After meeting with the Democratic presidential candidate inside the US base in Jalalabad, Afghan warlord turned provincial governor Gul Agha Sherzai told reporters, "Obama promised us that if he becomes a president in the future, he will support and help Afghanistan not only in its security sector but also in reconstruction, development and economic sector."

Translation: Obama is not listening. He is making commitments.

Obama: “Hey Sherzai - there’s time for those questions later. Watch this jumpshot.”

Sherzai likes little boys. It would be interesting to know how he REALLY perceives Obama.

The point to be made here is that the liberal intelligentsia is turning against the Afghanistan fight in the same way that they did the war in Iraq. This was entirely predictable from their past behavior. They claim they will fight for the U.S., but they won’t.
