I know is of the gate guard in Iraq. Everyday a man would come by and give him fresh baked bread. Everyday, and some tea as well.

Eventually, the man suggested that the soldier should come to his house for dinner, and to meet his daughter.

The soldier was never heard from again. That was all she wrote.

Arabs, Muslims, whatever we call them, are trained from 8 years old to be psychopathic killers. They will kill you, or me, or their mother, or their sons and daughters. They will flip out on your ass in a heartbeat into a murderous rage.

What is the common term? Did not know who he was f>>king with. We got to get serious in this thing. We kill them or they kill us. Those are the only two options.

Unlike the reporting when it was Bush’s war.

But we know how they work...the enemy over there and the enemy here.

“Unlike most people I think this war can be won”

There is nothing to “win” in a country full of 7th century savages. There are and always will be neanderthals. Your prescription means killing basically the entire population of most of Afghanistan. Not going to happen. You can’t separate out the Taliban guys when they are cut of the same fabric as the civilian goat herders. They are never going to “turn”.

The US govt after the coup is infested with CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas shills and possibly agents. Intel is flowing back to kill our soldiers.

Maybe their position was leaked by the recent disclosure of classified documents.

"The sailors were instructors at a counterinsurgency school for Afghan security forces, according to senior military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case. The school was headquartered in Kabul and had classrooms outside the capital......"

To those of you who proffered scenarios that disrespected these two individuals, GTH.

I’m perplexed. Why did these two go wondering off as the story implies.

Yep, and prerecorded. I guess he wasn’t allowed to have his TelePrompTer with him.

I have a good buddy in that sh&^ hole country, fighting in the marines. I thought Barry was gonna get us out of there!!! If they aren't going to blow the terrorists to Allah then let's get the F out!

I worry about my friend every day. I don't want him there if we are going to fight a half ass war. Where is General Patton when you need him? When the British were bogged down in Africa, Patton came through and drove the nazis right out of the continent!

Carpet bomb them, bunker bust them, oh wait... a scumocrat is commander in chief. I can't wait for November.

Throw the democrats and RINOS out!!!

Warcrimes and the media is silent. So are Amnesty International, Red Cross/Red Crescent, Code Pink, and Michael Moore.
