AFGHAN TROOPS or police turning on NATO forces. It’s becoming a dangerous epidemic, happening 31 times in 2012, leaving 23 American soldiers dead, among 39 coalition fatalities in total.
Two U.S. troops were killed in the western Afghan province of Farah when an Afghan Local Police officer turned his gun on them, one of two so-called green-on-blue attacks to hit NATO forces Friday amid a dramatic escalation of the incidents during the last year.
Get out NOW.
No kidding.
Hey, here’s a novel idea! Let’s just LEAVE!
No “transitional phase.” No “rotating out.” No “measured reduction in troop levels.” Let’s just EVACUATE. NOW.
And maybe in the future, we can get a great big public apology from the 90 percent or so of elected officials in both parties who committed us to this disaster.
