Yet another rub of the Obama Administration’s July 2011 handover strategy, according to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is that the military may decide to bypass the Karzai government entirely and hand over control to assorted regions of the country to preferred local leaders.
The comments seem to be in stark contrast to President Obama’s Tuesday speech, in which he defended President Hamid Karzai’s legitimacy and vowed US backing for the national government.
It is clear, however, that the administration does not trust the corrupt Karzai government nearly as much as it claims to. Officials have repeatedly, but quietly, spoken of the administration’s intention to “bypass” Karzai as much as possible.
President Karzai spoke hopefully of the US prospect for beginning to withdraw from the nation in 2011. He may however find that by 2011 being the president of Afghanistan means next to nothing in terms of power.
EMERGENCY…!!!! Emergency…!!!! EMERGENCY…!!!! Leaders losing their minds…. Is there a doctor in the house….. Central Government being weakened…Calling Doctor William S Lind…Calling Dr Lind..
You don"t split a country because a corrupt leader ( Karzai ) , specialy when it is known he used to work for Unocal oil/gas pipe line company , just as Henry Kissinger … You just replace the leader .
But a corrupt leader will not interfere with the spliting of 'his' country , hence an easy job for US/Rothchilds .
When all failed including the US backed Taliban return to power before 2000 , now is time to divide and conquer .
Also , today , Russia understood the coming danger close to its borders besides loosing Europe from the oil/gas dependency ( Turkemistan / Unocal Co. signed pipe line agreement , last day ) , hence it will speed up the installation of the S-300 surface-to-air defences in Iran , kind of a surprise for the Purim day , February 28 , 2010 when Israel will attack Iran . This just to buy time for Iran to develope some nukes and become a Real danger to Israel ( which in turn will force USA to employ balistic missels that the Russian S-300 can not shut down , with the predictible consequences to Iran ) .
That attack will also be the best time for US to announce the resseting of prices and wages in USA , the New Recession , just as North Korea did last day .
