The Karzai family have been leaders in Afghanistan for many years.

This creep is just a test. If we're lucky, he'll drone in his attempt to lead Afghanistan.

I don’t know. ‘Seems like an outcome soetoro would like. Especially as he can murder as many Americans as possible while they’re still there. Just wait for our “staged withdrawal”.

Yep. We sure made a difference alright.

I don't think he sounds like a likely winner. It will go to a tribal leader, being Afghanistan. Presumably Karzai family.

A conservative Islamic scholar

That Rooters Speak really bugs me. "Conservative," meaning fanatic extremist. Then how come in the U.S. it's the libs who love al Qaeda? Nothing "conservative" about raping and killing and enslaving everyone in sight, like the real Muzzies like to do.

If we know who he is and where he lives, why is he still alive?

Typical liberal low blow, just to reinforce the ‘conservatives are crazies’ label they and their communist masters have popularized over the years.

The fact that he’s alive proves that we’re not serious about winning this war. Which means we shouldn’t support any war until the postmodernists are out of power. It puts our blood and treasure at risk for nothing.

How could he qualify for President? He wasn’t even born here. On second thought, we’re not sure Barry was either.
