| [Iran Press TV] Afghan protesters have held an anti-US demonstration in the central province of Wardak, demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country. On Saturday, protesters shouted slogans against the United States and called for an end to the country's decade-long military presence in Afghanistan The angry demonstrators say the US-led foreign forces have set fire to a drugstore and desecrated the Holy Koran. Meanwhile, ...back at the secret hideout, Scarface Al sneeringly put his proposition to little Nell... Afghanistan's parliament has approved a recently signed security pact between Kabul and Washington, which extends the US presence in the war-torn country to another decade beyond 2014. Critics have condemned the agreement as a violation of Afghanistan's illusory sovereignty, demanding all foreign troops leave their country by the end of 2014. |

| #3 Wardak was the site of the Chinook loss last year that killed so many SEALs. I hope its residents enjoy the remainder of the 7th century. The Romans would have deputized their local allies to drive the Pashtuns out of Afghanistan. Fortunately for them, we're not Romans. Of course, if we were Romans, the Pashtuns might be a little more deferential. |
