U.S. Troops Do Not Have Control Of Taliban
Afghan security forces working alongside U.S. troops don't appear to be under control of the Taliban or insurgent groups. But that hasn't stopped them from shooting and killing 70 U.S. and coalition troops in 45 incidents since 2007. Defense officials will testify on the matter today before the House Armed Services Committee. Their prepared testimony will say the Afghan troops acted out of personal motivation. In a few cases, insurgents impersonated Afghan soldiers. In the latest incident, an Afghan solder killed a NATO service member.

As long as our soldiers have to live by our military rules we will never have a hold on the Taliban. Time to leave that place.
That's exactly what the democrats and Obama want. We are a failing country depending on the government to move us into the Islamic Culture. We are all future muslims.
