The sad saga continues: Man in Afghan uniform kills 2 British troops

From Fox News:

A man wearing an Afghan police uniform killed two NATO [British] troops in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, the international military alliance said.

The assault appeared to the be the latest in a string of insider attacks that have threatened to sever the partnership between international troops and the Afghan forces they are trying to train to take over responsibility for the country's security...

At least 53 international troops have been killed in attacks by Afghan soldiers or police this year...

The surge in insider attacks is throwing doubt on the capability of the Afghan security forces to take over from international troops ahead of a planned handover to the Afghans in 2014...

Since the end of September - when the Obama administration lifted a phony, fake and short-lived suspension of training of Afgan forces - roughly eight coalition troops have been killed by their supposed Afghan allies.

The phony, short-lived suspension of training of Afgan forces had been implemented, last month, after U.S. and NATO officials acknowledged that, in the rush to implement the President's politically calculated troop withdrawal from Afghanistan [by the end of 2014] and the transfer of Afghanistan’s security to Afghan forces by the middle of 2013, Afghan troops were not properly vetted, which resulted in a spike in Green-on-Blue attacks and an unabated stream of NATO casualties - most of them Americans - at the hands of their supposed Afghan allies. A few weeks later, the administration announced the resumption of training of Afghan forces.

Obama's timetable must be implemented according to schedule, even if it means a weak vetting of Afghan forces and a continuous stream of U.S. and NATO casualties, because, as the Politician-in-Chief so eloquently explained, "I can't lose the whole Democratic Party"....
