KABUL:

The US forces conducted a raid to destroy a cache of weapons north of Kabul early on Monday morning, a US army spokesman said.

“US Forces conducted an operation to destroy a cache of munitions that could be used to conduct attacks against Afghans and Coalition Forces,” public affairs director Colonel Brian Tribus said.

However, Afghan residents took to the streets in Parwan province in protest, briefly obstructing the highway to the capital.

Local authorities complained they had not been consulted ahead of time. “As the operation was launched without coordination of local authorities, it made people angry,” a spokesman for the governor, Wahid Sediqqi, said.

2. This whole operation would run a lot smoother

if we just cut out the middleman and supplied ISIS with arms directly.

3. We should have been outta this shit-swirl

TEN friggin' years ago. HAD WE - there'd be no ISIS menace nor impediment to the world's heroin supply. And face it - one form of death is more compassionate than the other here.
