Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack near Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital of the restive province where some 9,000 British troops have been struggling to quell Taliban insurgents. Trust is crucial for foreign forces tasked with training and equipping their Afghan counterparts to take on a bigger share of fighting the Taliban as Western governments plan their withdrawals. "In that patrol base, this will be a traumatic event," said Lt.-Gen. Nick Parker, deputy commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). A spokesman for the NATO-led force said the soldiers were killed "in a suspected premeditated attack by a member of the Afghan National Army using a combination of weapons." "We believe these were the actions of a lone individual who has betrayed his ISAF and Afghan comrades," said Lt.-Col. James Carr-Smith, a spokesman for Task Force Helmand. "His whereabouts are currently unknown but we are making strenuous efforts to find him." NATO and U.S. forces commander General David Petraeus said a joint investigation was underway into the incident, and pleaded for continued unity between 150,000 international troops in the country and local security forces. "We have sacrificed greatly together, and we must ensure that the trust between our forces remains solid in order to defeat our common enemies," Petraeus said in a statement. "This is a combined, joint mission, Afghan and Alliance troopers fighting shoulder-to-shoulder against the Taliban and other extremists." Tuesday's attack is not the first time foreign troops have been killed by renegade Afghan security forces, raising concern among some in the West about the degree of Taliban infiltration in state security forces trained and funded by NATO as part of its fight against the resurgent militants. "We heard about this this morning with regret and the President was upset to hear this," said Waheed Omer, spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai. In the deadliest such attack, an Afghan policeman killed five British soldiers in a training base in southern Helmand province last November. A month later, an Afghan soldier shot dead a U.S. service member and wounded two Italian soldiers in a joint NATO and Afghan base in northwestern Badghis. There have been several other attacks by men in army and police uniforms against government and international forces.

One can say the same about Britain’s relationship with the US. When all nations walk away from the recklessness and pointlessness of the death and destruction that the trails US foreign policy, the only country carrying the US tails would be Britain.
