US Building Islamic War Planning Buildings


This is enough to make me want to vomit....

THE US Army's combina tion of development with counterinsurgency in Af ghanistan is admirable in all but one regard: We're building mosques and madrassas, too.

When it comes to building roads, bridges, dams, schools and clinics in the 14 eastern Afghan provinces under de facto US Army protection, our military has done far more than any charity, the US Agency for International Development or the Afghan government.

In Khost Province, the model for US counterinsurgency, we built 50 schools last year alone and broken ground on a 200-bed hospital. But we've also finished four mosques, with four more in the works, plus three madrassas, with plans for one in every district (typically areas of 60,000-120,000 people). READ IT ALL HERE
