Soldier deaths in Afghanistan

Posted by OrwellianUK on November 5, 2009, 1:23 pm

In the analysis of the incident of 5 British soldiers killed by an afghan who was being 'trained as a policeman' there appears to be much pontificating about the need for a 'better vetting process'.

I wonder if anyone in the mainstream will think to point out that this incident is a clear symptom of how our presence is viewed by the afghans in general?

As Chomsky pointed out in the hardtalk interview, it doesn't matter what he or anyone else thinks, it only matters what the occupied people think
