Karzai said the US should specify in a partnership agreement to be signed between his country and the US how much money it will give to Afghanistan after they leave.

"They (US) say we will give you money, but will not specify the amount. We say give us less, but write it down," Karzai told a group of university professors and students in Kabul.

At that price, we could safely turn the whole latrine into a parking lot and have money left over. It might be a good object lesson for the Paki’s next door.

There isn't a more profitable undertaking for any country than to declare war on the United States and to be defeated.

For free? No way. Karzai and the rest of the goat-humpers can kiss it.

Give us an equivalent value in opium and/or oil. Then, we can talk.

Get the money from Red China, Karzai. After all, you gave them the oil contracts.

If we can then dismiss the entire TSA, I’d say it’s a bargain.

“Get us out of Afghanistan now!”

...and don’t give us a bunch of chain migrating Afghan immigrants like those g.d. Somalians.

To Hilterly and obammy, our enemies are our friends. Pay ‘em! They will kill us.

I say turn Afghanistan over to the taliban and rake them if they dare mess with us again. Enough of playing stupid to the Muzzies with the Rinos (McCain, King and Graham) and the other side of the treasonous aisle.
