COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Afghan Police Trainee Kills Six More Americans



From the BBC

'Afghan policeman' kills six Nato troops

Attackers in Afghan police uniform have targeted Nato troops and Afghan security forces before

A gunman in an Afghan police uniform has killed six service members in eastern Afghanistan, Nato forces say.

The man turned his weapon on the troops during a training mission, said Nato. He was also killed in the incident in Nangarhar province.

Local officials said they believed the incident was not premeditated, but had arisen out of "a misunderstanding".

Nato has not revealed the nationalities of the dead soldiers, but local sources said they were American.

"An individual in an Afghan border police uniform turned his weapon against International Security Assistance Forces (Isaf) during a training mission today, killing six service members in eastern Afghanistan," Monday's statement said.

"The individual who fired on the Isaf forces was also killed in the incident. A joint Afghan and Isaf team is investigating this incident."

Taliban insurgents have dressed as police to carry out attacks before now.

Only at the weekend, two suicide bombers in police uniform killed 12 police officers in south-eastern Paktika province.

Five British soldiers were shot dead in November last year in Helmand province, by an Afghan policeman, possibly a militant infiltrator, who then escaped.


Isaf is training and mentoring Afghanistan's security forces, but there have also been several incidents of Afghan soldiers firing on foreign troops.

Nato said earlier this month it was investigating Taliban claims that an Afghan soldier had shot dead foreign troops in the south of the country.

In July a renegade Afghan soldier shot and killed three British army Gurkhas at a base in Helmand province.

A week earlier an Afghan soldier killed two American contractors inside a military base in northern Afghanistan.

Nato's exit strategy for Afghanistan involves progressively handing over to the local security forces.

But the BBC's Paul Wood in Kabul says this latest incident will raise questions again about the loyalty and reliability of those forces and the extent to which they could have been infiltrated.

71 comments:

  1. Figure that Osama was no where near any of those NATO troops.

    The shooter was not an international terrorist.

    No, he was a disgruntled Afghan.
    If those US troops wee not there, doing a job the Afghans could and have done for themselves, for thousands of years, the families of those men would not be grieving, today.

    this latest incident will raise questions again about the loyalty and reliability of those forces

    That these Afghans are not "loyal" to the US or NATO should be taken as a matter of course. There is not reason for them to be "loyal" to their paymasters.

    They consider themselves to be Afghan patriots, rightly so, considering that 75% of the population knows nothing of the cross border raid against the US, the one that dates back to 11SEP01.

    An attack initiated by Saudi and Egyptian radicals, supported by the ISI of Pakistan and their proxies in Afghanistan, while sponsored financially by the Saudi "Golden Chain".

  14. Ah our own lesbian jew hater and our resident self confessed murderer are talking about Jewish history..

    Notice how they both go to extremes?

    I say destroy the black rock of mecca?

    they say NUKE everyone...

    Personally I would support nuking mecca's black rock, if it would change the path of the other 1.23 billion moslems from being a war-like murderous cult.

    As for the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem?

    Oh, now you admit that JEWS actually lived there?

    So now, Jews can be blamed on myths that are not even part of the actual torah, mistranslations and general lack of understanding and yet have NO RIGHTS to near those very same pleaces!

    Wow...

    Damed it we do and damed if we dont...

    T is more concerned that a mythical people were all consumed by the dreaded Jewish people's sword 3000 years ago than the reality that female pussy lickers like her are hung from lampposts in much of the modern islamic world.

    Never mind what the so called Jews did 3000 years ago, you dont even believe they were real...

    But those fun filled moslems that chop of clits?

    they do exist...

    and you love to defend their rights to wear burkas in a moslems exclusive only city...

    Blow up the dam rock, kidnap it or yes, nuke it...

    but you dont seem to concerned at the hundreds of millions of people UNDER the sword of Islam

    No mention of Darfur, Islamic genocide and ethic cleansing...

    Only that The Jews supposedly murdered some people 3000 years ago...

    Rat (the self confessed contract killer) talks of the destruction of the Jewish Temple (1 and 2) and adds in the 6 million in the holocaust for good measure as some comparison to destroying a ROCK...

    Yep shitless and shit for brains...

    Rat, (our self confessed murdered) objects to destroying Islam's holy Black rock

    Somehow he argues that Moslems will be even more mad at the world after such an occasion.

    Let me ask the readers of THIS blog, (not the Rodent or his lesbian Jew hater) DO MOSLEMS SEEM HAPPY NOW?

    ISLAM is at war with the world NOW...

    It's now like they can ADD another REALLY onthe sign that says "we really really really hate you GREAT SATAN"

    They already HATE and DO as much as they can NOW, already to murder and behead the rest of the world, MY SOLUTION?

    Destroy the Keeba...

    Force Islam to change..

    Pulverize the Black Rock...

    Make it sand, Kidnap it and turn it into stone for the world's largest BBQ pit...

    Somehow our self appointed guardian of the Black Rock, our very own, Ms T, the famous lesbian, Judaism trasher, finds it impossible to destroy this famous hunk of rock without nuking the innocent death cult goat fuckers that visit the rock to throw stones at satan.

    I wonder did all of our money spent to educate this example of lesbo love not learn anything in the military?

    Hell I never was educated by our fair military and YET I KNOW not all NUKES are the same size...

    But somehow the innocent loss of islamic wife beating men, clit cutters of the 1st order, pisses her off...

    A spike in antisemitic incidents in the UK in the wake of the Gaza flotilla raid was also noted.

    Citing CST figures, the State Department reported that there were 609 antisemitic incidents in the UK during the first half of 2009 compared to 296 incidents in the last half of the year.

    Unless emissions are reduced dramatically in the next ten years the world is set to see temperatures rise by more than 4C (7.2F) by as early as the 2060s, causing floods, droughts and mass migration.

    * Aspirin should not be given to anyone under the age of 16, unless under specialist advice. It can cause Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal disease, in this age group.
    * Aspirin should be avoided if you have a stomach (peptic) ulcer, haemophilia or other bleeding disorder, or an allergy to aspirin or to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). These include ibuprofen and diclofenac.
    * Aspirin should only be taken with caution by certain groups, including those with asthma, allergies, liver, kidney or digestive problems.

    You seem to be of the opinion that adaption means doing nothing Ash.

    Adaption: Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat.[1][2] This process takes place over many generations,[3] and is one of the basic phenomena of biology.[4]

    from Wiki

    Which makes more sense to you Ash?

    This from Whit's link:

    As the world meets in Cancun, Mexico for the latest round of United Nations talks on climate change, the influential academics called for much tougher measures to cut carbon emissions.

    In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years...


    or, thinking like this?

    "...let's imagine that over the next 80 or 90 years, a giant port city - say, Tokyo - found itself engulfed by a sea-level rise of about 15 feet. Millions of inhabitants would be imperiled, along with trillions of dollars' worth of infrastructure. Without a vast global effort, could we cope with such a terrifying catastrophe?

    Well, we already have. In fact, we're doing it right now.

    Since 1930, excessive groundwater withdrawal has caused Tokyo to subside by as much as 15 feet. Similar subsidence has occurred over the past century in numerous cities, including Tianjin, Shanghai, Osaka, Bangkok and Jakarta. And in each case, the city has managed to protect itself from such large relative sea-level rises without much difficulty.

    The process is called adaptation, and it's something we humans are very good at. That isn't surprising, since we've been doing it for millennia. As climate economist Richard Tol notes, our ability to adapt to widely varying climates explains how people live happily at both the equator and the poles. In the debate over global warming, in which some have argued that civilization as we know it is at stake, this is an important point. Humankind is not completely at the mercy of nature. To the contrary, when it comes to dealing with the impact of climate change, we've compiled a pretty impressive track record. While this doesn't mean we can afford to ignore climate change, it provides a powerful reason not to panic about it either.

    There is no better example of how human ingenuity can literally keep our heads above water than the Netherlands. Although a fifth of their country lies below sea level - and fully half is less than three feet above it - the Dutch maintain an enormously productive economy and enjoy one of the world's highest standards of living. The secret is a centuries-old system of dikes, supplemented in recent decades by an elaborate network of floodgates and other barriers. All this adaptation is not only effective but also amazingly inexpensive.

    Keeping Holland protected from any future sea-level rises for the next century will cost only about one-tenth of 1 percent of the country's gross domestic product...
