Hamid Karzai Corruption Rewarded By Latest White House Visit
On Tuesday, Hamid Karzai, president of Afghanistan, was in Washington. The corruption by Hamid Karzai just a month ago made everyone think he was a dirt bag. In April the Washington Post said that the White House hinted that it had considered canceling Hamid Karzai’s scheduled meeting with President Obama on Wednesday. At the very same time, there are more and more US troops being killed in Hamid Karzai’s name.
Election for Hamid Karzai
The Hamid Karzai election marked when the administration’s displeasure with Hamid Karzai’s corruption became public. In 2009, it was discovered that fraud was involved in Hamid Karzai’s election to a second term as president. Karzai blamed the west for the widespread fraud in the vote. He publicly criticized the western government for propping him up, while wearing his Karzai hat, and got cozy with fellow puppet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Meanwhile, the U.S. spends about $6.3 billion a month in an unsecured loan to Afghanistan, according to an October 2009 report from the Congressional Research Service.
Corruption of Hamid Karzai
Hamid Karzai may be a U.S. puppet, but lately America has lost its grip on his strings. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greeted Karzai very warmly in a reception at the State Department. The Obama administration will have to deal with Karzai for at least four more years. The opposition withdrew after the US pressured Karzai into a do-over election. Neck-deep in an intractable war, the Obama administration finds itself locked in a co-dependent relationship. Now America’s plans for Afghanistan will depend on a corrupt leader who doesn’t like his handlers. Karzai is using this situation to get as much as he can.
The hat of Hamid Karzai
Hamid Karzai, after talking bad about the coalition of countries sacrificing blood and treasure to keep him in Karzai hats made from aborted lamb fetuses, now whines about being abandoned. The political theater for Karzai this week should calm his anxiety and feed his ego. By July 2011, Obama plans on pulling out all troops. If the U.S. achieves that goal, Karzai, who has survived three assassination attempts as Afghanistan’s president, is making it known that he will seek a new protector.
Hamid Karzai has a brother
Ahmad Wali Karzai, Hamid Karzai’s half brother, shows this corruption in Kandahar Province where he leads its Provisional Council. The US plans that by the end of the year the Taliban will be driven out of Kandahar province. Speaking of Hamid Karzai as a legitimate partner in such an effort, Peter Galbraith, a former U.N. envoy to Afghanistan told MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown” :
“He’s prone to tirades. He can be very emotional, act impulsively. In fact, some of the palace insiders say that he has a certain fondness for some of Afghanistan’s most profitable exports.”
In mentioning exports, Galbraith was talking about opium. Suspected of getting rich from opium trade in one of the world’s poorest countries is Ahmad Wali. The Obama administration doesn’t have much evidence yet and the Karzai brothers deny this completely.
Hamid Karzai, what a guy
Hamid Karzai was personally escorted on hit flight from Kabul to Washington by Lt. Gen. Karl W. Eikenberry. The New York Times reports that Eikenberry plans to assure all the reporters that will be at the White House that he now has faith in the Afghan president’s determination to succeed. Last November, in leaked classified cables obtained by the New York Times, Eikenberry told the Obama administration that Karzai “is not an adequate strategic partner” and “continues to shun responsibility for any sovereign burden”.
In deep with Hamid Karzai
Eikenberry knew exactly what he was talking about when he criticized Karzai. He’s a retired Army lieutenant general who served as the top American commander in Afghanistan in 2002-03. In the classified cables, he warned that a major military commitment to Afghanistan would result in “astronomical costs” — which means tens of billions of dollars — and would deepen the dependence of the Afghan government on the United States. A lot of that has come true thus far.

Lieutenant Fury $9.89 <p>1793. HMS <i>Amazon</i> is returning from an arduous duty in the Indian Ocean when she encounters a French frigate in the Atlantic.When Amazon left England nearly two years before the countries were not at war but any hopes that the peace still holds are shattered as the Frenchman unexpectedly opens fire- a bloody sea battle ensues resulting in both triumph and personal tragedy for Acting Lieutenant John Fury. </p><p> </p><p> A battered <i>Amazon</i> puts into Gibraltar for repairs and there Fury has his promotion confirmed by Vice Admiral Lord Hood, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. But with promotion comes a transfer away from his home on the Amazon and a new challenge. He will be the fifth lieutenant on the 74-gun-man of war <i>Fortitude</i>. </p><p> </p><p> Tedious blockading duty on the French Fleet in Toulon seems to be in prospect but then in a remarkable development Toulon and the enemy fleet are surrendered to Hood by French Monarchists. A series of unexpected events sees Fury temporarily transferred away from <i>Fortitude</i>, first to a brig, his first independent command, then to a gun ship and finally to defend a prominent fort ashore as the Republican armies, inspired by a young artillery officer by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte, establish a brutal siege of the port. It is soon clear that Britain and her allies are going to be hard pressed to hold onto their prize. But Fury has more to lose than most, in the maelstrom of the siege he has met and fallen in love with a pretty French girl, Sophie Gourrier. Somehow, as the defence crumbles, he must rescue his men and Sophie from the doomed city.</p> |
