4 U.S. Troops Killed in Another ‘Insider’ Afghan Police Officer Attack

Four American troops were killed in southern Afghanistan early Sunday after a man dressed as an Afghan police officer turned his gun on them at a remote checkpoint, officials said.

The Americans were part of the NATO-led alliance working to train local Afghan forces, the Associated Press reported. It was the third such “insider” attack against NATO forces in as many days, including one Friday in which two U.S. Marines were killed. Two British troops were shot dead Saturday.

Two other international troops were also wounded in Sunday’s attack, Reuters reported. One of the six members of the Afghan National Police was found dead at the scene, and the other five were missing.

“The attack took place in the vicinity of an outpost in southern Afghanistan. It is my understanding that it was a checkpoint,” NATO forces spokesman Jamie Graybeal told the AP. He said the dead Afghan police officer was killed in the clash with troops and it was unclear whether those missing from the scene were involved or not.

Deputy Afghan police chief for the province Ghulam Gilani told the AP the checkpoint first came under attack from insurgents around midnight and that the troops came to help Afghan police respond.

“The checkpoint was attacked last night. Then the police started fighting with the Americans. Whether they attacked the Americans willingly we don’t know,” Gilani said.

A Taliban spokesman told the AP the police who attacked the Americans were not associated with the Taliban, “but they are Afghans and they know that Americans are our enemy.”

The spokesman claimed the missing officers had joined up with the Taliban.

NATO said the situation was under further investigation

The blood of the soldiers is on Obama’s hands. He has handcuffed our soldiers with his ROE and have made them sitting ducks. He should be tried for treason.

  MAHAKALA, Good point. The main contention of the blood on his hands is with his established exit date. What an absurd assertion for any type of warfare! We will fight until this date, then we leave. The enemy can sit and wait, and the established Afghan military and police know where their bread is buttered at this point. With their twisted allegiances and Muslim ways, they know what will be coming to them when the outsiders do leave. The Taliban, and al Qeada will take over and kill anybody outright who does not side with them. These Afghan troops and police to preserve themselves and their families have to prove their allegiance to who will count once 0bama abandons them. 0bama has done as much to promulgate this activity as have the Taliban and al Qeada.

He is will to throw away all of the lives and treasure spent to allow al Qeada win. Sack of sh/t is no better than what LBJ led Nixon in to in Vietnam. We get second place again because of politics.

  I agree. As a military family for over 23 years, the treatment of our troops is dangerous and a disgrace. I fear for the safety of my family members and friends’ families also. We must demand funding be stopped to these countries and our troops brought home now. Obama is AWOL and should be held accountable for his lack of leadership now or in the future.

  Obama is one of them. How he could ever be elected by the American people is beyond my understanding. Not only is the blood of our soldiers on his hands, but the unspeakable grief he has caused so many families and friends of the fallen. Soon, I fear, it will also be the blood of Israel.

  You can’t keep blaming Obama for these things. All those who voted for him are to blame. All those who vote form him again are to blame. At a minimum, 40% of our population will vote mindlessly and without question for our socialist marxist statist president. They are to blame not the one who does their bidding.

Bring our troops home NOW from that hell hole country. We have got to GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST. When the people you are suppose to Trust start killing you that should be your SIGN that something is terribly wrong, You cannot trust those people over there, I’m sure there are a lot of the Taliban and people that sempathize with them that get into the Afghan Police Force just so they can kill our guys, you can’t trust them, none of them, never. Our guys are between a rock and a hard place and I am scared for them. I pray for the Mothers and Fathers that have Sons or Daughters over there, GOD PLEASE HELP THEM AND GOD HELP OUR TROOPS!

Those of us who have family serving see the destructive policies that our family members are forced to do their jobs under. I won’t even put fight because they are not allowed to. Do y’all realize what many call those ISAF patches they wear? I Suck At Fighting. The morale is so low it is heartbreaking.

The Pentagon blames these attacks on our troops. Ordering more sensitivity training. Our military is bowing to Sharia Law!!! Go on and elect Obama again. We will not have a military, just another government agency.

  I saw a report on barenakesislam.com about what our military must endure in Afganistan. The things they see, the brutality toward women, children, each other, by the Afgani people. Even the brutality to animals, especially dogs and the US soldiers are not allowed to interfere. Add to that the ROE’s that have their hands tied behind their back and a CinC who could not care less about them. No wonder morale is low.
  
  I pray for them constantly. I hope that is some comfort to you MOM. God bless you and your family member that is serving.

Damn it, let the Afghans have their anus of a country back. Deal with it on contingency basis. We cannot ‘save’ these people from themselves or their chosen religion. These stories were all too common a year ago. Do think Barry and Co. will be putting on formal event to welcome these soldiers home? Nope. They were just “boots on the grounds”, not suit and tie diplomats.
If our elected officials are hellbent on saving and bettering these peasants, by all means, put your bodies in harm’s way. I’m ALL for supporting the exportation of authoritarian, progressive busybodies.
How many more of our sons and daughters must be executed to make our domestic potentates feel all the more committed? Damn them all. Chickenhawks ready to sacrifice others for their grand visions. MOVE there if those people matter more to you than us.

  Here’s my answer. I have no power to remove the villain from my neighborhood. But, if I know that he is there, I can rat him out.
  
  The Afghan neighbors, Taliban, knew that the al Qaeda villains were there. They had a chance to give them up. They refused. Boom, they are not collateral damage.
  
  Not rocket science to any non-neocon Bushy, that is into nation building, after saying that he would not.

  I agree, if you’re conspiring with them or helping them in anyway you are not collateral and you should get whatever happens to you.
  
  However, your post described the solution being to “nuke’em” if it happened again. The problem with nuking “them” is that you kill everyone. And while some of them may be conspiring (hell, maybe MOST of them are), the fact is that they ALL aren’t. So if you nuke them and kill them ALL you will have killed some people that were innocent.
  
  And that is pretty much a really bad thing to do.

Do any of you really think Obama and the Democrats care how many of our troops are killed? No they don’t. Just as the Democrats did my fellow vets in Nam, they are throwing valuable American lives in to the furnace to fuel the Democrat agenda. As a matter of fact, Obama would rejoice if the Muslims could start killing off Christians and Jews here in America. He is not one of us and neither are a lot of big time Democrats. And a lot of you fools still support them.

Pull our troops out, and NEVER AGAIN involve them in a “police action”. We either send our boys in to kill people and break things, ESPECIALLY the enemy’s will to fight, or we stay at home and mind our own business. All these “police actions” do is bleed our country of true patriots (all-volunteer) while the dirtbags take to our safe streets to slander them.

Another thing we must do is get rid of this “all-volunteer” nonsense. Either ALL citizens of military age are eligible to fight, or NONE of them are. “All-Volunteer” units bleed our Country of patriots, while dirtbags protest in streets kept safe by “all-volunteer” patriots. If we’re in this for our Country, then the dirtbags ought to serve as well.

Screw collateral damage. I’d rather it over there than over here…the Twin Towers were collateral damage.

  Karzai has very little backbone. He needs one. His brother is a billion dollar thief. If we criticize his brother or attempt to bring him to justice via Interpol all the sudden Karzai has a backbone.
  
  Karzai is not cut out for the job. He has not grown in the job. We can’t replace him or look the other way as happened in South Vietnam. So we are between a rock & a hard place. If we get out like in Iraq all our progress will evaporate. The Russian, Pakistanis & Iranians will fight over Afghanistan. Then Pashtun will suffer & I care naught after the sins they have committed.
  
  Personally we should have the CIA wipe out the clan that have backstabbed us as an object lesson.
  
  Part of the reason we ares tuck in Afghanistan is that Colon Powell said if you break it you own it. And yet Powell & others couldn’t muster large enough coalition to ensure victory. Powell is of to other things. With people like Powell pulling the strings we couldn’t oust the Taliban & leave.
  
  I really wish that Massoud had not been assassinated a week before 911. We would have a counter weight to the feckless Karzai. Massoud has stature. He has also fought. I bet Karzai has soft hands of the insipid & timorous.

  That is why we could not go into Afghanistan remove the Taliban & leave. If we had America & the President would have been attacked by the left & the media. It takes a dialogue to correct this Queensbury rules mindset.

  Did you ever want to be there (i.e. Afghanistan) after 911 & what would you have wanted the President & Congress to do about Afghanistan once we got there?
  
  1a. Would you have insisted that we invade Afghanistan to depose the Taliban & capture Usama?
  1b. Or would you have done something lame like parachute 2 CIA case officer to arrest him.
  1c. Or would you have apologized to the Taliban for having harsh words with them & just hold the funerals for the victims?
  1d. Or would you have gone along with the Taliban’s ideal of trying Usama in a country like Kazakhstan get a not guilty verdict, wring your hands & say there is nothing we can do?
  
  2a. If we had simply ousted the Taliban & Afghanistan & the country devolved into civil war & a million people starved to death, you would criticize the U.S.
  
  2b. If we had gone back in with the U.N. to feed the starving & taken casualties form a regenerated Taliban would you say we deserve it & we have tom play by U.N. peacekeeper Rules of engagement (ROE)?

The same problem existed in Vietnam nam, the special forces set up their own snipers inside the forts just to watch our allies if one of them turned their weapons toward the Americans the sniper took them out. This happens in all wars our troops have to be alert at all times as Ronald Regan said “trust but verify” that is what the troops have to do in these situations.

  Romney did not say he wanted to send our troops to Syria … he said he was open to taking on Syria … you NEVER take anything off the table … or tell them your plans (as with Obama’s withdrawl date).

  Syria can’t attack us unless we are over their….Syria is NOT our problem… We are not the protecters of the world. I’m getting tired of our people being killed for the sake of protecting another country….To even put the option on the table should be enough not to vote for him….Get out of the middle east….

  When has Mitt Romney ever said he’s in favor of putting boots on the ground in Syria. I eagerly await that link.

  Between defence bugdet cuts by obama witch was one his frist acts as commander in chief and then putting general mcchrystal who nothing but 3 star obama puppet who would say yes to anything that obama asked for in charge who completely changed our rules of engagement in afghanistan to the point that we had to request permission to fire back even whene fired upon those two acts alone back march of 2009 have made afghanistan even more dangerous for my brothers and sisters in arms and myself those actions are still felt there by all US service members to this day obama dose have blood of all service members killed sense he took over in 2009 and it shows in the number of service members who have died in action in afghananistan the last three and half years later
