2 Marines killed in jail break attempt
CNN reports that two US Marines were killed in southern Afghanistan when a prisoner attempted a jail break during his prayer period;
“The prisoner escaped a room where he was observing prayer time, acquired a rifle and subsequently engaged Afghan and coalition forces,” the statement said, adding that two US marines were killed after they tried to subdue the prisoner.
“The prisoner was later shot and killed by small-arms fire,” it said, but did not identify the attacker and did not say whether he was affiliated with the Taliban.
I guess it’s fine when they interrupt their own prayer time to do stuff to our guys. If they’re not saying whether or not the guy was Taliban, that means he was indeed Taliban. If he wasn’t, it would have led the story. I mean, Eikenberry, that dick, is still not blaming the Taliban for the 10 aid workers’ deaths last week even though the Taliban has admitted as much.
The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack, said Karl Eikenberry, U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, but “we do not know whether they are responsible or simply taking credit for the cowardly and despicable acts of others.”
Speaking of attrocious behavior and the Taliban, if you read our Facebook fan page this morning, I mentioned that the Taliban murdered a pregnant woman for her adultery.
But we should just leave Afghanistan and let these guys have their country back. What could it hurt, right? besides, the Wiki-traitors have released the details of incidents in which we’ve done much worse, haven’t they?

RE: The murdered pregnant woman- Afghani women clearly don’t need our help, according to the CP assbags.
My bp can’t take much more of this.
Do you ever wonder if the Taliban listen to the news and go,” Dang, what the —- are we going to have to do to get some credit from these idiots?”
I heard from a source that the ANA let the prisoner out to go to prayer service and then he grabbed a weapon and shot the 2 Marines. I took the story in the WSJ and CNN as the spin on the story. Trust the ANA? I don’t think so.
