    How can we, the USA, blame the Karzai administration for losing its grip? The USA, under Bush and his war criminals, abandoned Afghanistan in lieu of the oil resources of Iraq. From the beginning, the war there was lost for lack of resources and logistical support etc. The Bush administration and our faithful Pentagon planners (from hell) have left both, the legacy of strategic failure, wiping out our prestige in its wake, and many generations of financial burden on the backs of the American people. Sorry to say our media, like Newsweek and most of the others have sold their souls to the gov in place of writing the truth about the real situation in Afghanistan (but they the investors wouldn???t ever say that. They don???t have the guts or the integrity to really say the truth, just preserve their investment). First try practicing a truer form of Democracy at home rather than abandoning, then burdening your own subjects. The United States government is really the one losing its grip!

    I find the emblem of Mulloch behind Karzai most inspiring.

    A United States/Israeli alliance better hurry up and put a smackdown on the entire region in a decisive(sp?) war of conquest while it can. The zionist nations must stop pretending to have noble intentions and hurry up and get to the core of this thing while it can still be done. Acceptance of Israel and oil is what matters to the U.S./Israel. Does the zionist west really want more elections over in that part of the world? Get real. Seize the oil and crush the resistance.

    Yet another country the media portrays as a lost cause, but those of us who have been there, see positive outcomes that are never reported.. Don't listen to the media.

    jumpingnots is "tired" of the sh*t in countries like afghanistan, but forgets (or doesnt care to know) what part we as americans have played in destabilizing these countries in the first place, in the aims of protecting our own self interest (though to be sure its a disingenous, short sighted kind of self interest we are talking about).

    why didnt we follow up with proper support? why didnt we practice the very principles that we preach so loudly?

    we doomed ourselves to failure by dropping the ball, and in reality not really caring so much about the high minded principles we used to justify our actions. We shoulder a lot of the blame for the current situation, but its easier for too many americans to ignore the actual facts. ignorance is bliss... until the reality sets in as it always will, eventually

    It was as wrong to invade Afghanistan as it was to invade Iraq. Afghanis did not bomb the world trade center they were mostly Saudis. It's like bombing all of California because of Americas inability to produce Bush and Cheney to the Hague for war crimes and crimes agaionst humanity. As typical of military intelligence they learned nothing from history. The Russians didn't win there and the US won't either. These people are willing to fight and die for their way of life just like the North Vietnamese were.

    well i think its just like everyone somehow want to be in power, or maybe they think that they can control afghanistan but we shouldnt forget that afghanistan does not need a owner or someone to controll it, i think we should fix it from bottom to top, afghans should get together and no matter if they r pashtun, hazara, ozbak or tajik they are all known as afghans and they really should be proud of their nationality. we all know that others have used our country in one way or other and they are not there to help us stand up, all they do is feed us but not teaching who to find food. lets focuse on important points. lets open our eyes and see wats going on around us and who is pushing us down.

    Khalizad really has a very twisted mind if he wants to be the president of Afghanistan. The president of Afghanistan is just a servant of the US hated by most Afghans. He will be living in fear of his life and he will have no power what so ever. The only enticement that will make him endure as the president of Afghanistan as what Karzai is having now, is receiving a free daily blow job in the palace by Afghan interns.
