KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Two U.S. troops were gunned down by two Afghan soldiers and an accomplice Thursday, the latest of six American service members killed by their Afghan partners since the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. base last week sent anti-Americanism soaring in a nation that has long distrusted foreigners.
The killings come at a time when international troops have stepped up training and mentoring of Afghan soldiers, police and government workers so the Afghans can take the lead and the foreign forces go home. Success of the partnership, the focus of the U.S.-led coalition's exit strategy, is threatened by a rising number of Afghan police and soldiers - or militants disguised in their uniforms - who are turning their guns on their foreign allies.

Maybe if hussien apologizes again the killing will stop.
Time for the united states to pack up and leave that opium-loving country...
GET OUT. NOW. There is nothing we can do to please them but to leave. Leave them to their own demise; we have our own oil.
Time to close the imigration gates. We just keep letting them in,giving them cheap money to open business and bring all the family from home. We can't take care of our own lets stop letting them in, figure out who is already here and send them back. They are not happy here and want to change the U.S. with no sense of conforming to the American Way!
burn some more books in retaliation
