This isn't about American occupation, it is about Jesus Christ. And COIN is going to work wonders in Afghanistan. Sure.

...A third Afghan man traveling with the IAM group said he survived by reciting passages from the Quran and saying, "I am Muslim. Don't kill me."...


The Taliban are 'playing the game' of deception and the USA isn't even calling this a war so much as measure of 'counter insurgency.' 

This is ridiculous.  You know the Third Reich existed and now the Taliban do.  When is this war going to be a war and not a hand holding ceremony and get this over with.  COIN is not a strategy, its a 'borderline personality disorder' dreamscape. 

Either fight the war the USA is suppose to fight with its sophistication or leave.  This is ridiculous.  The Taliban have IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVISES and the USA can't defeat these bigots?  This is nuts. 

Give the Aghan military all the weapons it wants to lead a strong ground assualt against these morons and get out of the country.  End of discussion.
