Lord knows that I can sympathize with anyone who is angry with the American government over how they have managed the war in Afghanistan, but Hamid Karzai can go to hell:
After leaving office, Karzai won’t go far: The government has built him a house a few miles from the presidential palace.
But before he steps down, Karzai has a few more messages to convey to his American partners. As he escorted two Washington Post journalists out of his office Saturday evening, he said: “To the American people, give them my best wishes and my gratitude. To the U.S. government, give them my anger, my extreme anger.’’
We could have been much better partners, but he owes everything to our government. And he’s been ineffectual, too, and incredibly corrupt. He talks a lot of crap, but let’s see how long he stays in his house near the presidential palace. My guess is he’ll either flee for Europe or he’ll be hacked to pieces within two years.
