US serviceman kills 16 Afghanis - US does not let Afghan police talk with him. March 16, 2012 11:51 pm bowser

That’s a little difficult to believe.  He was flown out of the country before being interviewed by Afghanistan.

Next, the Afghanis tell NATO to leave.  US says no.  That’s an occupation, not a liberation.

The result of years and years of casually treating Afghani civilian deaths, apologizing for one atrocity after another, Karzai has grown some.

So now the US is officially at war with all Afghans.  And liberation for them will be the US leaving.

Too bad.  And absolutely predictable.  When people with flip-flops, RPGs, and AK-47s can beat a military with all the stuff the US has, again, it’s time to question one’s military strategies.
