The top US commander in occupied Afghanistan, Gen. Dunford, says that he is working on an effort to resolve Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s recent complaints about US troops, and doing so with a “sense of urgency.”
Karzai had criticized the US earlier this month, accusing them of “colluding” with the Taliban and demanding that the CIA stop kidnapping and torturing university students.
Exactly how the US hopes to resolve these complaints short of not kidnapping and torturing university students is unclear, and indeed the US seems madder about the complaints than the abuse.
Gen. Dunford initially responded to Karzai’s complaints by putting the military “on alert,” and Sen. Carl Levin (D – MI) today blasted Karzai, saying his comments were making victory “more problematic” and warning it might discourage America from continuing the occupation if Karzai kept saying such things.
Karzai and the pack of thieves looting Afghanistan seem pretty sure the money will keep poring into their their off shore accounts. Making a few off-hand comments to lull the plebs into thinking he cares about them is part of the game after all.
we have already lost in Afganistan, just like we lost in Iraq, and Vietnam, We haven't won a war since WW2, unless you count Grenada and Panama. Korea? Chinese fought to a draw without an effective air force or navy, and poorly trained and equipped army.
