Gunmen wearing Afghan military uniforms kidnap American, Australian in Kabul
The AP headline says that the perpetrators were “gunmen posing as Afghan soldiers,” but there is no reason why the kidnappers couldn’t be members of the Afghan military, which is rife with jihadis, as the green-on-blue killings demonstrate. Meanwhile, the hostages will now be killed, enslaved, ransomed or freed outright. Here is a salient passage […]
Kabul: Taliban target security team protecting government VIPs, murder at least 28
The Obama White House continues to pretend that the Taliban can and should be a “peace partner” and enter into negotiations to form the next government in Afghanistan.

Several days ago I reported that a Pentagon spokesman called the Taliban an “important partner” in the Afghanistan “reconciliation process.” Now the U.S. embassy in Kabul is denying that. Can you imagine this confusion arising at any other point in American history? Can you imagine the Pentagon calling the Nazis an “important partner” in the […]
Afghanistan: Jihadis murder 44, injure hundreds in wave of bombings
Once the U.S. troops are entirely gone or reduced to an insignificant symbolic presence, how long do you think the Kabul government will last before it is toppled and the Taliban is back in power? Months? Weeks? Days? The entire U.S. incursion into Afghanistan has been wrongheaded, mismanaged, goalless, rudderless, and monstrously wasteful. “44 dead, […]
Afghan Muslim cleric defends lynching of woman for burning Qur’an
“It was unclear whether she had actually burned a Koran, but during Friday prayers at a mosque in a smart area of Kabul, a cleric’s sermon broadcast by loudspeaker told devotees that the crowd had a right to defend their Muslim beliefs at all costs.” At a mosque? But didn’t all the moderates rise up […]
