I saw this article earlier today about that murder of two Americans last weekend and it made me so mad, I could spit. But here’s where the administration starts covering up for our Afghan “allies” from (who else?) the LA Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

However, at a news conference early Sunday evening, Lt. Gen. Adrian Bradshaw, a deputy coalition forces commander, said NATO and Afghan military officials were still trying to determine whether the incident was triggered by firing from insurgents, adding that the \u201ccircumstances were somewhat confused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a report of insurgent firing taking place in this incident, which we believe may have been a factor,\u201d Bradshaw said. \u201cWe are trying to establish whether it was an insider attack or whether the initial exchange of fire was provoked by insurgent firing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradshaw did not provide any further details on the incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, somehow, the Talban showed up and started it all, huh? Kind of sounds like the “video excuse” they used for the murder of our ambassador in Benghazi, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Well, I got a second statement in regards to the incident;<\/p>\n

Hadn’t been out on patrol in a couple of weeks. Decided they needed to go back out and “check in”. Convoy got to the checkpoint where they had been many times. 2 ANA came down from the OP and were talking to SFC and Contractor. One of the ANA asked if they would like to come up to the OP for [tea]. SFC respectfully declined. The 2 ANA turned around and started walking back to the OP. Then (I think only one but maybe both of the ANA) turned back around and starting firing on the SFC and Contractor. SFC did get shots off and killed the 2. The ANA at their OP opened up on our entire convoy wounding the other three of our guys then ran. Our Soldiers began to secure the area so that the KIA and wounded could be evacuated and were not able to go after the ANA who ran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kind of leaves the insurgents completely out of the story, doesn’t it? Of course, the insurgents story is mostly wishful thinking on the part of NATO. I’m pretty sure the SFC knew who was shooting at him when he returned fire. And since the soldiers in the convoy saw who was shooting at them as the ANA turned tail and ran, who would have said that there were insurgents involved? Besides Gen. Bradshaw, I mean.<\/p>\n

This misinformation campaign is getting out of hand. From workplace violence excuses to this latest “fog of war” and ninja insurgents excuse. These are soldiers’ lives not campaign handbills we’re discussing here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
