Taliban To Target Names Exposed By WikiLeaks

Nice way to hamstring operations, or get someone killed.

The U.S. military has already accused WikiLeaks of having "the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family" on its hands after leaking 92,000 classified documents. The Taliban has now confirmed it is poring through the documents, and intends to hunt down and punish any suspected spies named.

Not a doubt in my mind the regime wanted exactly this result.

WikiLeaks and the obama administration have the soldiers and informants blood on their hands. It was reported weeks before the treasonous act was committed, WikiLeaks sent the docs to obama admin and asked them to read over for any info that THE ADMINISTRATION would NOT want made public.

As usual the Keystone Cops, aka obama Administration, was too involved in partying, child porn, golfing, vacationing, and bowing to enemies to bother with such such "stuff".

IT'S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE, IT'S TOO LATE.

Yes, because we all know things need to be "fair" and "transparent" (just like our own government....***snort***)

We in the US all so love war, huh? We are all just warmongers...yeah, right.

The wikileaks piece of garbage who posted this publically in the name of being fair, and oh, I so hate war (no, sir, you HATE the United States of America, the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and it is rather obvious)

May you BURN IN H**L...you have tried to play God...and you have or will cost GOOD people their lives...you are scum.

You make me puke in my mouth. Pansy twit.

The Obama regime are the ones who leaked these documents, or someone on their behalf.

Barack Hussein Obama is working for the Weather Undergound, and possibly the Muslim Brotherhood. He has ties to a flotilla that will try to break an Israeli blockade, his friend Rashid Khalidi formerly with the PLO is heading that flotilla. The name of the flotilla, "The Audacity of Hope." That was the name of Barack Obama's Book, written by Bill Ayers from the Weather Underground. The Gulf Oil Disaster was no accident.

I'm terrified that they are planning something for the fall, because they are so desperate to retain power. Please take it seriously. I've heard Andrew McCarthy discuss the flotilla. He prosecuted the blind sheik, the man responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Hysterical, how many innocent Afghans have been killed by American bombs? Weird how that doesn't upset you.

[Xiaoding]

The Pentagon now has an excuse for losing another 10,000 battles. What, they have machine guns? We didn't know that! Damn WIKILEAKS!!!!

[Ran / Si Vis Pacem]

"Weird how that doesn't upset you."

...and Sewage takes great delight in it, apparently. As if Sewage gives a damn about the lives? Or the women being butchered daily by the Taliban?

By the way, Sewage is spelled S-e-w-a-g-e.

Salvage, can you name any where innocent civilians were never hurt? You can't. That's a part of war, which is one of the reasons all wars are ugly.

Salvage, is, of course, ignoring some of the most restrictive ROE ever imposed on our troops in a combat zone, to the point where even Afghan civilians are complaining we're being too lenient!

First graf:June 22, 2010: After a year of concentrated effort, NATO forces in Afghanistan have reduced civilian casualties, caused by foreign troops, 44.4 percent. There were 7.8 percent fewer battles even involving civilians, and 52 percent fewer civilians hurt by foreign troops. The most striking reduction (82 percent) was in civilian casualties from air strikes. All this is calculated by comparing the last three months with the same period from last year. All this despite nearly twice as many foreign troops in action, and much more combat. Meanwhile, civilian losses from Taliban action are up 36 percent. (emphasis added)

Second graf:Many Afghans are not happy with this policy, with foreign troops increasingly encountering angry Afghan civilians, who demand that NATO act more decisively in pursuing and killing Taliban gunman. Even if it puts Afghan civilians at risk. (emphasis added)

The article goes on to point out that the Taliban kills far more civilians, and they do on on purpose. I suppose that doesn't "upset" Salvage too much. ;)

The sad thing, Dan, is that the revenge killings are already happening. (hat tip to Grim at blackfive.com)
