What a horrible affront to the memories of all those killed and maimed in the fight for freedom from these bacteria.

Afghanistan: Nato Security Handover Marked by Deadly Blast [VIDEO]

The official handover of responsibility for security in Afghanistan from Nato to local forces has been marked by a deadly blast. The explosion in the west of Kabul killed three people and injured 30.

Officials said a suicide bomber targeted Mohammed Mohaqiq, a prominent Hazara policymaker in the region and Afghanistan's second vice-president....

Scores of Nato and local officials had gathered to mark the official handover - a significant milestone 12 years after a Nato coalition went in to Afghanistan to expel the Taliban in the wake of the 9/11 attacks....

The Taliban insurgency has been intensifying after the militant group declared a spring offensive. According to UN figures, more than 3,000 civilians were killed between January and June this year, a sharp increase from the 2012 count.

11 years of wasted lives and treasure.

One of the tenets of Ingsoc is that you NEVER win a war. We haven’t since 1945.
