Could it be he’s made a deal with the Taliban?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I have to agree with Karzai.
It’s long time since we should’ve left this hell hole.

Yes.

He’s really made a deal with Obama. Reading Woodward’s book Obama’s Wars makes it clear that Bambi wants out of there starting swift drawdown in July 2011 to be able to run on “I got us out”. He does not care about winning or trying to stop Taliban. He forced military to buy into only defeating Al Qaeda (who are all now in Pakistan or tribal border regions), and to let Taliban reintegrate into Afghanistan. Thus, back to Afghanistan after Taliban swooped in to fill power vacuum when Soviets left and before Bush KO’ed Taliban for giving safe haven to Al Qaeda. No more freedom. Back to burkas for women. Public executions for infidels.

Of course he's made a deal. The night raids must be particularly effective and have them reeling.

Step up the night raids, get rid of this guy and win this puppy once and for all.
