Similar to our increasingly embarrassing ties to MEK (http://ayonae.com/iraq-bans-mek-us-protects-the-terrorist-organization-t10934.html):

Experts in regional affairs believe that Taliban militants attacked the Kandahar prison with the green light from US forces.

They say it is questionable - how could the militants dare attack the prison with US-led troops stationed just northeast of the jail?

The sources also noted that although clashes between Afghan security forces and the militants lasted for several hours, US-led troops did not intervene.

Ordinary people share the idea, asking how is it possible that hundreds of militants could attack a government prison, detonating more than 800 kilograms of explosives and foreign forces show no reaction.

They say the blasts were deafening and awakened everyone in the region. No one can claim not being aware of the attack.

"There are two opinions among Afghans following up the attack; non-political individuals say the Taliban managed to attack the prison with the help of God, while those more political believe that US forces helped them," Ahmad Saadat, a political expert, said.

Maybe we were running low on "terrorists" to serve as our reason for being there?

I'm sorry that makes no sense...except:

"The prison attack came just a few hours after Defense Secretary Robert Gates told his counterparts in Europe that NATO members need to bolster their military effort in Afghanistan, where violence has been escalating.

Dramatizing his report, Gates said that for the first time, the monthly total of American and allied combat deaths in Afghanistan had exceeded the toll in Iraq during May."

If these guys were so dangerous, why did we put them in a prison that was known to be flimsy enough to easily break them out of (http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5h-rtRCnO76PDcFcybptgB1PbXuZw) to begin with? Then, why did US and NATO forces stand by for hours while the attacks on the prison went on?

It's just like the story I posted awhile back about how our military actually protects the poppy farmers in Afghanistan, even though a significant amount of that will end up as heroin in the veins of Americans.

Our actions in Afghanistan have been extremely suspect.

Why? The entire purpose of our presence in Afghanistan comes down to setting up bases to protect an oil pipeline and for potential threats against Iran. Nobody gives a shit about Afghanistan itself and the whole "fight Al Qaeda" thing must be a running joke.

Well sure, you and I know that.
