To be honest I cant really see it being a western nation. If we assumed it is then we must also assume that the western country behind it would send their people in as we pull ours out. No matter how close of ties Russia / China / US etc has to Afghanistan, in the end the Afghan people want the foreigners out.
I think they would be ok with Arab countries taking the place of the west until they can really get the country going.

I think this was simply, as you stated, cleaning out the library area that was being abused by the detainees.

Two US soldiers killed in retaliation for this and Obama can only think to apologize to the Host nation that killed them. Hmmm.
Any apologies for bible burning and flag burning by Muslims? Any apologies from Muslims for persecuting Christians? NO and NO. Our mea culpa president has no clue.
Karzai can sit on it. Time to bump up Obama's timeline for a full troop pullout in Afghanistan. I know it will disrupt his other plans but this is ridiculous. !@#$ em'
Thanks to Barack Obama’s failure to lead
