— President Hamid Karzai has frequently lashed out at the U.S. military for causing civilian casualties in its raids. But behind the scenes, he has been building a far broader case against the Americans, suggesting that they may have aided or conducted shadowy insurgent-style attacks to undermine his government, according to senior Afghan officials.

Karzai has formalized his suspicions with a list of dozens of attacks that he believes the U.S. government may have been involved in, according to one palace official. The list even includes the recent bomb and gun assault on a Lebanese restaurant in Kabul, one of the bloodiest acts targeting the international community in Afghanistan, the official said. The attack, which left 21 people dead, including three Americans, was almost universally attributed to the Taliban.

It seems that almost everyone in that part of the world is nuts.

Our policy needs to be all stick and no carrot with these backward people.

I’m sick of US wasting blood and treasure on such ungrateful losers.

Churchill was right about these people, they cannot govern themselves or maintain a peaceful and prosperous society.

Five years agon I would have thought Karzai was nuts, but with Obama and his henchmen, I believe it.

Given the past (Congressional-approved) treason
against the USA by Obama, this is possible.

Sorry, but we are supplying them in a round about way.

While I agree they are a grossly backwards people...

Under the current policies of the CIC, we’re not any better at all.

From supplying Syria to the hidden agenda in Benghazi...Karzai is more right...than wrong.

This simply shows the Afghan central government has been heavily infiltrated with Taliban operatives.
