The headline at the source does say "France to withdraw troops from France" but they meant to say "France to withdraw troops from Afghanistan".
They are following the Vietnam playbook on this one - 1,000 "advisers" this year, next year 3,000 "advisers" and then some group of the "advisers" or some ship will get attacked (or they will make shit up, like the Gulf of Tonkin)and then WE ARE AT FULL BLOWN WAR AGAIN.
3,000 soldiers to serve in Africa next year
They will be teaching the local how to better kill people and destroy stuff, because that is what our military does for the global domination of multinational corporations.
Oh, and so some evil shits can make a lot of profit.
The article would have you believe we are sending in a group of Boy Scouts or Peace Corps.
OOOOHHHHH>>>>>> isn't this sweet? They are going to stop dropping bombs on desperately poor people living in mud huts, unless they need to for "self-defense". I guess prior to this they did it for fun and giggles. I am also guessing that if NATO WAS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN then they would not need to "defend" themselves from Afghans who are too poor to afford a bicycle.
NATO limits airstrikes on Afghan homes

KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S.-led military coalition in Afghanistan is limiting airstrikes against houses to self-defense for troops, following a strike last week that killed women and children alongside insurgents, a spokesman for the alliance said Monday.
Such airstrikes are now being designated a weapon of last resort to rescue soldiers, cutting back their use.
"Though airstrikes on homes are a small part of the international operations in Afghanistan, they have brewed resentment among Afghans, even when there are no casualties, because of the sense that homes and privacy have been violated."
I think we should drop a few bombs on occupied American homes and see if we end up with "NO CASUALTIES". And, of course, since Americans are reasonable and sane peoples, there would be no resentment from such an action, unlike the crazy Afghan people.
"A pact signed by the Afghan government and the U.S. military in April putting Afghans in charge of joint raids in villages was supposed to ease these tensions, but the aftermath of Wednesday's airstrike against a home in eastern Afghanistan has shown that the Americans are still making the decisions on the ground."
That's easy to explain - the US military lied then and they are lying now.
and today's liar is: Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings.
Negotiations to reopen NATO supply routes from Pakistan collapse.
Isn't that what happened on 9/11? Only it happened to something much larger than just a few occupied homes. And I don't recall there being anyone firing at the planes to have the taliban kill all of those innocent people.
There was no bombings on 9-1-01. They flew airplanes into buildings.
And the Taliban had NOTHING to do with that. It was a criminal gang called AL QAEDA that claimed they did those criminal acts that day.
Keep in mind that the CIA started al Qaeda and got them going. Maybe not a very bright idea????
And 9-1-01 is the ONE AND ONLY DAY in my lifetime where the US needed the US military to protect them. AND THE US MILITARY COULD NOT EVEN PROTECT THE PENTAGON!!!
losers....
Let's just hope that you don't ever need any of them. Oh wait! They would still help you. Because that's what they do. You shouldn't take it out on our soldiers. You really should put ALL of your anger towards the government if that's how you feel. Let me ask you a question. Are you one of the protesters from Westboro?
"Let's just hope that you don't ever need any of them."
Actually, our country did need the military on 9-1-01 and the military could not even protect the Pentagon.
And obviously, I am not part of the Westboro protesters.
AND, as I said on the last thread:
And I mainly blame the politicians and the American people for all this evil.
