The Taliban claimed responsibility for both attacks on Friday in Helmand province an area of the south where insurgents have wielded their greatest influence. "The enemy who does not want to see Afghanistan have a strong security force, targets military trainers," Karzai said in a statement.

Such assaults are on the rise and have heightened mistrust between foreign forces. Most of the attacks have been carried out by Afghan police and soldiers or militants wearing their uniforms. There have been 26 such attacks so far this year, resulting in 34 deaths.

I Pledge The?.

A Beauty to see as she always Flys high.
Her colors they wave of the Red, White, and Blue.
The words she stands for, they forever ring True.

I lift my right hand and place on my chest, I say
the words loudly the way i know best.
I hear all the mumbles that surround my ears.
My eyes they swell up from wiping my tears.

Now place your right hand upon your chest.
Repeat these words, I Pleadge the Allegiance,
now what is the rest.

I now look around to what i should know.
Her beauty i remember but the
her words i forgot so.
Why does her Beauty
always fly high, Have we as Americans
forgot the reasons, "WHY"
