Bird colonel or lieutenant colonel? it makes a difference when attempting to identify the bastard.
What I think is interesting about this is how people are told by the Daily Mail to be outraged about the current thing and everybody is pretty much, “well, I’m outraged!”. There is no information why the decision was made, nobody knows what else was going on or any details except what is provided by this one group of people and the Daily Mail. Is all this information accurate? Maybe. Maybe not. How much do you trust the Daily Mail to tell the whole truth on other issues?
My observation vis-a-vis situations like this is similar to securities trading: there are 2 sides to every trade, a buyer and a seller. If the US was giving up $3+billion of assets and personnel (both US and indigenous) who was on the other side of this trade?

With everything that is known about the afghan f-up, what do you think?
Who else is reporting on ANY OF THIS? We gotta read about this in a foreign rag.

My comment was only directed at you were the poster. I don’t criticize anybody for posting a news story. The point of my comment is how reactions to a story can so often be predicted by the tone of the story with an apparent lack of critical thinking. As for the content of the story, I don’t care if a bunch of Afghanis, with or without U.S. passports, could not get into the U.S. They’re Afghanis, in Afghanistan. Too bad.
