Karzai of the Afghans complains again
Thanks to the US taxpayers he and his family are billionaires many times over but does he show any gratitude? Hardly. Now he is complaining about NATO air forces blowing up Afghan citizens who happen to be under NATO bombs when they fall.
In one of his sternest warnings yet concerning civilian casualties, President Hamid Karzai said Tuesday that NATO must stop air attacks on Afghan homes immediately, or face “unilateral action” from the Afghan government.Ingrate! It is definitely time for the US to say we have had enough of this shitty little war. If you don't like us blowing up your people, we are taking our war toys and going home.
Speaking at a news conference at the presidential palace in Kabul, Mr. Karzai declined to say what actions the government would or could take, saying only that Afghanistan “has a lot of ways of stopping it.”
In an admonishment that carried an air of threat, he said NATO forces were on the verge of being considered occupiers rather than allies.
“If they continue their attacks on our houses, then their presence will change from a force that is fighting against terrorism to a force that is fighting against the people of Afghanistan,” he said. “And in that case, history shows what Afghans do with trespassers and with occupiers.”

the thirty years war, the hundred year war, the global war on terror. back in the bad old days battles were fought on battlefields, the carnage was somewhat contained, not since guernica have these conditions obtained, and one could argue not since shermans march to the sea............
this is exactly why we should get the hell out of these wars, either declare war, institute the draft, and take care of business, then we wouldn't be having this discussion, civilian deaths would be considered part of a package deal, not saying it's right, but there it is.
but once again, we have an amorphous enemy, global war where it is kosher to target our own citizens for killing, and no one able to declare what is considered "mission accomplished", no peace treaty, no armistice..............
this is, once again, why we should follow the constitution to the letter, and more importantly the spirit of the law.
but then the disaster capitalism military/industrial/propaganda complex couldn't rake in all those profits, while bankrupting our country in the deal, now could they?
follow the spirit and letter of the law and you wouldn't have people like me dissing our gangster-in-chief, "bloody barack" obomber, peace be upon him.
