Seems the Afghan police turn on the Americans and kill them in cold blood the first chance they get.

Good Heavens, it must be one of the signs of the Apocalypse, but I actually agree with Ima!
We need to chop off ALL funds going into that rat-hole, and pull out now!
Let’s see how long Karzi can cling to power on his own!

None of this should be surprising if you know even the bare minimum about Afghan culture and history.

add one more bubble Steve “…but don’t stop sending me more money!”

Eisenhower said to beware of the military industrial complex.
George Orwell in 1984 warned of a foggy notion of which side was which.
Karzai is saying the same, which, ironically in his case is merely projection. A puppet of Americans on the one hand and on the other hand sympathetic to some flavor or other of Islamic extremism.
What a mess.
-Cripple their ability to make war with us.
Obliterate what nation they have.
Tail hook onto an aircraft carrier and say “Mission Accomplished”.
Tell them don’t even look like they’ll try it again or we’ll break things again.
LEAVE.
Forget nation building.
There is no nation to build.

Too bad that war criminals bush and cheney didn’t cut and run after failing to get bin Laden at Tora Bora.

Karzai is as corrupt as they come, then again he was a BFF of war criminals bush and cheney. We should have left Afghanistan long before Obama came into office.

Why didn’t obama cut and run on his first day ?

It is a desperate attempt by Karzai – who was hand picked by Western powers at a conference in Bonn, Germany – to claim legitimacy in the eyes of the Afghan people by lumping the Americans and Taliban together.
Of course, he would still be a refugee in Pakistan or working as a waiter in one his brother’s restaurants in the States if it wasn’t for the US.
He has spent the last 11 years robbing the US tax payers and Afghan people blind, as he has stuffed his and his relatives pockets with US aid.

Because the Al Qaeda were headquartered there and a previous administration said they were not worried about binLaden nor the Taliban. His Mission had been accomplished.

Holy Crap, today I can agree with Benson (Steve that is). What is the world coming to? This one is actually a good current events cartoon.
