Obama’s peace partners, the Taliban, took credit for the murder today of two American officials in the Afghan Interior Ministry building. The gunman, who is still on the loose, shot the Americans in the back of the head.

ABC News reported:

Two high-ranking U.S. officers were shot and killed by an assailant believed to be Afghan inside a high-security government building in Kabul on the fifth day of nationwide unrest sparked by the burning of Korans at a NATO military base.

The assailant entered the officers’ room at the Interior Ministry, which had a security code lock, and shot both in the head, according to a senior police official. The shooter escaped and is still on the loose, according to NATO and Afghan officials.

The Afghan Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack, though there is not yet any evidence connecting the group to the shooting.

    Access in and out of the building was high security, keycodes required, so this speaks volumes of collusion with the enemy at the highest levels.

    It’s time to consider making a parking lot out of a large section of Afghanistan, or any other country in that area. A real American president would consider that – the big “O” whines.

    “Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said. “There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests.

    This can’t be correct. Barack Obama said the Taliban are our friends and we can trust them to negotiate with them for peace. Hillary Clinton staked her professional reputation on their trustworthiness, pledging that they’re honorable people that we can sit at the table with and resolve our differences.

    This must be more of the vast right wing media conspiracy.

    What I would do, if I were a member of the military brass, would be to covertly dispatch sniper teams with orders that when Taliban members, especially those of the leadership, are located and identified, they are to be dispatched with no questions asked.

    Let’s see how they deal with a sudden increase in cases of death-from-a-long-distance before resorting to the big-parking-lot solution.

    Since most of us have arrived at the conclusion that we have the most inept administration in the history of the country, it’s interesting to ask… what would actual leaders do if faced with this situation? I know Hillary swore up a stream of American-hating profanity and demanded the Taliban not listen to the evil Republicans because “they are not America. Barack Obama is,” so we’ll leave those evil bastards out of the analysis.

    What would China do? The Taliban probably should consider this possibility as they’re next once Tibet is liberated of actual Tibetians and the Chinese need more lebensraum. I’m pretty sure China would have not blinked twice at burning a Mosque or two (just ask a Uyghur), complete with the family of some of the troublemakers left inside. Books are small change.

    What would Putin’s Russia do? The Taliban should take a close look at that ripped body and understand… his virility increases with each Taliban he eradicates. Putin would heal the USSR’s impotence.

    India? Do you have any idea the rage that boils over the recurring Taliban and AQI coordinated killings of innocents? I wouldn’t put it past them to wipe a few good sized villages off the map.

    The world laughs at Obama and his crew of poseurs, hacks and clowns.

    Maybe the US military need to rethink there policy of not carrying loaded weapons. Also they need to racial profile everyone in afghanistan that isnt an american soldier.
    Muslims dressed as police/soldiers kill US soldiers every week, the us military for some reason is not learning to combat this threat. Petreus are whatever “perfumed general” is in charged need to be fired and a more competent general put in charge.
    I dont blame the taliban for these killings (its what they do), I blame the US military for its imcompetence in not learning basic battlefield tactics, dont trust the muslims.

    U.S. Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, met with Afghan Interior Minister Bismullah Khan Mohammadi, who offered both his condolences to the families of the victims and his apologies, Little said.

    Was the code in one of the burned Korans? Oh, of course not, maybe in others security is not aware of. This whole thing makes me wonder what is really going on.

    Some Breaches somewhere and again, something is being lost in Translation. Who advised burnings. THE WHERE, WHAT AND WHEN.

    How can security be breached. How is this allowed to happen after the burnings, riots and apologies. This get more remarkable in a bad way every day.

    We need to get out, now. Let them fend for themselves. Our military has been dreadfully reduced and we are sending soldiers in harms way for way to lone. Obama has made a decision to reduce our defenses and before there is anymore blood shed, we need to leave.

    But this would be called turning tail and running. Sorry, I know a few military people. We aren’t chickens we will help but these people don’t deserve our help.

    I have been persuaded by circumstances to agree with pulling out of Afgoofystan. These sand savages do not want to be a nation nor do they want to join the 21st century. I say we do the most kill damage we can in the next couple of months and leave, including taking our money. Let the central government collapse and the warlords restart the tribal wars they are so fond of. Arm both (all?) sides with better death machines. With luck they’ll depopulate rapidly. Try hooking a lot of them on meth as well.

    works for me

    I’m wondering if it was a rule inside this “heavily guarded fortress” where the high-level American Officers were stationed, to not carry any weapons and to ONLY allow Afghans Security Forces to carry weapons in the compound, you know, so that the muslims wouldn’t be offended?

    Wouldn’t put it past the politically correct military establishment to have such a rule. It probably shows up in their Rules Of Engagement Handbook right after the other rule that says you can only pickup a copy of a Koran while wearing a pair of white gloves. Next up? A rule where you can ONLY talk to a muslim while kneeling.
