CBS News<\/a> reports that two US soldiers were killed in the on going and overblown protests in Afghanistan regarding the destruction of some defaced Korans from the detention center library in Bagram Airbase;<\/p>\n

A statement from the International Security Assistance Force – Afghanistan, the international coalition in the country, confirmed that two troops were killed in Eastern Afghanistan on Thursday by “an individual wearing an Afghan National Army uniform.”<\/p>\n

ISAF does not typically give the nationality of casualties until family members have been notified, but the CBS News source in the Afghan government said those killed and injured in the attack in the Khogyani district of the eastern Ningarhar province along the border with Pakistan were Americans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of these protests are going on while the president is apologizing for US troops using an accepted method of destroying defaced Korans. Apparently, that’s how the Muslims themselves rid themselves of old Korans. The Korans in question were used to pass extremist messages between prisoners at the detention center. According to Islamic Law, writing in the Koran is considered to be defacing the holy book. So what is really going on here?<\/p>\n

Afghan troops have killed seven protesters, and US troops shot another one while defending themselves, according to Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And of course, the Taliban is on the sidelines urging Afganis<\/a> to kill the “invaders”;<\/p>\n

“Our brave people must target the military bases of invader forces, their military convoys and their invader bases,” read an e-mailed Taliban statement released by spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.<\/p>\n

“They have to kill them (Westerners), beat them and capture them to give them a lesson to never dare desecrate the holy Koran again.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Never mind that it was the detainees who “desecrated” the texts in the first place. Time to leave Afghanistan and leave them to their own devices. Either that or just start gunning down everyone who scowls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
