Seven U.S. soldiers wounded after Afghan NATO base attacked
2012-02-26
KUNDUZ/KABUL, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Seven U.S. military trainers were wounded on Sunday when a grenade was thrown at their base in northern Afghanistan, police said, as anti-Western fury deepened over the burning of the Koran at a NATO base.
It's all our fault, of course...
Despite an apology from U.S. President Barack Obama, riots raged across the country for a sixth day on Sunday against the desecration of the Muslim holy book at a NATO air base at Bagram. Some protesters hoisted the white Taliban flag.
Interesting choice...

#4  Might be time to go to Plan B: Hot Lead. And lots of it. I'll bet that option would sink in with the Troglodytes.
Of course, it will never happen...

#3  The important word here is "northern". Bases in northern Afghanistan come under attack only rarely, so their security is much lower. The Taliban have probably been scoping out those bases for their vulnerabilities for a while now.

#2  Thrown "at" or "within"?

#1  Apologies seem to have worked real well. Maybe it's time to try killing instead. Animals can sense weakness in their opponents, but they tend to back off when members of their herd start getting blown into pieces.
