"We will defend our prophet until we have blood across our bodies."
The US and NATO troops continue to spill their blood for the Afghans, who after training, have a desertion rate of 1 out 7.
"Americans will pay for their dishonour."
KABUL. Up to 1000 Afghans violently protest, shouting “Death to America!” and “Death to those people who have made a film and insulted our Prophet.” Western embassy personnel in the area are on lockdown.
Members of the mobs set fire to cars, opened fire on police, as they massed outside NATO and US military bases in Kabul today, protesting against the anti-Islamic film that has sparked outrage across the Muslim world. Some 40/50 police officers were reportedly injured in the demonstrations. The protests took place around Jalalabad road, where the US and NATO army bases are located. . Western embassy personnel in the area are on “lockdown” as the protests continue to build.
"We will defend our prophet until we have blood across our bodies. We will not let anyone insult him," said protester Jan Agha Pashtun, giving what was apparently a false name to avoid police retaliation. "Americans will pay for their dishonour."

I think for all those soldiers whose bodies came home to Dover's mortuary, and all the soldiers who came home missing arms and legs, those who came home suffering from the horrors of war, who may never be the same again, have suffered and paid for Afghanistan for 11 long years now. And we are still paying for Afghanistan, suffering the loss of an average of one soldier per day, and at a dollar cost of 2 billions dollars per week.
"We will defend our prophet until we have blood across our bodies."
50 billion dollars spent over the last 11 years to train the Afghans who still 11 years later are not able to defend their own country, allowing us to leave. After training, 1 out of 7 Afghans defect, and face no desertion charges.
If the Afghans will defend their prophet until they have blood across their bodies, why won't they defend their country - so that American and NATO troops can stop spilling their blood for Afghans?
11 years in of the war called, "Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan", in which thousands of lives lost, and so many who came home to Dover in body bags, so many maimed soldiers and damaged souls who did come home, billions of dollars spent, no quick end in sight because after 11 years the Afghans are not yet able/willing to defend their own country.

Slate “The game is over in Afghanistan. An American presence can no longer serve any purpose. Or, rather, it can only extend and exacerbate the pathologies of this war. It is time to get out, and more quickly than President Obama had been planning. The consequences of leaving may be grim, but the consequences of staying are probably grimmer.”
