German special forces had an important Taliban commander in their sights in Afghanistan. But he escaped -- because the Germans were not authorized to use lethal force. The German government's hands-tied approach to the war is causing friction with its NATO allies.
The wheat is lush and green in the fields of northern Afghanistan this spring. A river winding its way through the broad valley dotted with walled houses completes the picturesque scene. Behind one of these walls, not far from the town of Pol-e-Khomri, sits a man whose enemies, having named him a "target," would like to see dead. He is the Baghlan bomber.
The Taliban commander is regarded as a brutal extremist with excellent connections to terror cells across the border in Pakistan. Security officials consider him to be one of the most dangerous players in the region, which is under German command as part of NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan. The military accuses him of laying roadside bombs and of sheltering suicide attackers prior to their bloody missions.

Then get out.
Dumb freakin Germans, get the hell outa the way so we can win this war.
They are road lizards.
That’s just sad.
From the article:
“The Krauts are allowing the most dangerous people to get away and are in the process increasing the danger for the Afghans and for all foreign forces here,” says an incredulous British officer at ISAF headquarters on Great Massoud Road in Kabul.”
Germany loves Muzzies.

Islamism, fascism and terrorism (Part 1)
By Marc Erikson

excerpt
he Nazi (”national socialist”) movement was formed in reaction to the World War I destruction of the “Second Reich”, the “unequal and treasonous” Versailles Treaty and the mass social dislocation that followed, its racialist, corporatist ideology laid out in Hitler’s Mein Kampf (My Struggle). The Muslim Brotherhood (Al Ikhwan Al Muslimun), parent organization of numerous Islamist terrorist outfits, was formed in 1928 in reaction to the 1924 abolition of the caliphate by Turkish reformer Kemal Ataturk, drawing the consequences of the World War I demise of the Ottoman Empire. Ikhwan founder Hassan al-Banna, an Egyptian school teacher, wrote at the time that it was endless contemplation of “the sickness that has reduced the ummah (Muslim community) to its present state” which prompted him and five like-minded followers - all of them in their early twenties - to set up the organization to rectify it.
Hitler’s early 1933 accession to power in Germany was widely cheered by Arabs of all different political persuasions. When the “Third Reich” spook and horrors were over 12 years later, a favorite excuse among those who felt the need for one was that the Nazis had been allies against the colonial oppressors and “Zionist intruders”. Many felt no need for an excuse at all and simply bemoaned the fact that the Nazis’ “final solution” to the “Jewish problem” had not proved final enough. But affinities with fascism on the part of the Muslim Brotherhood and other segments of Arab and Muslim society went much deeper than collaboration with the enemy of one’s enemies, and collaboration itself took some extreme forms.
The Germans updated the playbook for the Muzzies.
Germany needs to get over the Second World War....
We'll "PICK" him up.
Piece by piece.

Since when have Germans been afraid to “use lethal force.”
Seems I recall a time when that was the German national sport.
How do you say “What the F**K?” in German?
I had a roommate in college that named our cat, Scheisskopf ... ROTFL...
and was it aptly named??? 8^)
So much for a military tradition of Aufstragstatik. Rommel must be spinning in his grave.

Die Mörderkatze amused ist nicht.
;-)
LOL!
Oh-oh... I didn’t know Mörderkatze speaks German... I gotta go now...
I didn’t realize they knew who the Baghlan bomber is. I had guessed he was Taliban early on. Too bad he got away.
