Harleyman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I am far less perturbed by the comments of US officials than I am by the statements of Karzai and his cronies. Allies have a tendency to criticise each other's contributions to a war effort (cf. WW2, when such criticisms were rife. Look up for example the scathing comments of Generals Stillwell and Patton on the British armed forces). What is more troubling is that there seems to be no appreciation at all on the Afghan side for the sacrifices British forces have made. How different this is to, for example, the warm appreciation British troops received in France, Belgium and (especially) Holland at the end of WW2 I dont think Karzai voces the opinions of Afgans in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 True, Afghans in general just want the foreign forces to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I reckon both armies would be bertter off leaving. Karzai is a corrupt double dealing crook. Plays one side against the other, takes money from the Iranians who supply weapons to the Taleban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounce Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Dont understand why Karzey is saying this. I mean if he was any good at his job he would be able to sort his own country out, without our help It's not Karzais country the fool was flown into the country from the USA to be installed as a puppet leader after the 2001 invasion. He needs the Americans there to keep him in power otherwise he wouldn't last a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Let's break it down into chunks There you go. What's so complicated about understanding a statement that basically says. Karzai is not to be trusted. A leader who makes secret deals with the Taleban and accepts money from the Iranians who are funding the Taleban with whom he is supposed to be fighting with the support of coalition troops. What's the sense continuing a war in a country with a leader like that? Cant make it any simpler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
