"Police officer kills two US soldiers
KABUL - An Afghan police officer on patrol with US soldiers opened fire on the Americans, killing two of them before fleeing, officials said yesterday, raising questions about discipline in the ranks of the Afghan forces and infiltration by insurgents.
Translation: WE NEED MORE TROOPS
Can't trust those Afghans.
Training and operating jointly with Afghan police and soldiers is key to the US strategy of dealing with the spreading Taliban-led insurgency and, ultimately, allowing international forces to leave Afghanistan.
Except AmeriKan forces never intend to leave, despite what my newspaper says. I've heard these lies for 6+ years on Iraq, so I grain of salt this type of talk now.
But Afghan forces have periodically turned their guns on international soldiers (AP)."

Seems to be a PATTERN down at the BG, doesn't it?
KABUL – An Afghan policeman on patrol with U.S. soldiers opened fire on the Americans, killing two of them before fleeing, officials said Saturday, raising questions about discipline in the ranks of the Afghan forces and possible infiltration by insurgents.

So WHAT DID the GLOBE DECIDE to WHACK?
The U.S. military said two American troops were killed by "an individual wearing an ANP (Afghan National Police) uniform" in Wardak province on Friday. Shahidullah Shahid, a spokesman for the Wardak provincial governor, said the policeman fired on the Americans while they were patrolling together Friday night, killing two and injuring two.
Halim Fidai, governor of Wardak, said two people who recommended the alleged assailant for his job were in custody for questioning. Fidai also said a joint team of American and Afghan officials was investigating the attack, interviewing both the American soldiers and the Afghans who had been on the patrol to learn what happened and how the gunman escaped.
How?
"However tragic, this event will not hamper the close partnership and combined security efforts" of Afghan police and international forces, said Zemarai Bashary, spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, said as part of the U.S. statement on the deaths. A third U.S. service member died Friday of wounds from a bomb attack in Wardak, the province neighboring Kabul, the day before....

In violence Saturday, a remote-controlled bomb on a motorbike exploded in a busy market in northern Kunduz province, killing three Afghans in a region that has recently seen a spike in attacks.
Now, when I READ THAT and see the CENSORSHIP by the War Daily, I INSTANTLY THINK COVER-UP of a FALSE-FLAG!
That's how they do it, folks! If you think I'm trusting the BG or AmeriKan War Press anymore, sorry, nanh!
YOU NEED to EARN TRUST and THEY HAVE LOST IT with their LIES and once you LOSE TRUST you NEVER GET IT BACK because THERE ARE ALWAYS DOUBTS -- thus the condition of AmeriKa's newspapers today.
Elsewhere in the north, a Finnish convoy hit a roadside bomb in Balkh province, destroying one of the vehicles and injuring four soldiers, Afghan and Finnish officials said. In western Afghanistan, a Taliban attack on a NATO supply convoy killed a civilian contractor escorting the trucks, said Raouf Ahmadi, a regional police spokesman....
Working for who? KBR, Blackwater, who?
Hello, MSM?
And DON'T YOU WORRY about those SUPPLY LINES in this OBFUSCATED DISASTER, 'murka.
We're winning like we always do, so go back to sleep, AmeriKa!!!!!!!!!
And EVEN the LOCAL LOPPED this off:
U.S. forces mounted major operations in July and August in southern Afghanistan....
One of those operations, in Helmand province, has proven to be a relative bright spot....
As opposed to relative calm?
Lt. Aiden Katz, a Marine platoon commander in Helmand, said his forces came under Taliban fire on Friday while on foot patrol in the countryside. After a 30-minute firefight with Taliban militants hiding in trees and behind walled-off fields, the Americans called in air support and the gunmen disappeared after Marine Harrier jets strafed the area....
And HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE were KILLED in THAT OMITTED RUN of MASS MURDER?!!!!!!
--more--"
Yeah, here I am all angry upon a Sunday because of what I found -- or DIDN'T FIND -- in my Sunday paper.
