#2 No apologies warranted, Besoeker; yours is a much more informative update, not a duplicate. And it is a big story, so there will need to be more updates as the day and days go on.

#3 He attacked the house of a tribal elder in a village that is a Taliban stronghold.

This looks more like a targeted act of revenge than a random, anti-Afghan shooting spree.

#4 Yes, I noticed she had an evil look when I saw her face. Sometimes makeup can ruin the looks of a person fast. She looks much better without makeup.

#6 I'm surprised it took this long for someone to snap after operating under those stupid ROEs they follow in AFG.

Quality comment!

Tis true those pages of dead trees become more important than life itself to these goons.

#10 We have that problem here in America as well. God wrote a book? I'm a grown man!

#11 American troops have been killed, 2 or more at a time, over and over during the past three weeks. The US Commander in Chief apologizies to the so called cause and says he diffused the situation as 2 by 2 at a time more American troops continue to be slaughtered. AND the ROE at the moment is to do nothing in retsaliation as 2 by 2, day by day, more of our guys get executed by the Afghans. What in the hell did the Hussein Regime expect. Regardless, the response will continue to be outrageous by the Hussein Regime.

Yes, DO PRAY for our young men and women in this hell hole being made worse by the Hussein Regimeam
