Of course he can say whatever he wants to since the real reason we are there has less to do with "freedom" as it does with that Trans-Afghan Pipeline.
Threatening he will join the Taliban...that's rich.

As if Obama has a "choice" to be there or not...:rofl:
The corporate masters are at the helm.

1. The mayor of Kabul wants to join the Taliban?

I guess that the enemy of my enemy is my friend still holds true.

Seeing how Karzai, railed against the Taliban, although he was for them before he was against them, it seems odd that he wants to play footsie with them again.


Anything to hold on to power...

2. I think he is positioning himself

He knows the USA will leave eventually and he probably wants to keep his head attached to his body.

3. Good luck with that. I hope that the US does leave, but it would be better to leave

without leaving the place a clusterfuck.

Do you ever wonder what Afghanistan would look like now if Dubya had just done the job he was supposed to do instead of opening up another front?

What a mess.

4. I understand that the super-powers have...

...screwed up that country for years now.

It used to be a beautiful place to visit.
