Karzai to US: Get out of Afghanistan immediately
PressTV ^ | 3/16/2014 | PressTV

Posted on 03/16/2014 4:44:52 PM PDT by Dallas59

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the United States and its Western allies to immediately get out of the country by the 2014 withdrawal deadline.

President Karzai told the US in his address to Afghan parliament that local security forces were strong enough to defend Afghanistan without Washington’s assistance.

The remarks come as Afghan military already protects 93 percent of the war-ravaged country.

The president also warned the US-led NATO countries against continuous meddling in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.

"I want to say to all those foreign countries who, maybe out of habit, or because they want to interfere, that they should not interfere," Karzai said.

Heroin use is fashionable right now. Those poppy fields are a cash crop for Karzai’s cronies. Best not to have the US Military around during the harvest.

"I say we should get out too. Karzai won’t last a year.

He'll be gone a lot sooner than that. He's reached the end of his two-term limit, and this was his last speech as president before the upcoming elections. If he's smart, he'll take all he graft and move to Switzerland. More likely, he'll move to the US and become a college professor at some liberal Ivy League school. They love this kind of guy.

Fine, put a bullet between his eyes on the way out.

Not one drop of American blood is worth spilling for these ungrateful animals.

That's the problem, they know they'll get billions from us even if we leave.
So why not kick us out and still get the bennies. I say stop all funds and
let them go back to killing each other. Nobody will give a crap about those
Islamic bastards anyway. I sure don't.

We thought they would welcome freedom from Saddam and the Taliban but it turns out they are all pretty much alike.

I'd bet that Bush 2 and Rumsfeld were told the truth about that region right after 9/11. But no, they thought that America could build two peaceful and democratic Western states right in the middle of Central Asia.

Bush 2 and Rumsfeld might have had the best of intentions. But their foolish actions have essentially destroyed the West. Radical islam will emerge victorious from both Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a war for civilization, a war that we could have won. But now it seems that we are on the losing side, in retreat both at home and abroad.

I’m fine with that. Not one more drop of blood from our (and our allies’) brave men and women, not one more penny of our treasure. It’s not worth it.
