Make Like the U.S.S.R.

Hamid Karzai says America and the Taliban have a common goal of destabilizing Afghanistan so we can keep American troops in his country. Really? After billions of dollars and the blood of American troops, this ungrateful bastard thinks our intentions are somehow less than honorable. Chuck Hagel needs to inform President Karzai we can take our ball, our bat and our bombs and go home – along with any financial aid that keeps him in power. So why does this third would power feel he can thumb his nose at the US? Well, it is because the world sees American as weak, with a weak leader, Barack Obama. We are repeating the leadership failures of Jimmy Carter, when the rest of the world saw us as weak – it emboldens our enemies. I say if President Karzai doesn’t trust us or want us in his country, we make like the U.S.S.R. and leave.
