In one of the most devastating Taliban assassination strikes of the war, the entire top leadership of Kandahar Province was wiped out on Thursday in an attack that missed the top American commander, Gen. Austin S. Miller.

The gunfire in Kandahar City killed the region’s powerful police chief, Gen. Abdul Raziq, as well as the provincial governor and intelligence chief, and wounded two Americans, Afghan officials said.


I'm so glad these past 17 years of war have brought peace and stability to Afghanistan....

When I was there 2012-2013 and every night we would go out on a raid to K/c the “Taliban” shadow governor of the Kunar province. Every night we would hit our target and magically the next night a new shadow governor would appear. Rinse and repeat every night for the entire deployment just substituting the location.

Kunar province.


The only direct effect our efforts in Kunar Province have had on the United States is a Mark Wahlberg movie. And that is just sad.

If we really want to win over there, we would. Alas, we haven’t wanted to win a war since 1945.

fricking pussy politicians in this country.

We should have let the Russians have it. The USSR would still have collapsed, after which they would have become independent like other former satellites. However, they would have been somewhat modernized and radical groups would have been mercilessly slaughtered.

So, then there would have been no 9/11, no terror war, no travel nazis and no islamic invasion of Europe.

Well here is the part you left out.

quote:

“It’s hard to know who opened fire, but it comes from security guards accompanying the officials,” Mr. Datagiri said. “It’s believed that one of the governor’s guards opened fire, but it is not yet confirmed.”


How the hell do you work with people when you can't trust them to not shoot you in the back at any second?
