All of you folks still in Afghanistan who might have been worried that you’d be a target of “insider” attacks can breathe easy now, the president is on the job, finally. The Associated Press<\/a> reports that he told the media today; “we have got to make sure we are on top of this”.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how he figures he can do more…I mean, he let them turn their desks so the troops could face the door. How much can one man do? Oh, and the “Guardian Angel Program” where one person the room gets to be armed and watches the Afghans who come in the room. Don’t forget the fact that he let them put bullets in their weapons. Hasn’t he done enough already? <\/p>\n

The article goes on to say that “the military needs to beef up its vetting process for Afghan troops”. yeah, see, it’s their own fault they’re getting shot to shit – the Americans aren’t vetting the Afghans well enough. Not that the Afghans aren’t vetting their troops well enough…it’s the military who isn’t doing their job. Because all they have to do ask the prospective recruits if they plan on shooting up some Americans and they’ll always answer truthfully.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Obama “plans to speak to Afghan President Hamid Karzai as well”. That’ll help loads. And, really, hasn’t he already talked to Karzai about this? Why does he think that talking to Karzai will help now? Didn’t Leon Panetta have a conversation with Karzai this weekend, right before this last attack on a US soldier?<\/p>\n

Maybe he’s worried because the LA Times did an article today entitled “Afghanistan ‘insider’ attacks pose threat to West’s exit strategy<\/a>“. Yeah, when your only strategy is withdrawal and you can’t do that right, and the LA Times notices, something’s vastly wrong.<\/p>\n

But don’t worry, you folks who have your asses on the line over there, I’m sure the president is going to focus on this problem and get to a solution like he’s done to so many problems he’s faced. Like fixing the economy and closing Guantanamo, a solution is right around the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
