First of all it's not any point scoring it was an argument with a mind freak!
I think you missed to read my post it's outskirt of Kabul surrounded with beautiful and dark green gardens of local people no one goes there and the best of best military hardware is 0 to militant attacks, good intelligence is needed to prevent it.
There is no support for them buddy, they weared burqas as you know we Muslims never search for ladies specially Afghans have too much respect and it is a sign of dishonoring a lady in our society for searching them so the 'gay' Taliban carry out this attack on civilians.
This attack has been blamed on Haqqanis:

Their attacks year by year turns on civilians rather militaries (ANSF/NATO/US) that's what which makes me sad more than anything!
firstly
let me pray for the innocent dead and secondly condemn the terrorist attack.
my condemnations are never conditioned by the fact if the culprits were wearing uniforms or not and whther the victims were Western civilians or nameless Iraqis, Afghans or Pakistanis.
my dear, I am not restricting myself to this single choice of of the Terrorists target. the Taliban have attacked ministries and even military installations inside Kabul. the point is, the terrorists are able to pull it off so well every single time.
tell me, and share with me how many times did the occupation forces or Afghan security forces stopped or foiled the attacks outside Kabul? how many times did the occupation forces save the Afghan civilians by capturing these terrorists before they could cause any damage? there wont be many if any at all.
you are saying exactly what I am saying. you need Intelligence. good intel which has the biggest portion coming from the local population. but when i look at those protests of the Afghans after repeat attacks by occupation forces on civilians and dishonouring and desecrating our customs, our faith and way of life then I doubt if any self respecting Afghan will be forthcoming to provide intelligence to occupation forces who might shoot him rather than allowing him to approach and say something.
please try to understand what I am saying. if the Taliban are not locals themselves then they wont have dug a tunnel from north Waziristan to the Kabul suburbs and suddenly appeared in a big group in one house. suddenly all going out in Burqas. people know each other and always can wonder where this group came from? and what about the weapons? again it cant escape the locals that easily. its not a 10 million people metropolis is it? people mostly know each other by name and an outsider is quickly made out.
I am not bothering to contest the last bit of the terrorist attack. by the time they had burkas on and they were on their way to the target, it was too late already. like you said, at that time having the best American weapons was no guarantee to stop the terrorist act. the Americans would have happily killed more Afghan civilians trying to "prevent" that attack.
do you see? now you find yourself having to explain that the reason the terrorist were able to attack that hotel was that it was outside Kabul in an isolated spot, harder to defend and all.
yet the occupation forces day and night blame Pakistan for not doing enough to stop the Taliban crossing through hundreds of miles long border.
by the way, be fair now.. you said you are sad about the attack on the civilians by the Taliban
do some counting and tell me who has killed more civilians? the occupation forces or the Taliban?
I wonder if this NATO commander thought before he made this allegation? that moron chose to blame haqani network
but this moron doesnt realise that it means he is actually saying that haqqanis came all the way from waziristan to Kandhar and then all the way to Kabul? calling him a mornon is an insult to the word moron because I think they have a ready made statement for all their failures and just copy paste it.
finally
I pray for you safety and the safety of your family and friends and I pray for the safety of all the Afghans who want to live a peaceful and dignified life as a free Afghan.
Amen
