His term as the United Nations’ official envoy to Afghanistan is up in March, and in his last address to the world body Kai Eide didn’t sound especially optimistic about the state of the country.

Have you noticed that Western diplomats and leaders always want situations elsewhere to be “manageable”? What they really mean is “management by us”.

only one that has attacked the US, the USS Liberty affair, was

similar, different president. Perhaps Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Palestine and a few others need the assistance of the AIPAC PR

“Bugsplat” is the metaphor used by CIA and Pentagon motherfuckers to estimate the number of children who are blown to pieces with our approval and tax dollars. It should be the first question asked of every single U.S. lowlife scumbag politician and journalist when they speak to every single worthless politician in this country. We kill babies and we do it so well that we estimate the number of children that we blow to pieces to protect our precious capitalist lives. Proud?

If you don’t bring these NATO murderers to justice, then you should that YOU will end up in the Hague, hypocritical insensate!
