You can bet that when the last American leaves, Karzai will be right behind him. I see a “pathway to U.S. citizenship” gig in Karzai’s future.

I have heard horror stories about the torture used against Americans in Afghanistan but you won’t hear it in the MSM.

If it was “Special Forces” doesn’t that mean the US Army?

Wait, let me understand this:

I would guess Switzerland. The mountains will remind him of home, he'll be close to his money, and he can still complain about America.
