Obamacare, fast and furious style.

Not about your health, but about doctors complying with IRS intrusiveness.

More sophisticated drivers’ licenses and voter IDs. That’s the answer. Microchip everyone, and track their movements. [The real answer is to refuse to vote or give any respect to contemporary politics, and stop unnecessary personal spending.]

Agree bitterly and whole-heartedly.

You push us, we punch you.

You hurt us, we devastate you.

You attack us on the scale of 9/11, we rain the coals of hell down upon you.

No meetings, no exceptions, no nation-building.

That’s the only foreign policy they will understand. Only one that makes sense to me too.

VA death panel?

Workplace related violence?

When will Obama make a televised speech on this matter?

One American Doctor is worth about 500,000 degenerate Afghan savages, and this act merits a reprisal in excess of one million subhumans terminated.

Muzzies living on borrowed time.

Cure International is a Christian Organization.

http://cure.org/


“Here is the full text of the Christian-based charity’s statement from Brantner:

It is with deep sadness that I write today, mourning the loss of three lives that were taken by force at the CURE International Hospital compound in Kabul, Afghanistan.

One of these men, Dr. Jerry Umanos, had faithfully served the Afghan people as a pediatrician at the hospital for more than seven years, caring for the most vulnerable members of society — children and premature infants — and helping them survive the harsh realities of childbirth in Afghanistan. We may never know the number of future doctors, teachers, or law enforcement officers who were given the chance to live full and healthy lives because of the work of the CURE International Hospital staff and the service and sacrifice of Jerry and his family.

I knew Jerry personally and can testify to the excellence with which he served and trained Afghan doctors and nurses in the highest quality medical practices. My heart is deeply grieved for his wife and family, as well as the families of the other men killed, who were not employees of CURE International but guests of our hospital. One other guest also sustained a non-life threatening injury.

The shooter was not an employee of CURE International, but rather a member of the Afghan police detail assigned to protect the hospital. The assailant shot himself after the attack and was taken into surgery by Jerry’s colleagues at the hospital before being transferred out of our facility into the custody of the government of Afghanistan. We don’t yet know the motivation of the assailant and are still working very closely with the Afghan authorities to learn all the details surrounding this tragic incident.

I want to emphasize that CURE International remains committed to loving and serving the people of Afghanistan. We are also deeply committed to protecting the health and welfare of our patients and staff. This is the first fatal incident at our facilities in Afghanistan since coming to the country in 2002, and today’s tragedy reinforces our need for vigilance.

Since 1996, CURE International has been serving children and families in desperate need of surgical care with the highest quality medical techniques, restoring bodies that were broken and bearing witness to the transformation of lives and families throughout the world. We do this not because it is what Jesus would do, but because it is what He did; and so we cannot help but see these needs, know that there is a cure, and meet hurting people where they are. That is what Jerry did and that is what we are called to do for children and families around the world.

Please pray with the 1,600 CURE employees worldwide that God would comfort the families of these victims as well as all those affected by this tragedy and give them a peace that truly defies human understanding.

Walking in love,

Dale Brantner

President & CEO

CURE International”

Sad, sad, beyond words. Prayers for those affected, families and friends of the deceased.

Sad thing is, these people were providing incredible services for the people of the region. What was to be gained by this, dead Afghanis? The brain dead thought process that leads up to these things should shame every Islamic adherent. Instead it just happens undenounced by 99.99999999% of the idiots in the region. And when they need medical services, they’ll whine because no one is there to treat them.

It may not be strategic, but if you’ll notice the region of Pakistan has been somewhat bettered during this process.

If Afghanistan is allowed to sink back into the muck, it will spill over into Pakistan, which is brittle enough on it’s own.

The Taliban will gain in strength, and within five years we’ll be back to nuclear showdowns between Pakistan and India.

If that sort of calamity were to take place, who knows how it could spill over into other nations.

I think we sometimes lose sight of the positive things we do at times. I know the region is problematic at best, and just deeply troubling at worst.

We have kept the Taliban occupied. What comes next after we leave isn’t going to be something we’re going to be happy with either.

US casualties in Afghanistan have radically increased under the Obama regime. Americans are totally unaware of this continuous wasteful tragedy

...or where people are neanderthal savages who murder those who are trying to cure their children.

Every last American should leave that hellhole pronto, and we should not send those muzzie animals one more cent of Americans’ tax dollars.

KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan university official on Saturday identified two Americans killed in a shooting at a Kabul hospital earlier this week.

The vice chancellor of Kabul University, Mohammad Hadi Hadayati, named the two as health clinic administrator Jon Gabel and his visiting father, Gary.

Hadayati said that Jon Gabel’s wife was wounded in the attack Thursday in which an Afghan police security guard open fire as the family entered the grounds of Cure International Hospital. The Gabel family was visiting pediatrician Dr. Jerry Umanos of Chicago, who was also killed in the shooting.

Cure International is based in Lemoyne, Pa.

Hadayati said Jon Gabel ran a clinic at the university providing low-cost medicine and also volunteered to teach computer classes.
