US WARNS AFGHAN LEADER'S COMMENTS THREATEN TROOPS

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan warned his troops to be ready for increased violence because of a series of anti-American statements by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, NATO said Thursday.
In an email to battlefield commanders, Gen. Joseph Dunford, said the remarks could spur more insider attacks, days after members of Afghan security forces killed two U.S. troops and a U.S. contractor in two separate shootings.
"We're at a rough point in the relationship," Dunford said in the email, according to a senior U.S. official, speaking anonymously to discuss the confidential communication.

So please remind me again - why are we still spending blood and treasure in this hell hole? Our "ally" threatens the welfare of America's finest - not acceptable.  I realize we can't pull out overnight but we should start getting out as quickly as possible.
