Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the United States and its Western allies to immediately get out of the country by the 2014 withdrawal deadline.

President Karzai told the US in his address to Afghan parliament that local security forces were strong enough to defend Afghanistan without Washington’s assistance.

The remarks come as Afghan military already protects 93 percent of the war-ravaged country.

The president also warned the US-led NATO countries against continuous meddling in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.

"I want to say to all those foreign countries who, maybe out of habit, or because they want to interfere, that they should not interfere," Karzai said.

Let them go. Too much American blood has been shed for 7th century Islam. Let China, India and Russia kill them.

[dfwgator]

Ok, bye.

[liberalh8ter]

Shall we discuss a payment plan?

[Vinylly]

Thank you Mr. Karzai, glad you appreciate us.

[EEGator]

Burn the poppy fields, salt the Earth, and take the minerals.

[DoodleDawg]

Works for me.

[dforest]

Yeah, but the meddling is so hard to pull away from.

What a waste this place was.

[tioga]

Ok, bye!

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.

[Kirkwood]

Karzai will clean out the treasury and leave the keys to the country to a taliban warlord.

[liberalh8ter]

Sounds good to me.

I guess he already has his ticket to Switzerland to go visit his ( formerly our) money.

[Starstruck]

I have no problem with this. But with the caveat that whenever we detect a terrorist training camp we send in bombers to destroy it and then send a few missiles into government buildings just to let them know we disapprove.

"I want to say to all those foreign countries who, maybe out of habit, or because they want to interfere, that they should not interfere," Karzai said.

Ingratitude must be a genetic trait among the people who are from that part of the world.

[TADSLOS]

My son and his troops just arrived in Kandahar yesterday for a deployment until the end of 2014. Pull them ALL out NOW as far as I’m concerned. We just risk wasting more blood and treasure on these fools.

[dfwgator]

Vlad, it’s all yours.

[xzins]

Waste no time. Take the old boy up on it immediately.

(As soon as we’re gone anyone wanna bet how long it takes him to change the ROEs? I say about 5 minutes.)

[Walmartian]

First throw some kudzu seeds into the poppy fields.

[usconservative]

I say we should get out too. Karzai won’t last a year.
