This is so surreal, but then what isn't in Afghanistan?

Just yesterday, Karzai admitted to getting "bags of cash" on a regular basis from Iran.

"President Hamid Karzai acknowledged on Monday that he regularly receives bags of cash from the Iranian government in payments amounting to millions of dollars, as evidence mounted of a worsening rift between his government and its American and NATO supporters."

“They do give us bags of money — yes, yes, it is done,” Mr. Karzai said, responding to questions about a report in The New York Times on Sunday that Iran sends regular cash payments to his chief of staff, Umar Daudzai. “We are grateful to the Iranians for this.”

“Patriotism has a price,” he said."

This was in nearly the same breath as his criticism of the US for what he said was funding of private security companies to *essentially* murder Afghans.

"President Hamid Karzai accused the United States on Monday of exporting killing to Afghanistan by giving contracts to private security companies. It was the latest chapter of a bitter battle between the president and his allies in the war against the Taliban that has taken on an increasingly anti-Western tone."

I'm no fan of these private militia (wonder how many times they protected him?) and I'm glad he wants to hold onto the Dec 17th deadline for removing them, but to be saying these things together??? Seriously? It's like a murder suspect admitting murder and no one taking any action... I guess it's still a little early... if Big O. doesn't do something soooooon.... like pulling the f*ck out... $3.5 billion a WEEK... when we could have just sent him a couple million.

"On Sunday, Mr. Karzai held a volatile meeting with the NATO commander, Gen. David H. Petraeus, as well as other senior Afghan and Western officials to discuss the private security firms.

>>> Mr. Karzai stormed out of the session, saying that he did not need the West’s help, according to people knowledgeable about the confrontation." <<<

Bingo! We out!

What a f*cking clown:

"In his news conference, Mr. Karzai also attacked The Times for publishing the report about Iranian payments, even as he confirmed receiving such payments. He urged the Afghan news media to “defame The New York Times as they defame us.”

It's like reading The Onion...

And this surprises anyone at all, given our record of backing chumps who eventually turn on us when we oh so predictably start backstabbing them ?

Hell, Saddam, Noriega, so many others...

There's a merit to leaving well the hell alone, and it's long past time we learned it.

Our perception of borders is different from other people's. In Iran's eyes, we've already invaded, because we're killing Persians, on both sides. They're just clever about getting "officially" involved. They backed Maliki into office, so both sides will claim victory when we leave Iraq...

Boy is this likely. Though I like the added touch to detail. I mean, it was an easy call until you brought in the crane.
