“Mr. Speaker, an article today by Andrew McCarthy that I want to read in part: Meanwhile, back in Afghanistan . . . Bill Roggio reports that jihadists have killed four American soldiers. Three were killed in a suicide bombing in Kabul and the Taliban have claimed responsibility. A fourth was killed in a so-called ``green-on-blue'' assassination. He was an American there to train ``moderate Islamist allies'' at a military base in western Afghanistan, and one of these Afghans shot him dead and wounded two others before finally being killed. It was the fourth green-on-blue attack this year.

We don't need to be helping the so- called moderate jihadists. And with that, I will insert the full article into the Record.
