Obama’s Peace Partners Take Responsibility For Afghan Attack That Killed Two Marines (Video)

Another foreign policy failure-
Barack Obama’s peace partners, the Taliban, released this video today of their attack on an Afghan base yesterday that killed two US Marines.

The Taliban took responsibility for the attack yesterday in Afghanistan that killed two US Marines. The terror group said the attack this week was to avenge the anti-Islamic film and because Prince Harry was in Afghanistan.
NewsDay reported:

The Taliban claimed responsibility Saturday for an attack on a sprawling British base in southern Afghanistan that killed two U.S. Marines and wounded several other troops, saying it was to avenge an anti-Islamic film that insulted the Prophet Muhammad and also because Britain’s Prince Harry is serving there.

The U.S.-led NATO coalition said in a statement that the overnight attack focused on Camp Bastion, a huge British base adjacent to Camp Leatherneck which houses U.S. Marine operations in southern Helmand province.

“We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” said Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a spokesman for the Taliban, which often tailor their claims to the news of the day. “Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet,” Ahmadi said in a telephone call with The Associated Press.

Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is based at Camp Bastion. A spokesman for Britain’s Ministry of Defense told the AP that Prince Harry was unharmed in the attack, which according to Britain’s Press Association took place two kilometers (one mile) from the section of the complex where the prince was located. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government policy.

Barack Obama announced in May that his administration was holding peace talks with the Taliban (Tollybon) in Afghanistan.

   So, he refuses to meet with Israel. He says we’re not allies with Egypt. And these are his peace partners.

   Hm. I think something is wrong with this picture.

   Don’t forget to pray for our men and women overseas, we can support them even if our government is weak. As for my oldest, he will be returning to Afghanistan for his second tour in a month or two…

   #4 Jen… Thank your son for me, he is a good man. My Brother is a Marine and is on his 4th tour, this one in Afghanistan at Camp Leatherneck, I don’t have to tell you being the mother of a soldier how stressful it is waiting for word from your loved one when you hear on the news that their locale was attacked. Thankfully he contacted his father and said he was alright. Please everyone pray for the two Marines who lost their lives last night, and pray for their families. These are the men and women who deserve our utmost gratitude, pray to keep them all safe….
   And also pray to get rid of the conceded uncaring pretender in the WH and his whole administration of hate…..
