Talk about reaching, and the Afghan lawmaker that was quoted is not part of the Obama regime.
The corruption in that country is endemic and extends into every part of life ~ it's not just a handful of irregular contracts here and there. Telling Karzai to clean up the corruption is a declaration of war against that culture and it's biological survival.
Just the way it is.
Obama knows these things, and some day we will have a government willing to direct Chicago to clean up its act, and the response will be the same ~ and we'll simply have to nuke Chicago!
