Afghanistan
Karzai's 'last warning' to US on civilian deaths
2011-05-30
[Emirates 24/7] Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
called Sunday on the US military to avoid operations that kill Afghan civilians, saying this was his "last warning" to Washington, his office said in a statement.

Reacting to the alleged deaths of 10 children, two women and two men in a US-led air strike on Saturday in the southern province of Helmand, Karzai said such incidents were "murdering Afghanistan's children and women."

"The president called this incident a great mistake and the murdering of Afghanistan's children and women, and on behalf of the Afghan people gives his last warning to the US troops and US officials in this regard," his office said.

#9  Unfortunately, the 9-11 EVENT = BE THEY COMMIES ANDOR RADICAL ISLAMIST, THE MILTERRS WILL INEVITABLY BE COMING TO ATTACK THE US-WEST. The Islamist Jihad's advance is "creeping" at this time in time, but it will slowly but steadily expand + escalate towards ROUTINE MAJOR TERRSTRIKES WIDIN THE USA = CONUS-NORAM.

9-11 STYLE IFF NOT WORSE.

* 1990's - Pre,Post-911 NET > the antithesis to the US-led GWOT vee Al-Qaeda + Radical Islamism = is inversely RESISTANCE + WAR AGZ THE USA = US-ALLIED. Radical Islam has warned or inferred as much.

Once the Islamist MilTerrs go asymmetrically Nukulaar, "2012" or ASAP shortly thereafter as symbolized by Nuc wannabe Iran, then by extension THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS, ETC. FOMENTING VIOLENCE IN NORTHERN MEXI STATES NEAR THE SW US BORDERS [+ starting to shoot at US Border Patrol, ICE, etc] WILL ALSO LIKELY GO ASYMMET NUCLEAR [Hezbollah setting up in the Americas].

Again, ITS NOT JUST LRBMS OR "SUITCASE NUKES" OR SUICIDE BOMBERS, BUT "DUAL USE", NUKE-WMDS CAPABLE UNGUIDED ROCKETS + LR MORTAR ARTY, ETC. i.e. LIGHT, ULTRA-LIGHT = MAN-PORTABLE TACNUCWEAPS which have long been in existence since height of the US-Soviet Cold War.

The MilTerrs' top leadership are typicaly very keen on keeping up wid the latest fads + thingys = miltechs.

E.G. DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Times of India] WSJ: TALIBAN INTEND TO TAKE OVER PAKISTAN + ITS NUKES.

The wily PCorrect Talibs have claimed post-PNSMehran they won't attack PAK NUC ARSENAL, BUT FYI STILL INTEND TO JUST WAGE DEDICATED HOLY WAR AGZ THE ALLEGED PRO-US CRUSADER-ZIONIST ISLAMABAD GOVT., + OOOOOPPPPSSSIES [your bad] by definition anything controlled by Same, UNTIL AN "ISLAMIC STATE OF PAKISTAN" IS ACHIEVED.

Political Jihad = takeover Pak's Nukes by electroally taking over or dominating the Govt ala formal non-violent means, e.g. Hezbollah in Lebanon + Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

* SAME > PAK NAVY OFFICIAL: ILLYAS KASHMIRI'S AL-QAEDA GROUP CARRIED OUT MEHRAN ATTACK.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > AL-QAEDA HAVE RECRUITS IN PAK NAVY?, i.e. among Pak military Recruits + regular Servicemembers.

PAK Navy becoming increasingly "islamized/
radicalized".

And remember, the Pak Navy desires modern Surface Warships + espec SSKS Submarines capable of firing Nuclear-armed Torpedoes, NLCMS, + LACMS agz "the Indjuh Threat" [India].

* NEWS KERALA > KARACHI ATTACK: PAK NAVY BLAMES AIR FORCE FOR POOR SECURITY.

There goes the Inter-service barbecue this year.

#7  While we are at it infect Karzai's brother's poppy fields with all sorts of nice plant diseases.

#6  I don't know, I think an Administration of President Dostum would be just the ticket for Afghanistan, and the Taliban would behave or die under his Administration.

#5  There is no right regime in this hell hole. Leave them to their own devices. Don't waste anymore blood or treasure on this place. Leave. Today!

#4  "Our betters and astute political scientists in Washington..." back those they know and approve. It is no accident, like approves of like.

#3  No comment from Karzai on the US KIA last week however. Or the week before that.

A fine excellent example of typical Muslim loyalty and gratitude. If the US pulled out of Afghanistan, Karzai and him merry band of tribal dope bandits would be dead within hours. Afghanistan is a cesspool of drugs, weapons, and banditry. Nothing will change here, at least until Pakistan is dealt with and even then only slightly. Our betters and astute political scientists in Washington have once again backed the wrong regime.

#2  Well maybe if your buddies wouldn't hide among the civilian populations there wouldn't be any deaths.

Besides - The Geneva Conventions clearly outlines who is responsible for any colateral damage. Your friends from Pakistan.
