It is another deadly day in Afghanistan today, with NATO losing eight people, including five soldiers who were killed in attacks and three civilian contractors hired as part of the ongoing training mission.
The three trainers were Americans killed by a man in an Afghan police uniform at a training center near Herat airport, the latest in a long line of “green-on-blue” attacks by Afghan security forces against members of the foreign occupation.
Officials are always reluctant to confirm the identity of an attacker after such an attack, saying only that they were in a “uniform,” but by and large such attacks have been carried out by actual police and Afghan army forces, usually the result of an argument or other incident with the NATO forces.
The five NATO soldiers were killed in three roadside bombings. NATO has not provided any details about the three incidents, except that they placed two in the “east” and one in southern Afghanistan, which in NATO reports usually means either Helmand or Kandahar.
No. These incidents are not usually a result of an argument with members of NATO or ISAF. Often times, these attacks come out of nowhere.
If you are going to post something, pls have some facts to put behind it.
I spent 3 years in Herat and have been to that RTC several times. You have no idea what you are talking about.
In the city I live in murders happen often but that does not make me knowledgable about them, reporters usually have a lot more information
I wonder if the Afghans invaded the US and after killing, raping and bombing the country …… contaminating their environment with depleted uranium…….. and the U.S. occupation authority began recruiting for the ranks of police and army…….. Suppose some American Patriots were able to slip past the vetting process and killed some of the Afghans doing occupation……….. Would the Afghan news reports say ………… "these attacks come out of nowhere" ???? I doubt it…
Elephant in the room….??? What elephant…??? It's the occupation……… !!!!!
"
These attacks mostly come from the same place as the loon who blew people away dressed as The Joker at a Batman premiere.
You have no idea what you are talking about. That much is evident. Get over yourself.
I can almost guarantee that the guy who did this was having a bad, hasty opium withdrawal and that THAT was what led to this. In essence, it came from nowhere. It didn't come from his hatred of an occupation or his love of freedom and liberty or his love for Islam or hatred of the corrupted Westerner. It came from a big hole in his mind that wasn't being filled by opium. Hence, it came from nowhere.
You are clueless.
Occupation, my ass. lol That's laughable. When the people are clamoring for you to stay so that the Taliban won't come back and start buggering their baby boys again, that's not an occupation.
Get out of your grandma's basement and see something of the world before you go off on these moronic rants.
There have been so many U.S. casualty reports streaming from DoD press releases and icasualty reports in July, 2012 that it has been difficult recently to keep accurate totals of U.S. dead. And the only Afghan news in the corporate press, "US troop withdrawal 50% complete". With U.S. troop numbers declining dozens of U.S. soldiers continue to die needlessly each month in the Afghan war..
Hillary will tell the Egyptian military to order its puppets on the high court to declare this unconstitutional — right after they announce that chanting "Monica" isn't free speech.
When Obama started this hole Afghanistan War, I remember saying to a buddy – ´obama moved US forces from Iraq to afghanistan, in Iraq the average daily casualties is(was at that point) at 4 KIA/day, today in Afghanistan it is ( was) about 1 KIA/day. ´
After a while I remeber saying to the same buddy – ´US KIA in Afghanistan is (was) at the same rate as it was in Iraq (4 KIA/day)
Again after a while (now days), these number are growing, today is pretty common to hear something like 8 US soldiers slain in an ambush.
Seems one of the three contractors was a Brit.
Afghan cops know who the bad guys are
B+SURE to read what William S Lind has to say about these "“green on blue” attacks………………….
It's here: http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/u…
You may want to checout his most recent interview with Scot……… "[All this election stuff is just kabuki for the rubes in fly over land. There is one party and it's the establishment party. [It] Doesn't matter which party wins the election. What you're going to get is more of the same because they're both part of the same crew. Because if you are a member of the establishment and you propose anything more than five degrees rudder change from current policy, you instantly cease to be a member of the establishment.
Regardless of who's in, regardless of what power, what party, all the rest of it. You are going to get more of the same, because thats all the establishment is capable of doing. They insulate themselves from, reality by making sure that no one is ever heard who has a contrary opinion"]
