USA Today | NATO: 2 coalition US troops killed in Afghanistan
Two American soldiers were killed Thursday in a shooting by an Afghan soldier and a literacy teacher at a joint base in southern Afghanistan, officials said, the latest in a series of deaths as anti-Americanism rises following the burning of Qurans by U.S. soldiers.
Both were killed on the same day that the top NATO commander allowed a small number of foreign advisers to return to work at Afghan ministries after more than a week of being locked down in secure locations because of the killing of two other Americans.
President Obama "My apology calmed things down."

The short answer is no. Don’t bother me with that "cut-and-run" crap. We are light years removed from that nonsense. This is a case of irreconcilable differences between to incompatible parties. It’s as simple as that. There has been a gross breach of contract, therefore, we are no longer responsible for continuing through with our obligations. Indeed, let’s leave them with "their own miserable lives."
