The uptick in attacks by Afghan security forces against
coalition troops has hit home, with all troops at NATO headquarters and all
bases across Afghanistan now ordered to carry loaded weapons around the clock,
CNN learned Friday.
Gen. John Allen, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, ordered
the move, according to a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the orders. The
order, made in recent days, was divulged amid two more so-called green-on-blue
or insider attacks Friday.
An Afghan police officer opened fire on U.S. troops in Farah
province in southwestern Afghanistan, killing two service members, the NATO-led
command said. Two International Security Assistance Force troops and an Afghan
service member were wounded by another Afghan service member in Kandahar
province, in the south. (Sourced at CNN, here)
Ten American soldiers have died in these attacks and, as it turns out, their weapons were not l0aded. In other words, our soldiers have been ordered to walk around certain combat areas without being armed and ready.
Which idiot commander came up with this decision? Could it have been the Commander In
Chief, himself?
Maybe this explains why the military disapproves of Obama by
a margin of 59 to 35 percent margin. You think
??!!
Some will argue that this situation only applied to "green zones" and I am saying this, a "green zone" in Afghanistan is always a combat zone.
We need to get our troops out of Afghanistan before the current American leadership gets more of our soldier killed.

Yusuf Ali: And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.

Muhammad Sarwar: Fight them so that idolatry will not exist any more and God's religion will stand supreme. If theygive up the idols), God will be Well Aware of what they do.
Mohsin Khan: And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
