| When Hamid Karzai issued his angry ultimatum to the United States over an airstrike that killed women and children in Helmand province on May 28, he left a crucial piece of the story out: The shooting death, also on May 28, of an anonymous U.S. Marine, which triggered the fighting that led to the airstrike. I think I've found out who the Marine was. The American killed in Helmand province on May 28 was Lance Cpl. Peter Clore. He was 23 years old. Only six weeks in Afghanistan, Clore and his war dog Duke were leading a patrol to clear improvised explosive devices. ...in calling on Americans not to strike at Taliban-filled houses, Karzai is demanding a free-fire zone for insurgents.

| #5 My guess is, we're beginning to cut into Karzai's racketeering. Coalition Forces have been hitting the Karzai family business pretty hard. But there's still supply convoy "protection". |

| #3 We're definitely hurting someone who owns a piece of Karzai. How about every time he opens his mouth we immediately oblige with two more strikes? Pretty hard to miss that message. |

| #2 "Someone" needs to ARCLIGHT Karzai's cottage. I'm sure he'll "get the message". Perhaps the people of Afghanistan will, also. We need to do this every time we're "asked" to fight a war with one foot in a bucket and our hands tied behind us. My guess is, we're beginning to cut into Karzai's racketeering. |
