WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2012 – In an interview on the CBS program \”60 Minutes\” last night, the commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan said he takes his mission personally and is angered by insider attacks by Afghan security forces and militants wearing Afghan uniforms

\”I\’m mad as hell about them, to be honest with you,\” Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, told CBS correspondent Lara Logan. \”We\’re going to get after this. It reverberates everywhere across the United States. We\’re willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign, but we\’re not willing to be murdered for it.\”
