Afghan sniper who helped British Army ‘hunted down and executed by Taliban’
The New York Post ^ | 09/14/2021 | Lee Brown

An Afghan sniper who worked alongside British special forces in the war-torn country was hunted down by the Taliban on Monday and executed in front of his family, according to a former UK army colonel.

The victim, a father of five only identified as “N” to protect his surviving kin, reportedly was murdered after being one of the hundreds of Western allies left behind during a disastrous evacuation effort.

“He [had] been in hiding because of the threat he faced,” British former Col. Ash Alexander-Cooper, who was once a senior adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs, told the Times of London.

“But they found him, and he was shot multiple times, executed in front of his family,” said Alexander-Cooper, who served eight tours in Afghanistan, including at least one alongside “N.”

The murdered sniper had been in a “very effective” elite Afghan squad — known as CF333 — that was “mentored by the British,” the former army officer said.

Psaki: Word is the fellow wanted to stay. Lots of people over there want to stay. Entertainment districts, parks, opportunities for small business development. Just didn’t work out that well for this guy.

Joseph Stealin may as well have pulled the trigger himself.

No Ally will be able to trust the USA again. Even if we get a decent Prez the next one might be a RAT. Better to cut the US dead since the RATs won’t honor any commitments.

RATs are treacherous and faithless. They are a legal Mafia.

Great allies we are..leave behind guys like this and even our beloved dogs to the tender mercy of barbarians. How hard would it have been to have saved them, really?

I've figured out the flaw with the Constitution. Basically we have an imperial Presidency. Our checks and balances are not strong enough. Maybe in the Senate, we should change it to that if you get 55 votes, you get removed from the Presidency. Right now it's 67.

Biden (or his string pullers) may not have had any choice.

What if Radical Islam and/or its friends have something on the USA, something that can be unleashed at any time, a very very bad weapon or weapons.

Too much strangeness from all corners foreign and domestic has taken place. Leaving all those weapons behind in Afghanistan could have been part of a very large ransom currently being paid by the USA.

The public kowtowing to Radical Islam from almost all corners seems off too. Why are we groveling before terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11? Why did we release terror leaders from Gitmo who have already taken positions of high power in Afghanistan?

It all looks like a giant payoff.
