It Has Begun… Afghan President Questions If US Is Reliable Partner

As President Obama waffles and dithers…
President Karzai questioned if the US is a reliable partner today on CNN.
The Age reported:
Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai questioned the reliability of the United States as a partner Sunday, as he fought off criticism of his government’s legitimacy following fraud-marred elections.
Karzai’s main challenger, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah, warned in an interview with CNN that the US strategy will not succeed without a credible partner in Kabul, blaming Karzai for deteriorating conditions.
But underscoring the political headache that Washington faces if Karzai wins a run-off against Abdullah next month, Karzai pointed the finger at the United States in a separate, pre-recorded CNN interview.
“Is the United States a reliable partner with Afghanistan? Is the West a reliable partner with Afghanistan?” Karzai asked. “Have we received the commitments that we were given? Have we been treated like a partner?”
With Obama in charge, we’re all sort of wondering the same thing, President Karzai.
It’s just too bad you aren’t the head of a hostile regime.
They’re the ones who get the attention from this administration.

As an ashamed American, I am forced to say, since 2009, no, we are not.

Let us not forget incompetent.
Sasja commented:
Obama just has too much to do to worry about Afghanistan. He had all those fundraisers to attend and today he had to play at playing golf.

Questioning the reliability of the Marxist presumptive dictator of the formerly-most-powerful-nation-on-Earth by a semi-lunatic in charge of a crap-hole of a country with a cigar box of new-kew-lahr weapons in the cupboard in regards to a known full-on lunatic who wants the top job in that same crap-hole of a country.
Ya gotta love it.
I wonder if Karzai would be saying this about Teh Eeeevil Booooooooooosh, with whom he knew EXACTLY which way was up ?

I say send the Hillary Monster into Pakistan capital, no guards, and scantly dressed and wearing an anti-Muslim T-shirt. That should do it!
Pat the First commented:
I don’t blame Karzai. He has pretty much put his life on the line to democracize Afghanistan. I just read his story. The Taliban assassinated his father because of Karzai’s opposition to them. He had to leave to protect his wife.
B.O.’s “dithering” is the same thing as what Carter did with Iran. Now we have the Islamic Radicals to deal with in Iran because of Carter’s lack of action.
Something has to be done about controlling B.O. before he destroys OUR country.

Robert commented:
The Afghans and our miltary forces along with NATO and the rest, are being held hostage to Obama’s domestic political concerns. Obama has had a full year to evaluate the situation in Afghanistan.
He is stalling, waiting to see the outcome of the health care follies they are trying to foist upon the American public.
S. Wolf commented:
Krazyai wants a lot more tribute from the infidels.

From No Quarter blog (RRRAmy):
“Obama has gone to TWENTY-THREE fundraisers. In the first twenty, he has raised $20 million for the DNC coffers. That’s just jake.
Want to guess how many Bush did in the same amount of time? Six. I said, SIX. And Bush raised $48 million from his six, and he did none after the attacks on September 11th.”
Stephen commented:
He who fails to learn from history is doomed to repeat it. The left has the run with your tails between your legs concept in mind. Remember when the US made the French proud and ran full speed out of Vietnam? Over 2,500,000 civilians were killed in the following years as a result. Indeed the Pol Pot regime was the result of the power vacuum created by the US stabbing the South Vietnamese in the back.
The real accomplishment of the hippies–2,500,000 civilians dead in less than a decade. And now they seek to repeat that

While lives are on the line. Mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, on and on. These lives matter very much. People love to say ..”but they signed up for this”.
Does this mean their lives are any less invaluable? Should their lives especially be handled with the utmost care?
Should not our president be resolute when sending people into harms way?
JPK commented:
With Dems in charge? Ya think Karzai musta run into a former South Vietnamese Army general or something?
Solaratov commented:
“But underscoring the political headache that Washington faces if Karzai wins a run-off against Abdullah next month, Karzai pointed the finger at the United States… ”
.
So in other words, “president” pantywaist will consider the runoff election legitimate *only* if Karzai loses?
And if Karzai wins – what then? Another runoff so that obama gets his way? (Abdullah must be one of obama’s type, for barry to want him in so badly.)
Obama would be well-advised to tend to America’s business and decide whether to prosecute the war vigorously or get out entirely.
This is only the second election in the entire history of Afghanistan. That it’s even being held at all (and that women are allowed to vote) is momentous.
And obie shouldn’t worry unduly about a bit of ballot-box stuffing. It is, after all, the Chicago way.

White House Circus of Follies Afg/Pak Field Report:
Bozo has three options. Outlined by experts a while ago.
(1) Escape, leave some vacuums and watch bodies pile up as Tali/quaeda rushes in and creates the new breeding ground terrorism virus — Bozo gets acclaim from radical leftists — Bush’s fault/ Bozo courage.
(2) Dither, Lindon B. Johnson approach. Hope the media covers up the escalating body count. Still Bush’s fault.
(3) Increase the troops and win the war, and take glory of ridding radical Islamists from this region of the world. Obama glory, but Leftist radicals will say Bozo intervened and is stuck with colonization of western ideas on Middle Eastern territories.
Ultimate course: The buck stops with the Bozo. The Bozo needs to make the decision ‘lose, dither or win! No one else.
My thoughts? Bozo is not sleeping well at this time; he needs a lot of vacation and fun things which we are seeing because he had kept blaming the Republicans for their tough decisions — now he has those tough decisions — and he cannot escape the paradox.
Ted commented:
The US was reliable when it was yer pardner. You’ll have to ask Moscow for the answer now.
ray commented:
We have a combination of the worst policies of the 70′s, Nixonion economics with Carteresque foreign policy.
Pat the First commented:
My cousin’s son is in Afghanistan right now (Marine Security Forces). I am not appreciating B.O.’s “dithering”. When he joined, he and his parents expected support from DC. Nothing better to happen to him because B.O. can’t get his act together.
KR commented:
People love to say ..”but they signed up for this”.
Obama “signed up” for his current job too, yet he is avoiding the hard work and the responsibility that goes with it.
Sasja commented:
Bozo hasn’t made up his mind because his handlers are arguing about which decision to make before they can tell that clown in the WH what to do.
Pat the First, we will pray for his safe return.
God bless and watch over our troops.
Sandy commented:
I guess Obama doesn’t want to be Jimmy Carter who was consumed by the Hostage Crisis. But it would be nice to see him sit at his desk in the Oval Office for a change.
His ad for the Dem candidate for Gov of Va was priceless. You voted for me last year now vote for me again when you vote for Gov of Va.

Bingo, and what a nightmare for us.

john kerry predicted a few hundred vietnamese
would die or have to be relocated with a viet
cong takeover [while the rest would adjust]. chris dodd talked about the gift of peace the
cambodians would receive………not exactly spot on calls and these guys are still part of the cabal to dictate the destiny of afghanistan.

0bama:
Let me be clear. As President I will reliably dither on important military matters.
Besides, what is the hurry? I am going to give the Troops 0bamacare. They will be de-equipted and dehydrated to death. My limousine is running and I have a meeting with SEIU. Good day.
snewb commented:
Pelosi told Obama that if he sends 40,000 more troops before the vote on Obamacare, that it won’t pass the house.
Templari Ordum commented:
Let us remind him that without us, he will be swinging from a bridge like what happened to the Soviet puppet in ’90. Moreover, the only provisions we should assure the Afghans of are ones dropped by B-2′s that annihilate whole regions. If the muslim wants not progress and “democracy,” then give him the war he so desires–only, let it be they who do most of the dying.
Pat the First commented:
Templari, the problem isn’t Karzai. It is B.O. and his “dithering”. This is exactly what happened between Cahtah and Iran in the 1970s. His “dithering” killed people trying to rescue the hostages held for 444 days.

It Has Always Been The Soldier
It is the soldier,
not the President who gives us democracy.
It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes care of us.
It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.
It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus [community] Organizer who
has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.
~ Father Dennis O’Brien, US Marine Corp. Chaplain
God Bless America!
God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
lives on the line to protect us ALL from terrorism!

Jo, (#6)
I don’t know whether you’re male or female, but this sexist comment is an indicator your ignorance. You sound like someone who totally belongs in with the woman-hating radical Muslims. Why don’t you do us non-neanderthals a favor, and move to that part of the world, to commune with your like-minded misogynists.
