Call me crazy, but I would have thought the beard would be a dead giveaway:
U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan have assigned ‘guardian angels’ – troops who watch over their comrades even as they sleep – as part of a series of increased security measures to protect troops against possible rogue attacks.
The added protections are part of a directive issued in recent weeks by Marine General John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, to guard against insider threats.
And they come in the wake of a spike in attacks on U.S. and coalition forces by Afghans, including the point-blank shooting deaths of two U.S. advisers in Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior.
The lengths the Taliban are prepared to go to in order to gain access to coalition forces was illustrated yesterday when local police arrested seven men dressed in women’s clothing in Mehterlam, Laghman province, east of Kabul.
Not that this cross-dressing tactic hasn’t been tried before…
…Maybe they learned this from al-Qaeda (in Iraq)?

A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
Um, when did our soldiers cease to be guarded at night by OUR OWN?
Was this some PC crap whereby our troops sleep unguarded as proof that we consider the Afghanis as our allies, one and all?
Or is this something that happened after the last of my brothers, cousins and nephews all left the military?
I only ask because it used to be standard EVEN in Germany during the Cold War that our sleeping troops were guarded by our own armed sentries.
Please, anyone know when this new policy took effect?
Not wearing a burqa, gave them away. There’s all sorts of deals to be found on Google. Sandals instead of combat boots- they`re learning.
They’re such lovely “ladies”.
If we… the US, NATO, etc… had the moral courage to actually apply the provisions of the Geneva Conventions as written each of these bearded ladies would face battlefield trial, conviction, and execution.
Of course, the leftists don’t have the courage to apply the GC’s as written.
They only want to howl about it when they think it benefits the point they’re trying to make.
Should have had a photo of Keef Dolbermann. He got fired from Current TV. According to Algore, the science was settled on that one. How does he weasal his way out of that huge contract? Is Keef going to now post on You Tube?
What a terrible week for lefties. The Bamster overheard on a hot mic, on how to undermine America. The Ruskies love it. Looks like Obamacare is heading south. Bama’s budget got skunked as a shut out. The race baiting in Florida is looking like a gigantic flop. Ozero okayed the wrong pipeline. Keef got the boot. Time for a vacation, I guess.
Looks like a huge document dump this afternoon.
Nan, G
it must be a new thing, since there where afghan soldiers shooting the AMERICANS since the trash fire I DON’T THINK THE MILITARY ARE SLEEPING WITH THEIR BOTH EYES SHUT,
SO THE GENERAL IDEA IS PROBABLY TO SAVE MONEY THAT OBAMA ASK TO CUT,
and y’all in the COMMAND IN THERE WILL PROBABLY ONE DAY FIND AN EXHAUSTED MILITARY GETTING UP AND LEVEL THE PLACE WHERE ANY AFGHANS ARE, and recent history will repeat itself,
HELL IF THE AFGHANS DOES SHOOT THEM IN THE BACK,IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, I’M SURE THE AMERICANS CAN DO BETTER FACING THEM, THE GUARDIAN ANGELS ARE NOT TRAIN FOR THAT KIND OF SURVEILLANCE, THEY DON’T KNOW THE ENEMY, THEY DON’T KNOW THE STRATEGY OF WAR DECEPTION TECHNIQUES, ALL OF THEM
wtf is wrong with the US COMMANDER IN CHIEF TO ALLOW THAT
These are some of the virgins that the suicide bombers will be receiving in their next life. That is when the bomber will realize why they are still virgins.

HI,is in it ironic that the FRENCH GOVERNMENT NOW ARREST 19 TERRORISTS CONNECTED TO THE MUSLIM AL QAYDA KILLING OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS JEWISH FAITH, WHICH ARE CONTRIBUTING FULLY TO THE BETTERNESS OF THE FRENCH COMMUNITY, TOO BAD THE MURDERER HAD TIME
TO KILL, BEFORE THEY ON GOVERNMENT OPEN THEIR EYES ON THE PROBLEM, JUST LIKE THEY ARE SURPRISE TO HAVE TERRORISTS IN FRANCE, IF THEY ARE, THE PEOPLE SHOULD NOTICE THEIR STUPIDITY, WHICH HAS NO PLACE IN THIS ERA OF MULTI NATIONS SHARING A SAME COUNTRY,
SIMILAR TO THOSE ELECTED AS LEADER, IN AMERICA,
NOT BEING AWARE OF THE COMMUNITY HAVING SO MANY CRIMES COMMITED BY THE YOUTHS FREE AND PROTECTED,
WHO THE HELL IS PROTECTING THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE VICTIMIZE ? THEY ARE NOT CRYING OUT LOUD,
THEY LOST HOPE AND ACCEPT THEIR FAITH, UNTIL ONE HAS THE GUTS TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE OTHER CRIMINALS
AND LOOK AT THE OUTRAGE DIRECT FROM GOVERNMENT SIDING WITH WHO THEY PAINT AS THE GOOD GUYS
Why is it these poor, diseased, clearly insane cave-dwellers have better fashion sense than Michelle Obama?
Those pics remind me of 6th st in Austin but those a$$ clowns couldn’t have run with Leslie in his day.
@Aye:
Agreed. Rule #.223 should be administered to them as they are not accorded POW status, but that of terrorists.
