    There is something that has bothered me about this attack and I am wondering if anyone has heard any comments on a basic mistake that should not have happened.

    I read that the cafe in which this took place was a regular lunch stop for US troops-----a REGULAR stop in a non-secure area!

    Who the hell is minding the store?

    That has to be the most insensitive thing I have ever seen you post. I cannot post the depth of my disgust.
