It looks like we may have paid him enough


After receiving all those uncounted millions in cash from the CIA, as well as untold millions in contracts to family members, it is looking like we have paid the Karzai family and their untainted leader Karzai of the Afghans enough money to let us keep Imperial outposts in Shitholeistan after we stop shooting at the various Afghanis.
Afghanistan is ready to let the United States and its allies keep military bases here after the end of the NATO combat mission next year, President Hamid Karzai said on Thursday, offering a concrete public signal that foreign troops would remain welcome in the coming years.

The United States and Afghanistan are negotiating a security agreement that would allow American forces to stay here beyond the end of 2014, and Mr. Karzai said the Obama administration has asked for nine bases spread across the country.

“We agree to give them these bases,” Mr. Karzai told students during a speech at Kabul University. “We consider our relations with the United States beyond 2014 to be positive for Afghanistan.”

The American reaction, though, was far less positive than what one would expect. Officials characterized Mr. Karzai’s comments as premature, at best, and said they appeared to reflect the Afghan government’s desire for a larger force than the United States is likely willing to commit.
Even the Russians were not stupid enough to leave anyone behind when they left. And just because we say that combat is at an end, why do we think the Afghanis won't be shooting at us with the same vigor they show now?
