Petraeus, Clinton Criticize Karzai’s Criticism of StrategyPosted on Nov 15, 2010
Hamid Karzai is acting up. The Afghan president, who rankled top U.S. brass earlier this year with hints at split loyalties, has again come out with some fightin’ words against the American war effort in his country. Karzai’s latest statements, this time to the Washington Post, didn’t sit well with either Gen. David Petraeus or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday, as the BBC explains below.

What part of the strategy to make boat loads of money for the MIC does Karzai not undertand.

Well, maybe the CIA will just have to arrange for Karzai’s assassination, like Diem in Vietnam, so he can be replaced by a better representative of American “democracy” in Afghanistan.
This game of imperialist war has been going on for so long, there are no fresh ideas, only re-runs. “I Love Lucy” was a much better series.

first Karzai threatens to kick out Black Water - widely accused of staging numerous flase
flag black ops both in Afghanistan and Pakistan - then he backs down
now he asks that highly inaccurate night raids - virtually terrorism alla mano blanco - be
curtailed and already he’s backing down
suggesting he be assassinated seems more of a prediction - the Vietnam parallel is
commonly cited - Ngo Dinh Diem’s assassination certainly weighs heavily on him daily
as for “dealing with the stinking taliban” - hell, the CIA created them and copious
Report thisevidence suggests they support them to this day - the goal is not to ‘win’ this war, just
to keep the bloody thing going forever - get a clue!
