Afghanistan: Time to Go

I do not disagree with the premise that the Taliban are a bunch of mean fuckers. I do not disagree with the premise that if the Taliban leadership were all taking dirt naps, that the world would be a better place.

But consider, for a moment, the fact that the clown that we chose to run the country is running, with eyes open, one of the most corrupt and detested governments on the planet:
KABUL, Afghanistan — One of the country’s most senior prosecutors said Saturday that President Hamid Karzai fired him last week after he repeatedly refused to block corruption investigations at the highest levels of Mr. Karzai’s government.
Bribery. Extorting kickbacks. Colluding with the enemy. Kidnapping. Murder. Drug trafficking. These are among the crimes committed by officials in the Karzai regime, crimes of which Karzai is equally guilty of for protecting the criminals.

Karzai is nothing more than Thieu in Pashto.

April of 1975 is coming for this war.

    The people might accept the corruption if they were, at least, competent.
    Hell, we have.

    The problem in VN and Kabul is that they have to want is (modernity, peace roads wells schoold and hospitals) more than they want the corruption they have lived with for centuries... They have to want it at least as much as we want it for them!!!
