140 SOLDIERS KILLED IN TALIBAN ATTACK ON AFGHAN BASE
Assault came as troops unarmed, standing for prayer
(New York Times) A day after a lethal Taliban assault on an army base in northern Afghanistan, an official said on Saturday that at least 140 soldiers had been killed, making it the single deadliest known attack on an Afghan military base in the course of the long war.
“Today, there was even a shortage of coffins,” said the official, Ibrahim Khairandish, a member of the provincial council in Balkh Province, where the attack occurred. Citing information from army officials, Mr. Khairandish said 60 soldiers had also been wounded in the attack.
The soldiers, most of them unarmed, were shot while eating lunch or emerging from a Friday Prayer service at the headquarters of the Afghan Army’s 209th Corps in Balkh by assailants in military uniforms who entered after another attacker had detonated explosives at a check post. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault.

My comments: It appears to me that there is No Way to Win this War against the Taliban, al Qaeda and now ISIS in addition. It the Afghans cannot defend themselves, Afghanistan will Ultimately be Lost, and this after 15 years of U.S. intervention and Billions of dollars. The U.S Big Bomb just killed 100 ISIS and now they kill 140 Afghans with conventional weapons.
