The obsequious idiot who serves as the Joint Chief of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, thinks that more sensitivity training will stop the Afghan soldiers from shooting our guys in the back.....it's happened 97 times already by the way...
From TheNewYorkPost -- If you don’t want to be shot in the back by your Afghan training partners, the Pentagon advises, don’t offend their religious sensibilities. Don’t kick your feet up on a table, for instance, and never ask to see a picture of their wives and kids. “There’s a percentage [of attacks] which are cultural affronts,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said in a recent interview.
Does this moron really think that's why they are killing us? They're killing us because we are an infidel nation occupying Islamic land. No amount of sensitivity training will change that.
Among the stupid things on the list is the necessity of handling Koran's with rubber gloves, ostensibly because in Islamic culture the left hand is considered dirty. So we are trying to impose our sophisticated brand of democracy onto a primitive culture that still wipes their asses with their hands? Am I the only one who sees the fallacy here?
They will never stop killing us, ever. We need to leave there, like yesterday.

@Ed "They will never stop killing us, ever."
If foreigners invaded America, killing and maiming Americans right and left, ruining our infrastructure, raping our women, and showing contempt for our customs and mores, we wouldn't stop killing them, either. Ever.
Not to put too fine a point on it Isaac, but they have no infrastructure. It's still the 11th century there. And we're not raping their women. Are you really drawing a moral equivalence between them and us?
I'm not saying we needed to invade Afghanistan, we never should have, but these people do harbor terrorists that intend to attack the US one way or another.
I don't happen to agree with the Bush doctrine of taking the fight to them where they live...at least not this early in the process. We should wait until they form up and actually have an actionable plan, then kill them from a distance....every 2-3 years or so. That's what I call effective, efficient foreign policy.
@Ed "...but these people do harbor terrorists that intend to attack the US one way or another."
"In 1952’s Lavon Affair, the Israelis were prepared to blow up a U.S. Information Center in Alexandria and blame it on the Egyptians. In 1967, the Israelis attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty, killing 34 crewmen, and then used their power over President Lyndon Johnson to block an investigation into what had occurred. In 1987, Jonathan Pollard was convicted of spying for Israel with investigators determining that he had been the most damaging spy in the history of the United States. In the 1960s, Israelis stole uranium from a lab in Pennsylvania to construct a secret nuclear arsenal. And the spying and theft of U.S. technology continues. Israel is the most active “friendly nation” when it comes to stealing U.S. secrets…." ~Philip Giraldi, former CIA counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer
To which I would add, in 2001, Israel's Mossad, in conjunction with others, killed 3,000 Americans in the most egregious act of terrorism on American soil ever.
I don't see any of your well-tempered outrage over terrorism and terrorists directed Israel's way, Ed. No call to kill Israelis from afar every two or three years. No deep yearning for revenge and retribution. Why?
All "friendly" nations spy on each other...that's just a fact of life. It's their job to try to get stuff and it's our job to protect it. We do it to them and they do it to us.
What did the Israelis have to gain by attacking the Liberty? Why couldn't it have been a wrong-place-wrong-time mistake? Why was our ship that close to an ongoing war anyway? Nobody had IFF beacons back then.
Isaac, when you advance the 9/11 inside-job-by-the-Jews meme, you risk credibility for your otherwise sage arguments on other topics.
Why did Israel attack?
We are frequently asked, "Why did Israel attack?"
The motive is irrelevant. If motive were a factor, then Charles Manson should be released for lack of plausible motive.
The facts are clear. Nearly every researcher who has seriously investigated the circumstances agrees that the attack was deliberate. Evidence is overwhelming.
In any case, the attack on USS Liberty was a war crime even if one accepts the Israeli version of what happened, and we know that the Israeli version is untrue.
Most senior US government officials of the era and nearly every senior intelligence official agrees -- often based upon study of intercepted communications -- that Israeli forces deliberately attacked a ship they knew to be American. Why they chose to do that is not an issue.

9-11
"What we need to stand up and say is not only did they attack the USS Liberty, they did 9/11. They did it. I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at it's headquarters, Marine Corps and I made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period." -Dr. Alan Sabrosky, March 14, 2010
Manson had a motive...he wanted to start a race war, then place himself in charge in the aftermath. Ridiculous to be sure, but motive nonetheless.
Isaac, I watch my share of TV crime shows and for any crime to make sense to investigators, there has to be a weapon, opportunity, and motive. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense.
Mossad? And I'm assuming their motive was to keep America's wandering eye laser-focused on the scourge of Islam, no? Was the first WTC attack Mossad also? How about the twin embassy bombings in Africa? Were those Mossad too? Is it your argument that the evil Jooos control world events to the same extent they control Hollywood and the world precious stone industries?
You give them too much credit.
