Apologies are in order

Another Afghan masquerading as a soldier has killed yet another American soldier and wounded others. So, I guess it is time for the apologist in chief Obama to scrape and bow and kiss the backsides of the Muslim world once again.  Certainly he must apologize again for America. How else could we as a nation possibly respond to such and understandable action.

The sad part of all of this, is that if this country is lucky (and I mean real damn lucky) we might just vote this bass turd out of office in November. Which means it will be at least February of next year before we can hope to change the game plan and rules of engagement in Afghanistan. Too late for those who have already died at the hands of his incompetence and those will continue to die under this idiotic and catastrophic administration.

KABUL -- A man wearing an Afghan National Army uniform opened fire on coalition troops in eastern Afghanistan on Friday, killing an American and wounding two others, officials said.

"An Afghan Army soldier turned his weapon against US soldiers inside an Afghan-US military base in Kunar Province, killing one US soldier and injuring two others," provincial police chief Ewaz Mohammad Naziri told AFP.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

 Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, claimed in a text message sent to AFP that 12 American soldiers were killed. The group often exaggerates casualty figures.

Earlier, NATO's mission in Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said in a statement that "an individual in Afghan army uniform turned his weapon against coalition service members in eastern Afghanistan today, killing one service member."

It comes just four days after three coalition troops were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in eastern Afghanistan.

On Sunday, another soldier was killed in an IED attack, and a man wearing an Afghan National Army uniform shot dead one coalition service member in southern Afghanistan.

The Taliban announced the start of its "spring offensive" last Thursday. Seven Afghans, many of them children, died after a large bomb exploded in Kabul last week, with the Taliban claiming responsibility.

A total of 20 NATO soldiers have been killed by Afghan colleagues in at least 15 separate attacks so far this year.
