At some point our government will figure out that hiring locals in countries like that does not necessarily end in a good way.

Large explosions are being heard coming from the military side of Kabul international airport, which houses a NATO headquarters.

The explosions began at about 4:30am on Monday from the direction of the military headquarters.

The attackers took over a building which security forces then attempted to storm, police in Kabul said.

“An explosion ... occurred after which a group of suicide attackers entered a building in Qasaba road, west of Kabul airport, and started sporadic shooting,” Hashmat Stanikzai, Kabul’s police chief, said in a statement.

“Now the area is sealed off by the security forces and a stand-off between security forces and the attackers is ongoing.”

The US-led NATO coalition’s Joint Command headquarters at the airport runs the day-to-day operations of the nearly 12-year-old war against the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan.

The airport’s military side is also used for NATO transport and other aircraft.

The cause of the explosions was not immediately clear, but fighters in Afghanistan usually carry out attacks in the early morning.

Another reminder that Western values and Islam are not compatible. The world would be much safer if Western leaders would once again understand and accept this simple fact.

The Vietnam conflict was a multinational effort, but only ONE country never had an attack ever initiated from inside their wire: Korean forces.

They NEVER hired locals —EVAR.

This carp’s just gonna get worse as every two-bit Warlord in the country tries to build street cred by shooting at the Americans on the way out. “Look how the great Americans flee before my superior power! Kneel before Zod!”

Somewhere, someone must have released a video that Mohammedans don’t like. There couldn’t be any other explanation.
