Well, if that's how he feels I say fuck 'em all, no more trying to fight this with our hands around our balls. Pull the troops out and let the birds fly. And if a few fall a bit short to the west, so much the better.

Glass the ingrateful cocksucking goatfucker and his country.

Washington Post:

As U.S. assesses Afghan war, Karzai a question mark

KABUL - Afghan President Hamid Karzai had heard enough.

For more than an hour, Gen. David H. Petraeus, U.S. Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry and other top Western officials in Kabul urged Karzai to delay implementing a ban on private security firms. Reconstruction projects worth billions of dollars would have to be shuttered, they maintained, if foreign guards were evicted.

Sitting at the head of a glass-topped, U-shaped table in his conference room, Karzai refused to budge, according to two people with direct knowledge of the late October meeting. He insisted that Afghan police and soldiers could protect the reconstruction workers, and he dismissed pleas for a delay.

As he spoke, he grew agitated, then enraged. He told them that he now has three "main enemies" - the Taliban, the United States and the international community.

"If I had to choose sides today, I'd choose the Taliban," he fumed.

After a few more parting shots, he got up and walked out of the wood-paneled room.

The riposte, and the broader fight over private security contractors, prompted deep alarm among senior U.S. officials in Kabul and Washington. The Obama administration had been trying for the better part of a year to cast aside earlier disputes and make nice with Karzai. But it clearly was not working. Eikenberry told colleagues at the embassy that the relationship had hit its lowest point in years.

As President Obama and his national security team assess the war this week, a central element of the discussion will be their difficulties in building a partnership with Karzai. Despite a concerted effort by top diplomats and commanders, the United States has been unable to achieve more than ephemeral bonhomie with the Afghan leader.

"Our relationship with him has become so tortured," said a senior administration official. "We've gone from one crisis every three months to one crisis a month."

There is near-universal agreement among top U.S. officials involved in Afghanistan that Karzai's behavior and leadership have a direct bearing on the outcome of the multinational counterinsurgency mission. But they remain divided about how to improve their ties with him, and whether it is even possible.

Skeptics of the strategy contend his actions, particularly in the six months since the Obama administration started to embrace him as a partner, demonstrate that he cannot be rehabilitated. As a consequence, they maintain that the overall U.S. mission should be scaled back because it is impossible to conduct a counterinsurgency campaign without a steadfast ally in Kabul's presidential palace.

Christine said...

Ok, spit, cough..... Pulling from the koolaid gang here,

GET OUT NOW!!!!

Always On Watch said...

Yep.

Karzai has been giving off the wrong vibes for a long time now.

All those fallen and wounded American soldiers. And for what?

Midnight Rider,

Truth is, I knew he wasn't really our friend, even before this.

The pull of the ummah is powerful and supersedes any Westernization.

My thoughts exactly.

There's always a "kill list" in the President's desk. Karzai should be on it. Not that it would do any good with his muslim pal in office, but just for future reference.

I second MR and Christine: GET OUT NOW and glass the bastards. Once we leave, the life of any decent human being left there will hardly be worth living anyway, and as horrible as that is, it's immoral to sacrifice ourselves to them. 'Nam is starting to look like a rational endeavor compared to what's gone on in Iraq and Afghanistan.


AOW, was it you who recently had computer trouble? I swear I now have a PTSD trigger response to having to call Verizon for help. If I can get to the "screen-sharing" stage with the tech usually something useful can be accomplished, but before that they inevitably stick me on the phone with someone in Malaysia whose English is larded with accent yammering techie questions at me, and this hideous sort of Monty Python conversation ensues. That was my day from about 3:30 to 4:30 pm today and it still isn't right, they have to send a tech out tomorrow. If that works out right, then all I have to do is learn how to use Google Chrome and IE alternately and keep the goddam "family protection" feature switched off.

I think I'll go cry now, and save time later.

Too bad we have a ban on assassinations.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

Even if we did not, I'm not sure it would do any good unless we could also somehow install someone else as our puppet without anyone else finding out about that, as well as the fact that we killed Karzai, and once we installed our dictator we wouldn't have a one hundred percent guarantee he'd do what we wanted him to do.

Wait, let's not be hasty guys - besides has anyone even bothered to try bowing to Krazi yet, or perhaps, you know, kissing his ring or something? Have we got anyone in charge highly skilled at bowing? I bet a totally excellent bow right about now would really do the trick..

Then we could get back to throwing away perfectly good infidel lives to prop up a sharia SHITHOLE.

RRA,
Don't get me started on Verizon! I had serious connection issues, finally resolved by installing FIOS. The installation took several visits from various incompetent techs.

My computer issues are resolved now. I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop -- courtesy of a homeschool dad/tech. Warren and I resolved the issues with my desktop.

Technology problems are the worst!

revereridesagain said...

I'll ask whoever shows up today about FIOS, unless they can get this connection problem solved on this visit. Actually, I've never had that problem before so maybe it won't be a big deal.

Or maybe I should just start crying now, to save time.

revereridesagain said...

So anyway, the tech was here for 3, count 'em, 3 hours this morning and finally had to replace my phone line in the attic. However he was a nice guy and a good tech and kept at it until it was fixed. So I've stopped crying -- for now!

Anonymous,
You're right, if Obama would go over and bow to him, and maybe, if Michelle could help him eat healthy, maybe then he would like us.

Good thinking.
