Speaking to a US Congressional Delegation today, Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned President Obama’s July 2011 drawdown date, claiming that the date was boosting the morale of the Taliban.
Condemnation of the date comes quite regularly from the Karzai government, though of course President Obama himself disavowed the date months ago. After using the date to sell the escalation to the American public in December, Obama insisted in June that the date would only be the “beginning of a transition phase.”
Karzai is also said to have praised the “outstanding progress” in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, but insisted that there had been no progress in the war itself. He pushed for the US to “force Pakistan to stop supporting the Taliban.”
Afghan National Security Adviser Spanta reiterated this point, insisting that the calls to fight corruption were “a bad joke” and that the “central issue is international jihadis” and not the fact that Afghanistan is the most corrupt nation on the planet.
I totally agree with Hamid Karzai….Washington needs to decide if we're with the Afghan people, or with the terrorist sponsoring, nuclear arms proliferating state of Pakistan. Beating on Karzai has become a daily sport for the current US Administration by way of their Peons in the media and with no proof to date. If our leaders wish to concede defeat in Afghanistan, then they'll need to say it, rather than scapegoating Karzai and his country for our own impotence. If you ask me, I 'd say we ought to wage war against all terrorist states, including Pakistan and Iran to name a few.
He was literally brought into the country by the CIA and private "contractors" to rule over Kabul. Is it any surprise he would want to see the occupiers and invaders leave? Without them he would be gone in one week, Patriotic forces of Afghanistan would make sure of that. Even today he is guarded by the white men mercenaries and not by the so called Afghanistan Security Forces.
