'The Afghan president has ordered US special forces to leave Wardak province within two weeks over allegations of disappearances and torture.

The measures were being taken due to the actions of Afghans considered to be part of US special forces, said a spokesman for Hamid Karzai.

The strategically significant, central province of Wardak has been the recent focus of counter-insurgency operations.

A US spokesman said it took all allegations of misconduct seriously.'

"Our forces ask for air support from foreigners and children get killed in an air strike," he said.

A preliminary investigation also blamed them for beheading a university student in the province.

Yep. Sounds like something the infidel Americans would do.

I suppose Karzai is trying to curry favor before the inevitable Talbian recapture of Kabul. Despite his best attempts to suck up to the Taliban, he most likely will share the same fate of Najibullah.

None of it is.

If I were emperor I would withdraw all troops from the mideast (and Africa) and put so much defensive steel in the water off Israel that you could walk from Cairo to Ankara without getting your feet wet.

Karzai and his demons ...

Yes, it’s time to leave. Nothing but corruption and evil... an eternal hand stuck out demanding bribes....

The best Karzai can hope for is either the last plane out of Kabul airport to Switzerland (so he can visit his money), or an Islamic re-education camp — if there is such a thing. My guess is that he gets his throat cut if he misses that last plane.

VX or Sarin would be a better choice.

I for one was always against the war.

I said both those problems could have been solved by Two Thermonuclear Hydrogen Bombs.

But, no one ever listens to me.

Along with a ceremonial anal rape.

When the Afghans that are supposed to be the “good guys” are murdering our troops; our troops are supposed to stand back with their hands folded and allow it to happen.

If my finger were on the button, I would find a way to permanently obliterate the region’s ability to support any kind of agriculture, including Pakistan.

Time to GTFO of there. The ROE our soldiers are forced to operate under are suicidal and criminal.

Another Karzai extortion scheme I would bet. He cares not for what he portrays to care about. Only the money he can extort from the U.S. to line his pockets.
