The two US officers mocked the Koran and argued with an Afghan official, identified as Abdul Saboor, 25. Saboor then shot eight rounds at them, killing both.
Saboor reportedly walked out of the heavily-guarded ministry without interference, which suggests that his actions evoked widespread sympathy.
This. IS. Huge.
First, it reveals the Big Lie. These two, the LtCol and the Major were NOT just sitting at their deskes engaged in 'hearts&minds' coordination.
They were joking about burning the 'word of god' to Afghans.
And
Second, there was no intrigue here as 'back of the head' implies like how do you shoot TWO (one a SpecOps) in the back of the head.
EIGHT TIMES...that's a lot of noise in a building.
" Saboor reportedly walked out of the heavily-guarded ministry without interference, which suggests that his actions evoked widespread sympathy."
Was Saboor applauded as he walked out? As he got in his vehicle and drove away?
With this event there maybe 5 people on both sides- green & blue -talking back and forth to each other.
The two US officers mocked the Koran and argued with an Afghan official, identified as Abdul Saboor, 25. Saboor then shot eight rounds at them, killing both.
That version of events is hard for me to believe.
It would be for me as well, except as I've posted above, the Two shots, one to each, to the back of the head was always harder to accept.
And the fact that Saboor did not slink away but was admired as he walked thru the building....
And of course the reaction by ISAF/NATO/USSA to immediately bring in ALL Liaisons with Afghan personnel speaks volumes.
The Washington Post quoted two Afghan policemen at a Kabul checkpoint. "Afghans and the worlds Muslims should rise against the foreigners. We have no patience left," one said, while his partner added, "We both will attack the foreign military people."
Again. Why would you burn a book?
[A]fter 2014, the Afghans will do the bulk of the fighting but will still have advisers from abroad in combat with them. U.S. forces are still expected to supply air support, artillery, medical evacuation and combat logistics after 2014 because the Afghan army will have none of these support services ready before 2016 at the earliest. The U.S. role will shift, but it is critically important to understand that, in the shift to a mission mainly devoted to advising and supporting whatever the terms used our forces will still be fighting on the ground, before, during and after 2014.
We'll be out by Xmas. Which means Iran will not have it's Eastern flank exposed.
Considering what we now know about the true strength of the Afghan National Army (ANA), the prospects for a clean cut appear slimmer everyday.
Depending on whos doing the counting, the ANA consists of 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers, but only 1 percent of their units can operate without direct NATO assistance, according to Army Lt. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, an officer with the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), in a recent interview with Military.com.
All we've done is create a ready made Army for the Taliban.
Maybe we should start cooperating with the ISI now for some valuable info instead of trying to destroy it?
And keeping the Pakistanis from taking Iranian gas....;}
To ReCap:

Curtis Scaparrotti, an officer with the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), in a recent interview with Military.com.
Scaparrotti appears to think it is somewhat redeeming that after $12 billion of U.S. investment in 2011 alone, 42 percent of the ANA units are capable of leading security operations with advisers.
Thanks a lot considering that after this weeks riots, NATO didnt even deem its advisers safe enough to let them continue their work in the ministry buildings. ...

Mullah Omar could give the order today and how many of that Army would fight under the White Taliban flag?

As for Karzai himself, installed as president by the US-led invasion of 2001 and long derided as the "mayor of Kabul," he stands exposed as the tool of a hated foreign occupation, despised even by his own policemen.
Don't you know that Palace is tense right now....;}
The desecration of the Korans at Bagram flows inexorably from the reactionary character of the US-led occupation of Afghanistana war of aggression waged against the Afghan people in the face of widespread opposition to war in the American and European working class.
Who had nothing to do with 9/11.
Amazingly, the act of burning a book will be the death of the Afghan Occupation.

Thierry Meyssan
27th February, 2012
On 13 February 2012, Thierry Meyssan revealed on the first Russian television channel that Syria had captured a dozen French soldiers. Voltaire Network is now in a position to confirm that as of 26 February the number of French prisoners is 18 (eighteen).
If Paris admits that they were on a mission, they will be entitled to prisoner-of-war status and protected by the relative Geneva Convention; but if Paris denies having sent them, they will be considered as foreign civilians and judged in Syria for their crimes, which are punishable by the death penalty.

" Israeli officials say if they decide to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, they will do so without the prior consent or knowledge of the US, according to an AP report citing leaked US intelligence.
The message was conveyed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak to a number of senior US officials visiting the country, the news agency said, citing a US intelligence source. "

"Reform and reaction: AD 1978-1979
Daud's government is overthrown (and he and most of his family killed) by a lef-wing faction within the army. When the coup is complete, the officers hand over control to the nation's two leftist political parties - Khalq (the People's party) and Parcham (the Banner party). The two are for once working in harmony, though only briefly.
Once in government, the two Khalq leaders seize power. Nur Mohammad Taraki becomes president and prime minister, with Hafizullah Amin as one of two deputy prime ministers. The Parcham leader, Babrak Karmal, is the other deputy prime minister - but he is soon despatched abroad as ambassador to Prague.
Taraki and Amin press ahead with a rapid programme of reform along communist lines. Equal rights for women are introduced, land is redistributed - all against the advice of Moscow, which favours a more cautious approach for fear of a Muslim backlash. Meanwhile the leaders of the Parcham party are persecuted and in several cases killed. Many, including Babrak Karmal, take refuge in Russia.
Noting here how British Endeavors are ALWAYS presented as Victories, even as it's Empire is crumbling.....
sound familiar?
" In November 1878 three British armies push through the mountain passes into Afghanistan. They take Jalalabad and Kandahar by the end of the year, and soon seem to have achieved everything they might wish for. A very advantageous treaty is agreed in May 1879 with Yakub Khan (the son of Sher Ali, who has died in February).
Under the treaty Yakub Khan accepts a permanent British embassy in Kabul. Moreover Afghanistan's foreign affairs are from now on to be conducted by the British. But events soon prove that such a privilege can be dangerous in Afghanistan. In September the British envoy to Kabul and his entire staff and escort are massacred.
This disaster brings an immediate escalation of British military activity in Afghanistan, but to little political advantage.
And Karzai's chances of getting out of the Afghans alive get worse by the day:
"In March 1979 a resistance group declares a jihad, or holy war, against the godless regime in Kabul. In the same month more than 100 Soviet citizens living in Herat are seized and killed.
Meanwhile the two Khalq leaders are themselves at loggerheads. In September 1979 the president, Taraqi, attempts to assassinate his prime minister, Amin. Instead, within two days, Taraqi is in the hands of Amin supporters. Three weeks later he dies - 'of a serious illness', according to the official announcement.
"In March 1979 a resistance group declares a jihad, or holy war, against the godless regime in Kabul. In the same month more than 100 Soviet citizens living in Herat are seized and killed.

Example of the finest CYA as only the Japanese know how.
Proclaiming that Fukushima is now in 'cold shutdown' and 'under control' there is therefore no need to prevent overflights.
The Major Media have thus been doing just that.

"Whether the wars in the Middle East are really about oil, central banking control, or military-industrial profits seems irrelevant to the general public who have been only conditioned to believe in simple concepts like good versus evil. Obviously, everyone naturally views their side as good. Despite extraordinary evidence of our side's grotesque misdeeds, making the mental leap that we're the worst of the bad guys seems to be too big a gap to close for most people."

In the most recent GOP debate, a resolved Ron Paul received groans and boos from the crowd for attempting to explain the "just war" principle of using military for defense only when referring to Iran. He then received an awkward silence when he explained that war should only be acceptable if the people's representatives vote for it per the Constitution. Similarly, he heard crickets with his historical perspective of the USSR's thousands of proven nuclear warheads pointed at America to show what little threat Iran actually poses. Finally, he tried to explain that war is a bad idea economically; that we simply can't afford it.
Nothing seemed to sway much of the audience. They only see good and evil. And they've been told Iran and Syria are evil. Therefore, the evil doers must be dealt with through death and destruction like all the other GOP candidates advocate.
By the way, the Obama Administration supports the exact same war mongering as is obvious by the State Department's rhetoric and actions outlined above.
Somehow the masses, who are the only ones who can stop the bloodshed, continue to buy the propaganda and rubber stamp the murderous aggressive wars. The gullibility of the masses has surpassed embarrassing levels, and unless there is a rapid awakening, we are surely headed for blood....;}
This seems to happen with humans also: Paul Buchheit, from DePaul University, revealed, From 1980 to 2006 the richest 1% of America tripled their after-tax percentage of our nations total income, while the bottom 90% have seen their share drop over 20%. Robert Freeman added, Between 2002 and 2006, it was even worse: an astounding three-quarters of all the economys growth was captured by the top 1%.
This sounds exactly like the kind of hierarchical behavior observed in the animal kingdom when social species get stressed. If there is not enough to go around, resources that are available are concentrated in the hands of those at the top of the pyramid, marginalizing those at the bottom of the pyramid. If total resources are inadequate, population at the bottom of the pyramid is reduced, leaving those at the top untouched.
In this post, I discuss some of the issues raised by Dilworth and the parallels I see with humans. I also add a perspective of hope....

Only about 8 feet of concrete to eat through at 2 inches an hour, I would imagine once it hits earth it travels much more rapidly.

" Like a greasy loan shark working for a hardboiled mob cartel, World Banks M.O. is to lend large capital packages (made with money or credit created out of thin air) which the target country and its government obviously cannot afford to pay back. These loans often stipulate that the country relinquish control of its natural resources, the true wealth of the nation, over to international corporate bodies for management.

During the assault on the rebel stronghold in the Homs district of Bab Amr, the Syrian army took more than 1,500 prisoners, mostly foreigners.

One of them is a Colonel working for the DGSE transmission service.
Chief Judge Richard Cebull, a George W. Bush appointee to the federal district court in Montana, admitted yesterday to sending a racist email forward comparing President Obamas conception to sex with a dog:
A little boy said to his mother; Mommy, how come Im black and youre white? the email joke reads. His mother replied, Dont even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, youre lucky you dont bark! [...]
Cebull said his brother initially sent him the email, which he forwarded to six of his old buddies and acquaintances.
He admitted that he read the email and intended to send it to his friends.
The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan, Cebull said. I didnt send it as racist, although thats what it is. I sent it out because its anti-Obama.

"Which route will Israel choose?
It will go over Syria. There would be hell to pay if Israel went over Turkey or Jordan. If the Saudis permitted it, the Iranians would retaliate by assassinating Saudis all over the world. So it will be Syria. This is especially true as the country is in chaos today.
Will Syria attempt to shoot down Israeli aircraft flying over its territory?
Yes, it has surface-to-air capability and it also has MiG-23 and MiG-27 fighters. The Israelis will escort their bombers over Syria with their F16s. These fighters will wipe out anything that Syria puts up. The ground-based defenses are old, and no doubt, poorly manned these days.
1) Russia is right next to it's Syrian Counterparts with these S-300 Systems.
1a)Russia from it's base in Tartarus, plus contacts in the Pentagon/WH will know the instant Israel Launches.
2)Syria is not in trouble from it's 'war with hillary's State Dept Mercs. Being encircled and rounded up as I type.
3) Most importantly of All, Iran will KNOW that Israel is coming. From Over a 1000 miles away.
