WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai is an "unworthy partner" who does not deserve a big boost either in U.S. troops or civilian aid, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Pelosi, a skeptic on sending more troops to Afghanistan, also said in an interview with National Public Radio aired on Friday that there was not strong support among her fellow Democrats in Congress for "any big ramp-up of troops" to oppose resurgent Taliban forces.
She told NPR she had asked fellow Democrats to give President Barack Obama room to decide his Afghan strategy, which is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Once Obama, also a Democrat, announces his decision, lawmakers would "not be shy" about responding, she said.
"The president of Afghanistan has proven to be an unworthy partner. We cannot fund a mission where we don't have a reliable partner and where whatever civilian investments we want to make, which are so necessary, will be diverted for a corrupt purpose," Pelosi told NPR News' Morning Edition.
"How can we ask the American people to pay a big price in lives and limbs and also in dollars if we don't have a connection to a reliable partner?"

Democrats always think that our allies are unworthy... but Hamas, Ahmadinejad and terrorists are worthy partners for negotiations.
Hmmm-I wonder if she knows that’s what we think of HER!!!
Ms. Pelosi is not a worthy partner for the American people.
Plus, she doesn’t give a rip about American troops.
The only troops she appreciates are the poor folk who pilot her private USAF jet back and forth from the Worst coast.
Not to worry, Nancy, I doubt that he finds you attractive either.
Just not as worthy as her partners at Acorn. ;-)
That is the heart of it.
Pelosi learned the phrase from her husband.
“Takes one to know one!”
great international diplomacy there
ARF
yet again the Dems show their lack of international experience
Nancy, I thought you already HAD a partner. Or are you just in it for the hilltop mansion?
It's not for Karzai, you flipping traitorous, socialist, brain-dead witch - it's for our troops.
Besides, you guys sent Biden over there to ensure the opponent back out, leaving Karzai to win. Was this why - so you could pull this ruse as a means to undermine our troops?
Her father’s worthy partners were Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanskey.
Karzi doesn’t meet Pelosi’s muster. After all she is The Queen of Kleptocracy.
My God this b!t@^ has b@!!$ the size of the globe!
Hey Nazi Pelousy -- We the People cannot fund a mission where we don't have a reliable partner and where whatever civilian investments we want to make, which are so necessary, will be diverted for a corrupt purpose by you, John al-Murthawi, William Jefferson, (DEMONRAT, LA) Charlie Rangel, Bawney Fwanks, Chris Dodd and countless others to numerous to mention, along with your cohorts in the SINate.
Starve the beast! Time for a tax revolt!
Here we go! Greasing the skids for Obama.
Just WoW!
Another knife in Karzai’s back.
They did the same to Maliki years ago, but we had a different President then.
In fact, in one book Maliki, after meeting Pelosi, Durbin etc in DC commented to an aide that he felt intense sympathy for Bush for having to deal with numbnuts like that.
