ROS sends us a link to the UK’s Telegraph<\/a> which reports on a interview with the Taliban’s spokesman, Hamid Karzai, who is also president of Afghanistan. In the interview, Karzai said that he hasn’t spoken to President for more than seven months;<\/p>\n

Mr Karzai said that he “saw no good” in the American presence in his country. <\/p>\n

“They did not work for me, they worked against me,” he said, and referred to the Taliban in his interview with The Sunday Times as “brothers” and the Americans as “rivals”. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, no good in the America presence, well, other than the fact that Karzai owes his position to Americans, not to mention the schools, the hospitals and roads we’ve built, the number of girls who get to go to school and get jobs, well, when they’re not being attacked by the Taliban remnants in the country and cowering in their homes when the Taliban is near. And then when they go to market, they have to worry about attacks by the Taliban.<\/p>\n

But [Karzai] added: “In general the US-led Nato mission in terms of bringing security has not been successful, particularly in Helmand.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, the mission in Afghanistan required political leadership, and there was none from Karzai. This administration bent over backwards, at the cost of American lives to provide an environment in which Karzai could lead his country out of the Dark Ages, instead, he chose to line his own pockets.<\/p>\n

So screw him and his country. If there is even one American military member in that country this morning, we’re failing the troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
