Today elitist Nancy Pelosi has thrown Afghan President Karzi into the meat grinder. Besides this, back in October Obama opened up his bottomless checkbook to the Taliban. Also stating that in the future, Taliban members will be allowed into the Afghan government. Is it clear whose side the left is on?

Pelosi calls Afghan Karzai "unworthy partner"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai is an "unworthy partner" who does not deserve a big boost either in U.S. troops or civilian aid, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

Pelosi is generally a dimwit, and I seriously doubt her pronouncements were made out of concern for the troops or the overall mission in Afghanistan, but she may well be right this time.

Of course not. Do you like crooked-to-their-core politicians who lead to more U.S. troop deaths, not less?

of course you do realize that all our other “allies” in the region are vaunted paragons of tranparent and clean govt.

The Pakistanis.
The Saudis.
The Egyptians.
The Jordanians.
The UAEmirates.
Qatar
Bahrein

Poor Karzai, thrown under the proverbial bus.

And US Congress telling others they are corrupt, oh, my sides!

Thank God I was born in the good ol' United States.

Now all we have to do is rescue it from the likes of Pelosi.

Aren’t these the same people who say there is $500,000,000 of waste fraud and abuse in Medicare? Isn’t she in the party of Rod Blagojevich, William Jefferson, and Charlie Rangel? Perhaps they should be removing the log from their own eye.

It is almost amusing that the left always find America’s friends to be corrupt devils, while its enemies are angels.

What the hell does she know? Congressional and Chicago politics make Karzai’s government look like Boy Scouts according to Spec Ops Marines who served in A-stan.

CIA director Leon Panetta is in Pakistan, the jihadists would love to hit him, and I am wondering whether Obama sent Panetta over to Pakistan to get rid of him. What could Panetta possibly gain?

The nuclear arms of Pakistan may soon be in the hands of jihadists politicians, if the current Paki government regime falls to extremists, who BTW control the Paki Intel services.

Political grandstanding has a price, and Panetta is about to pay, and pay dearly, maybe with his very life.Its far too dangerous for anything but a very quiet,quick visit by someone of Panetta’s stature.

This visit is likely about the Karzai reach around plan.Karzai is in danger of heading into the Russian sphere of influence because of Obama’s machinations.Karzai is not a manipulatable political commodity.This is why there has been no announcement on increased troops for Afghanistan, Karzai wnats to kill the enemy and obtain victory. Obama does not. Obama wants a liberal socialist war, ,and is having a hissy fit because he can’t have one.

Pelosi has a bone in her teeth. Karzai ia an Afghani patriot. And it is guaranteed that he doesn’t give a crap about what Pelosi or Obama wants.He will turn to the Russians for help if he must. And they are ready to give it.

Putin scores again on Obama. Thats Putin 4 Obama “Zero”.
The Russians are running rings around Obama in Afghanistan, Iran, Europe and the Baltic.What have the Russians scored on?

1) Initial diplomatic overtures to Russians rebuffed, with no reciprocal tactics from Obama
2) Russian Refusal to apply sanctions on Iran for nuclear plans
3) Got a missile stand down in Poland from Obama, nothing in return etc.
4) Russia brings Karzai closer and wait for Obama failure in Afghanistan,offering choppers to Karzai, for free.

Pelosi has the Russians laughing in the Borsht.So has Obama.
