Hamid Karzi criticize the US and NATO’s combat role in Afghanistan
2014-12-30
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former Afghan President Hamid Karzai the role of US and NATO forces in fight against terrorism in Afghanistan during the past 13 years.

The ex-Afghan President welcomed the conclusion of the US and NATO combat role in Afghanistan and said the NATO-led coalition forces were requested on numerous occassions to bring reforms in their approach and fight against terrorism.

Karzia said the US and NATO forces were engaged in an inappropriate fight against the terrorism, considering the geography of the war and method of operations.

He hoped that the international community considers the demands of the Afghan people to fully equip the Afghan national security forces as the US and NATO combat mission ends.

Karzai also insisted on measures to prevent the civilian casualties while pointing towards an incident in central Logar province where three civilians were killed following an air raid.

The US and NATO formally concluded the combat mission in Afghanistan after 13 years, during an event on Sunday in Kabul, which was also organized for the transition to the new non-combat – NATO-led Resolute Support mission.

The solemn ceremony, held at the ISAF Headquarters, paid tribute to the international efforts launched in 2001 by the NATO-led coalition as they worked with Afghan partners.

The Resolute Support mission will consist of more than 12,500 troops focused on building Afghan National Security Force (ANSF) sustainability. 28 NATO Allies and 14 partner nations will contribute to the mission in different ways.

Of course in some sense he is right, we should have put a dagger to Pakistan's throat about 12 years ago.

The poor man can leave any time he wants, now that he has no responsibilities. He might even be able to give up the anxiety meds if he lived somewhere safe... like New Zealand.
