The list even includes the recent bomb and gun assault on a Lebanese restaurant in Kabul, one of the bloodiest acts targeting the international community in Afghanistan, the official said. The attack, which left 21 people dead, including three Americans, was almost universally attributed to the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>But Karzai believes it was one of many incidents that may have been planned by Americans to weaken him and foment instability in Afghanistan, according to the senior palace official, who is sympathetic to the president\u2019s view and spoke on the condition of anonymity. He acknowledged that his government had no concrete evidence of U.S. involvement and that the American role had not been formally confirmed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On Law and Order, they&#8217;d be asking Karzai what possible motive could support those claims. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Senior Afghan officials have provided no evidence of a U.S. role in the attacks on the list, which include an assault on a Justice Ministry building in Kabul and another on a courthouse in western Farah province that left more than 50 people dead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, the proof that we&#8217;re not behind those attacks is the fact that Karzai is still wasting oxygen. If this administration isn&#8217;t willing to turn Karzai to dust, they need to pull the troops out yesterday and let the little clown fend for himself. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, you knew it was only a matter of time.
