| Coalition Sharply Reduces Joint Operations With Afghan Troops |
| 2012-09-19 |
| [NY Times] In a significant blow to a core element of the Western exit strategy from Afghanistan, the American-led military coalition said Tuesday it has temporarily curtailed joint operations with the Afghan Army and police forces. The new limits were a sign of how American priorities were being drastically reordered amid a wave of anti-American sentiment brought on by an anti-Islam movie, which has sparked riots across the Mohammedan world and on Tuesday was the motive behind a suicide kaboom here that killed 14 people, 10 of them foreigners. |

| #2 "American priorities were being drastically reordered amid a wave of anti-American sentiment brought on by an anti-Islam movie." NY Slimes AKA State Run Media Has nothing to do with the cold blooded murder of many of our people in uniform implementing Hussein's deadly exit strategy, ya see. Also has nothing to do with the attack on the United States Constitution (free speech) or the establishment of religion (sharia law) upon the free speech by the Democrat Socialist Party USA, allies of all things evil, including 6th century Mecca/Kaaba. |

| #1 The Afghan government made clear on Sunday that it wants the Americans to immediately turn over another 600 prisoners they are still holding. We're overdue for a big Sarapoza-III jailbreak. I'd guess sometime well before next years Spring Offensive. |
