#1 Better watch your mouth, Hamid. We put you in and we can sure as hell take you out.

#2 "We" are now ruled by the Obameister, so Karzai is probably dipping his toes in the water to see what the temperature is. If Obama flinches, Karzai will turn on him in a heartbeat, and might start cozying up with whoever looks to have some backbone, including Russia.

You can never screw around in Afghanistan, or show weakness, or the whole bloody place will turn on you.

#6 I thought we wouldn't be committing any more war crimes against civilians now that the Zero is president?

#7 Here we go again. Someone mentions Dostum. Karzai worked to disempower him. Karzai has also condemned Dostum's role in Gitmo processing, which began after the warlord shipped thousands of terrorists in containers. It is true that Dostum sold Chechen captives to the Russians. He isn't a saint, but I trust him more than the current phony.

#9 Thousands in containers, huh? Musta caused Gitmo to double 'em up in the cells, I suppose.

Seriously, you might want to get your story straight on the reported Dostum massacre of Taliban in containers. a) they weren't anywhere near Gitmo nor headed there and b) the Red Cross documented the condition of those prisoners when they arrived at Sheberghan. Surely the British Columbia university library network from which you post is adequate for a little basic research.
