What did Karzai say?
Wolf was trying to pit he and Pervez Musharraf, as having "fights"...Karzai said NO.
Wolf said that Afghanistan is falling apart re: the uproar over that accident weeks ago....Karzai said NO.
Wolf was quoting a Newsweek article talking about no electricity, no commerce, blah, blah.
Karzai said that Newsweek comes over for ONE DAY, and writes a negative article...and it is wrong.
Wolf says that Bin Ladin, Zawahiri, and Mullah Omar are in Afghanistan...and Karzai said they most definitely are NOT in Afghanistan.
Karzai DID say that they need a new tactic in the WOT..he said that these terrorists, (he considers al-Queda AND the Taliban, terrorists)..recruit from the young people that have lived hard..and think they have no future, yada, yada.
Karzai says that he wants the Coalition to go after these camps/schools, that are taking these boys in and training them...rather than just waiting for the terrorists to attack and then killing them.
I am not saying whether that is not being done or not.,..just saying what I can remember...it was a LONG interview....but, basically, Wolfie was trying to cause problems between the USA and Afghanistan...and Pakistan and Afghanistan...and Karzai didn't BITE...
Karzai is a pretty savvy guy...and no doubt has seen the way the MEDIA and the Congress works re: propaganda and rhetoric...and is NOT going to act like a bumpkin when being interviewed by the likes of Wolf Blitzer.
