Agency France Press<\/a> reports that two more US troops have been killed during the fifth day of rioting in Kabul over the burning of a few Korans;<\/p>\n

“There was a shooting inside the command and control centre of the interior ministry and two Americans have been killed,” the source, told AFP, requesting anonymity.<\/p>\n

Some reports said the shooting was a result of a “verbal clash”, but details of the incident were not immediately clear.<\/p>\n

The shooting came on a fifth day off anti-US protests across Afghanistan over the burning of Korans at an American-run military base.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, you read that right – they were killed inside the Interior Ministry, so I’m guessing that Harmid Karzai will be issuing an apology any minute now. <\/p>\n

The Afghans constantly remind us that there’s no evidence that these gunmen who target our troops are organized inside the ANA, but the number and frequency of these incidents suggest otherwise. I disagree with Michael Yon<\/a> on a lot of things, but in this instance, we agree;<\/p>\n

This American demands an apology from Karzai for all of the insider attacks killing Americans and our Coalition partners. If Karzai refuses to apologize, we should cut off aid before 01 March. Discontinue all operations not directly related to counterterrorism. Relax rules of engagement to what is permitted within the Geneva Conventions. Utterly destroy Taliban and other enemy sanctuary using open warfare. Discontinue all COIN work. Make the enemy afraid to mention our names for fear of causing us to appear. When we leave Afghanistan, the enemy should be completely humiliated and never in question about who was put in their place. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, the Afghan government doesn’t appear to be at all concerned about weeding out insurgents from their military, so we shouldn’t be concerned about anything besides killing terrorists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
