Afghan Turncoat Soldier Shoots 5 US Troops in Eastern Afghanistan …Update: 70% of US Fatalities in Afghanistan Have Occured On Obama’s Watch

A turncoat Afghan soldier shot and wounded five US soldiers today in eastern Afghanistan.
The LA Times Blog reported:

An Afghan soldier opened fire on a group of American troops, wounding five of them, Western and Afghan military officials said Wednesday.

The attack, which took place Tuesday in Wardak province in eastern Afghanistan, was the second incident of its kind in three days. On Sunday, an Afghan policeman shot and killed three British soldiers.

The phenomenon of “green-on-blue” shootings, in which members of the Afghan security forces turn their weapons on Western troops, has become a serious concern in recent months. At least 26 NATO troops have been killed this year in such attacks.

Afghan officials said the shooter, a new recruit to the army, fled after the shooting, and authorities launched a search. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said the incident was under investigation.

The attack took place at a checkpoint in Wardak’s Sayedabad district, said Afghan army Gen. Abdul Raziq, whose area of command includes Wardak. In August of last year, the district was the scene of the biggest one-time loss of U.S. lives in the war, when 31 American troops, most of them elite Navy SEALs, died after an insurgent managed to shoot down their Chinook helicopter.

While our troops overseas are being butchered by stealth jihadis, the FBI is investigating more than 100 infiltrated jihadists in the US Military.

Not a turncoat, but merely a Muslim, doing what Muslims do.

Was fmr. Maj. Nidal Hassan a “turncoat”?

Nope. Just a Muslim, doing what Muslims do.

#2 When is the F.B.I. going to investigate the Muslims who have infiltrated the F.B.I.?

Or the State Dept., or the Justice Dept., or the C.I.A., or the I.N.S., or DHS?

Never. This is a Potemkin Village.

Time to pull out the troops. I’d hate to have a son in harm’s way knowing that his commander-in-chief is nothing but an affirmative-action empty suit.

WSJ reports that Obama’s sanctions on Iran are filled with loopholes “you can drive a warhead through.” Virtually all of Iran’s major trading partners continue to do business with the rogue state.

Remember the “grim milestone” of 2,000 soldiers killed in Iraq? The media played it for weeks.

We recently passed the same “grime milestone” in Afghanistan. Barely a peep from the media.

being ex-military, the incompetence of todays gay-military makes me very mad. The once-greatest military in the world cant even defend it’s self. Maybe the army need to contract blackwater to provide arm security for the US troops.
I can blame the taliban, the jihadis for this, but it is the US troops “please-everybody, treat everyone the same” attitude that is to blame.
If a pitbull bites you, who you going to blame?

When he’s found, he should be executed in the most painful way possible.

in a real world they would execute this guy & stuff him with bacon then put him on display for a pic for new recruits ( compensate them well , but they agree to have their corpse desecrated if they commit treason). …. * sigh * since this world is so PC we need to get out.

I’m surprised this doesn’t happen a lot more. Our military has been training thousands of potential Jihadi’s for over a decade. This won’t end well for far to many of our troops. We either need to wipe these people out, or get out.
