 Has Karzai Lost Faith?Posted on Jun 12, 2010
Rumors are swirling in Afghanistan that the country’s president, Hamid Karzai, has lost faith in the ability of the West to defeat the Taliban, and some are even accusing Karzai of trying to strike his own deal with the Taliban and archrival Pakistan. The rumors follow a dramatic meeting with Karzai at which his intelligence chief and interior secretary resigned after the president shrugged off evidence that the Taliban was behind a rocket attack on a peace conference earlier this month. —JCL

Troop withdrawal will occur July 2011 by plan. One year. Karzai walks the fence, at the very least, with his allegiance between the U.S. and the Taliban. Personally, I believe he sells out the U.S. policy with eye toward being the savior and controller of his country when the U.S. leaves. Take him out of the picture now, one way or the other, and watch the results and direction for a year. Complaints have always been that the U.S. won’t finish what they start. That they fold and go away. Why not give this a different direction while we are there. Karzai is leader of his country, his brother works with the Taliban, conflict of interests here. Another brothers act, the Castros, Husseins, & Bush family. Their only interest laid in the lining of their pockets and world history. Screw the country they represented and its people. Taking one out of power now could change much, or it could leave things the same. Either way, we’re out in a year.

Karzai is an American stooge and is seen as such by the Afghan people.
Until the U.S. pulls stakes and withdraws and the Afghan people are allowed to vote the government of their choice, will peace ever come to that region.

Karzai—realizes after 9 to 10 years of fighting in his country—the turmoil is still the same—the atmosphere surrounding his country is still the same—
After Obama made an unannounced visit a few weeks ago to his country, Karzai got mad—went to the Taliban and said: “If you do not want the surge in this region to clean up this area—I WON’T ALLOW IT! Now Gates—and all the Commanders- lead our troops into a region in which months of preparation to set explosives—to plan their attacks so more AMERICAN TROOPS CAN BE KILLED! So—-who has really lost it? I said—our side—and their side!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME! IT IS A MUST!
TUESDAY June 8th-2010 a 7 YEAR OLD BOY WAS HUNG BECAUSE SOMEONE THOUGHT HE HAD TIPPED OFF THE TROOPS WERE AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE WAS—HUNG HIM—NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
LET CONGRESS KNOW—BRING OUR TROOPS HOME—END THIS MESS—Karzai REALIZES WE AREN’T MAKING ANY GROUND IN THIS WAR—NOT BECAUSE AMERICANS HAVEN’T TRIED—IT IS BECAUSE OF THE TALIBAN—-
