“It looks like after 10 years the U.S. wants Afghans to collectively join the Taliban for revenge!”-Mahmood Khan, Panjwaii representative in the Afghan Parliament

The U.S. Army SSgt who shot up women and children, then burned them, supposedly acted on his own volition.  But witnesses say there was at least three soldiers, and they seemed to be targeting women: “He came to my uncle’s home, he was running after women, he was tearing their dresses, insulting them.”-Rafihullah, 15 year old survivor

The incident took place in Panjwaii, Zangabad district, Kandahar Province. Panjwaii is a hot bed of anti-U.S. action. In May of 2011 Canadian forces turned it over to U.S. forces: “This has been Canada’s area. What Canada hands off now to the U.S. elements that take over is dramatically improved.”-U.S. General David Petraeus

Now local elders have come forth saying they were threatened by U.S. military leaders after a deadly explosion hit U.S. forces.  The threats were specifically against their women and children, elders say U.S. officers told them to expect “bloody revenge against your children and wives.”

Afghans also reject the U.S. claim that the Staff Sergeant was mentally ill, after all the U.S. Army did certify him fit for combat!  However, it’s been revealed that doctors at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, have been “doctoring” soldiers reviews to make it look like they’re psychologically fit for duty.

“How can a mentally sick man get out of the base, walk for miles, break into people’s houses, and kill them? Why not just kill his fellow soldiers inside the base?”-Mahmood Khan, Panjwaii representative in the Afghan Parliament

In February I wrote that the U.S. policies, and actions in Afghanistan are consistent with ethnic cleansing, or genocide.  That included policies implemented by the Afghan government at the insistence of the United States (things like people being refused food because they don’t have a national ID card).  It’s a portent of things to come for the United States.
