By contrast there is nothing but lose/lose courting Karzai and his bunch corrupt thugs. For me all this war has done has cost us valuable lives of brave young soldiers and lowered the street price of heroin to compete against crack as the drug of choice for addicts. We don’t really know who our enemy in Afghanistan is, as experts now tell us Al Qaeda jumped across the border to reside in Pakistan. At the beginning of the war it was all about flushing out bin Laden and his fellow cave dwellers. With this as the goal I was under the impression the Taliban came over to our side because the equal disdain for this mutual enemy. Today the Taliban is claiming responsibility for all sorts of acts of violence against our soldiers in Afghanistan.

The reason for Karzai’s visit was nothing short of a mission of blackmail. The sole purpose of his trip was to demand more cash and if he didn’t get it then he would be “forced” to surrender to the Taliban. This man is the best friend of the war lords who control Afghanistan’s only industry; black tar. Some knowledgeable individuals say Karzai and his family are the biggest traders of the drug to the western world and have been for decades. My argument is who cares about the Taliban? They are not international terrorists and it appears few Muslims outside of Afghanistan have ever supported their cause. Karzai, sorry mate, if I were the President of USA, I would immediately order the troops back home, let the civil war begin and may the best man win. Afghanistan is of no value whatsoever and as much as I hate the human rights that exist there, let the Europeans (Europe is all but a close neighbor) become advisors/policemen. I then would redirect all the drones into blowing the Pakistani border into oblivion so every last vestige of Al Qaeda is eradicated. Immediately after that I would quit and let that other arch enemy of ours, Pakistan pick up the pieces. Without Al Qaeda, Pakistan is no threat because they are so pre-occupied with the possibility of an attack from India.

I’ve said it before; America has to sort out who are our real enemies. It certainly is not North Korea or Iran; they are China, Russia and India in that order. They want to see an economically weak and universally unpopular America so they can wield their own influence upon the world. We are slowly being sucked into that web. It is called globalization. The sad thing is it is the American multinational corporations who are effectively sponsoring it. Unfortunately we do have traitors in our camp.

Isn’t odd that every operative caught look the same? They could all be Muslim brothers or cousins? They are relatively young, they are all Middle Eastern looking and they all wear beards. I am sure Israel knows exactly what is going on with their enemy, because they actually identify them and keep a close watch on them. In America we are consumed by political correctness. For me it is a madness that has taken over this country. For this reason, I agree with many of the things the Tea Party stands for. Under our very eyes our country is being taken away from us. In actual fact, what we are doing is stupidly tell the world we really don’t know our enemies from our friends. We are wasting huge resources chasing moonbeams by treating a sixth generation eighty-year-old grandmother from Boise, Idaho exactly the same way as a young Pakistani “American” man who has just returned to the country from a six month holiday in Islamabad.

Firstly President Obama and your crew of Home Security chiefs, get a reality check into what is really going on. For starters I need to tell you all, Pakistan is your enemy, not your friend. They are as bigger promoters of international terrorism as those idiot countries, Sudan and Yemen. Every bearded young Muslim staying or living in America should be profiled and their behavior closely watched. The moment there is any suspicion, then ship ‘em back to where they originally came from. Even if they were born here, if we discover there is the evil intent in their behavior, then get rid of them. That’s what Great Britain is doing. Quite frankly I believe the followers of Al Qaeda are happier sitting starving over a camp fire in a cave in Afghanistan just like they did in the Dark Ages than existing in a country they hate and want to destroy.

To be truthful, I am more scared of an attack from Russia or China crippling this country than a bunch of religious moronic Muslim zealots. That is once we get them off our shores. This current secular approach to people who are nothing but dangerous nut cases has to stop. It’s absolute nonsense. Anyone choosing to come to America must do so to become American and they must accept our laws and customs, which include our language, English. I say spend money on closing our porous borders and then start cleaning up the trash inside America that holds American lives in fear. The cost would be minuscule compared to what we are now spending in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Afghanistan has literally been in a state of civil war since Alexander the Great invaded the country way back in 330 BC. In the nineteenth century it became a buffer state between the imperial expansionism desires of the Russian and British Empires. Granted, I am sure the poppy seeds have been the biggest source revenue for a few hundred years, but opium is not what has kept Afghanistan at perpetual war with itself. The country is tribal and primitive and has been for thousands of years. Unlike India, which under British colonial rule was able to get 600 “castes” to tolerate one another, Afghans for a couple of millenniums have been fighting amongst themselves in the mountains over nothing but a wish to be at war.

Russia’s, when it was the Soviet Union, last effort to expand its empire was to invade Afghanistan and within ten years the war became its Waterloo. Eleven years later in 1989 after suffering the embarrassment of retreating with its tail between its legs, the Soviet Union only took two more years to completely collapse. Many historians put it down to the toll of such a worthless war together with unpopularity back home of its decision to go into battle in the first place. If Iraq was un-winnable, then there is no hope with Afghanistan. President Karzai is just like all his predecessors; he is an Afghan war lord. He is as slippery as an eel, a born liar and Baby Doc Duvalier was a schoolboy in shorts when it comes to Karzai’s expertise in corruption.

So with that as a background to help you Mr President, my advice is get out of Afghanistan now. Like Iraq which is heading down the path of internal collapse and into anarchy as we pull our troops out, nothing useful will be gained “staying the course” in that hell hole of a country. Karzai has told you twice in three days, you are not his friend and that is after the welcome mat coming out just a few days earlier. He has unequivocally told you he wants America out. President Obama, he has presented you with a great opportunity here. Grab it with open arms and get our boys and girls back home on the next flight out of Kabul! I don’t know who is worse, the Taliban or tribal war lords. I don’t really care. In fact I would go so far as to say they all deserve one another. They are far happier beating the shit out of one another than becoming civilized.
