Taliban militants threatened to behead Americans in Afghanistan, as gunmen opened fire Tuesday on a memorial service for civilians killed by a U.S. soldier and protests erupted over a series of U.S. actions that is spreading outrage throughout the country.
The threats and attack occurred as a NATO-Afghan investigation cleared U.S. troops of malicious intent in the accidental burning of Korans at a U.S. military base, one of several recent incidents that have sparked protests and emboldened the Taliban.
In Washington, President Obama called the weekend killings of 16 Afghan villagers, including nine children, a case of “murder,” but vowed that the violent reaction to the shootings would not deter the U.S. mission there.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, warned that the backlash from Sunday’s killing spree and earlier actions by U.S. troops plays into the hands of the Taliban as they fight to regain power in Afghanistan.

Just get everybody the hell out of there and leave these people to kill each other off. Money talks, if you're worried about oil. We protect our borders, pump our own oil, buy from our friends, let them have nukes to blow each other off the map.
They're going to do nothing but kill anyway, been doing it for 2,000 years. If we're not there, we don't kill or get killed.
DUH.
5:38, agree.
Just leave. They want us to leave, almost all US citizens want out of there, the troops dont want to be there....
This deserves an actual WTF, the more you think about it
I have become a Muslim in the past year , I wish they would behead all the infidel soldiers.
We will become the Power!
Bring the soldiers home and send Obama and the rest of the Socialist Dumbocrats to them.
Again, Ron Paul, people.
Don't get Obami. Promised to get out when he became president and waits forever to do so. He just promises anything he can to get what he wants and press his personal agenda. I'm 100 years old, just joking. But, if they start be-heading Troops, I'll volunteer to go back over there. I can still point a gun and pull a trigger!
And yet we are still in negotiations with the Taliban? Wtf.no more negotiations. One more killing from these people and we should just wipe them all out and come home. Idc man woman and children. They are all killers and will continue to be till they are eradicated!
Dear 5:59 P M Great for you on the transition. Maybe you should find a U.S. Marine and tell him what you said on this blog. I bet I could help you out with that 72 virgin thingy. Just trying to help.

I guess you have proved the point everyone has been trying to make. There is no PEACE in islam only pieces. You are 1 of 2 things. You are either a male that was converted while he was in prison or you are a female that has very low self esteem and your boyfriend is looking for a green card. Come talk to us again in 5 years once he becomes a citizen and has left you and taken any kids you have had back to the country he came from. It happens all the time. Egyptians are famous for it.

I agree 110% with you. I think we should meet and talk about how we can further our common goals.
Name the place and I will be more than happy to meet you.
we invaded them. in fact, we invade everyone. i was a firm opponent in the 9/11 conspiracy theory. however, the path we are taking is looking more and more like a path started at a conspiracy.
