Kerry wants Wali Karzai-CIA ties to be scrutinized | ||
2009-10-29 | ||
[Iran Press TV Latest] The US administration should brief Congress on any ties between Afghan President Hamid Karzai's brother and the CIA or drug traffickers, Senator John Kerry says.
Kerry's comments came after Ahmed Wali Karzai, who is said to have ties to Afghanistan's lucrative illegal opium trade, denied a New York Times report that he has been on the CIA payroll for most of the past eight years. Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said top US officials had "repeatedly" assured him that "there is no hard evidence" to substantiate the narcotics allegation. "However, after reading press accounts which allege that Mr. Karzai has been on the payroll of the CIA, one of the agencies gathering intelligence about narcotics trafficking in Afghanistan, I have serious questions about the information that Congress is receiving," said Kerry. | ||

#3 What a dip shit. We missed a direct round by not having him as a president, we caught a direct round now. The Enemy are with talent and nefarious options. This POS will be useless for the rest of his life and he knows it. Better a true enemy take pole position that way he can somehow stay in the arena, though hiding behind some ahole that knows less than this frog knows. Sorry state of affairs this. I like Frogs from the Moses era, but this one makes me want to squish it. |
