NATO says the attack on the coalition troops occurred at a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan. The Afghan officer escaped after the incident. Eight NATO troops have been killed in similar insider attacks over the past three days.

Here’s more from The Associated Press about the recent attacks:

“Recent months have seen a string of such insider attacks by Afghan forces against their international counterparts. The killings have imperiled the military partnership between Kabul and NATO, a working relationship that is key to the handover of security responsibilities to Afghan forces as international troops draw down.”

UNQUOTE

So the Obama administration’s feckless acts have caused how many American and NATO troops lives? No one in the LEFTWING press is keeping track like they did with Bush, but the number is well over 200.

Shameful, despicable, disgusting... And I’m not just talking about Obama, the dems and the media. Average Joes and Janes don’t seem to give a hoot either. They simply don’t care as long as American Idol and Dancing with the Stars is on. As one young student here at Auburn University said to me when I mentioned the turncoat Afghani Army Jihadi killers, “That’s all just politics.”

Sometimes I wonder if it’s the whole damn country that’s gone over to the Dark Side.

The death of our personnel in Afghanistan by Afghan military personnel, our supposed ally, is a disgrace. Political correctness is costing lives. And we have Karzai joining in chorous calling for the US to pull the video and put the filmmaker in jail. We are living in Alice in Wonderland.
