Civilian Killings Must Stop: Karzai
2011-04-11
[Tolo News] Killing civilians will never help us succeed the fight against beturbanned goons, Afghanistan's Caped President's Office said in a statement on Saturday evening.

The statement came after foreign forces killed five civilians in a military operation in Sayad district of northern Sar-e-Pul province on Tuesday.

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...
has condemned the killings and has ordered an investigation.

Sayed Anwar Rahmati, Governor of Sar-e-Pul has contacted the Afghanistan's Caped President confirming that those killed in the operation were civilians, added the statement.

The issue of civilian casualties caused by foreign forces is one of the controversial and sensitive issues between President Karzai and his Western allies.

President Karzai has also condemned Taliban's recent attack in which they killed Daud Esaqzai, Police Chief of Sar-e-Pul's Gosfandi district.
See? He's being balanced.
The incident happened on Friday while Esaqzai was out on patrol and Talibs shot him dead.

The Taliban have grabbed credit for the murder.

Sar-e-Pul was considered a relatively peaceful province in the north, but hard boyz have recently become active in some villages.

#3  He is another Diem. Don't forget that most Pashto sections weren't liberated by the Northern Alliance; there were a series of near status quo armistices. In fact, the talibanimal who organized the destruction of the Buddhas, was allowed to run for the islamic-shura ("parliament"); he was later killed while attempting terror.

Just when Karzai had him fully trained and the booty was rolling in on schedule. How tragic.

#1  Memo to Hamid:

Don't worry. Sooner or later US and NATO troops will leave your pitiful excuse for a failed state because it's more trouble than it's worth. Then all of your "civilians" can proceed to murder each other without restraint.
