Karzai Calls Daesh A ‘Tool’ Of The United States
[Tolo News] Former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...A product, probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance...
on Wednesday said ISIS was a "tool" of the United States and that he does not differentiate between ISIS and America.

Karzai told VOA’s Afghan service: "After it (the U.S) dropped the bomb on Afghanistan, it did not eliminate ISIS."

"I consider ISIS their tool," he said.

"I do not differentiate at all between ISIS and America."

Karzai also dismissed criticism of Moscow's ties with the Taliban
...the Pashtun equiovalent of men...
"They (Russia) talk to the Taliban," Karzai said.

"The U.S. also talks to the Taliban. Norway, Germany and other countries also talk to them. Russia also has the right to hold talks with the Taliban."

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
he told VOA: "The Taliban is a major reality in today's Afghanistan. The Americans themselves say that they (Taliban) control 50 percent of the Afghan territory. When a force controls 50 percent, countries have no option but to talk to them. The U.S itself talks to them -- they meet them in their office in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
This comes after Karzai, on Saturday lashed out at government and the U.S over the bombing.
"Pay attention to meeeeee!"
He said he did not recognize the government, and had decided to work to get rid of America in Afghanistan and criticized government for "allowing the U.S to drop such a big non-nuclear bomb. If government approved it, the act is treason."

He said the bombing was an insult to Afghanistan and that the U.S was just using ISIS as an excuse.

Karzai also said it was a violation of Afghanistan's illusory sovereignty and a violation of the environment.

Last Thursday, the U.S fired off a Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), commonly known as the Mother of All Bombs, against a ISIS tunnel complex in the remote area of Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
Officials said this week that 96 ISIS Death Eaters were killed in the bombing.
