So the five Afghan soldiers who went missing from two separate U.S. military bases are now all accounted for and apparently headed back to their home country. Feel safer now? Don’t.
The Pentagon, State Department and Department of Homeland Security would like this story to be over and done. (Just like they wanted the White House “fence-jumper” story to be buried. But then we found out he didn’t just jump the fence; he also overpowered a Secret Service agent, burst through the halls and invaded the East Room wielding a knife.)
Here are my nagging questions about another hushed-up national security incident the White House would prefer to whitewash:
–Why were officials so quick to tell the public that these men were not a threat to the public?
`
The Afghan soldiers were seen bleeding from the eyes and vomiting all over a Koran before they were apprehended.
Mohammed. I think I see a common denominator. Give all a shirt with a bulls eye on it.
I’m not worried about this. Wouldn’t you go AWOL the first chance you got if you lived in Afghanistan? It happens regularly. I’m more surprised our rulers haven’t learned not to bring them to the US in the first place. That kind of stupidity worries me far more.
