Hamid Karzai: US colluded with ISIL in Afghanistan
2017-11-11
[Al Jazeera] Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...A product, probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance...
, the former president of Afghanistan, has accused the the US of working with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) group in his country.

In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera's UpFront aired on Friday, Karzai said the US government had allowed ISIS, also known as ISIS, to flourish inside Afghanistan.

"In my view under the full presence, surveillance, military, political, intelligence, ISIS [ISIS] has emerged," he said.

"And for two years the Afghan people came, cried loud about their suffering, of violations. Nothing was done."

Karzai said the US administration of President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
made ISIS as an excuse to drop a massive bomb in Afghanistan on April 2017.

"And the next day, ISIS takes the next district in Afghanistan," he said referring to the Arabic name of the gang.

"That proves to us that there is a hand in it and that hand can be no one else but them [the US] in Afghanistan."

#4  The issue isn't so much Karzai. This kind of duplicity/deliberate deceit is par for the course in that part of the world. That's why they're shitholes. It's Bush. The guy was a failure in the private sector. His entire selling point was that he was a good manager - that he knew how to pick people.

His picks in Iraq and Afghanistan have certainly not inspired confidence. Leftist historians and journalists dislike him for different reasons. But if Bush had picked a Franco or a Pinochet who smacked around the opposition while putting his nation on a sound footing, would they have much of a basis for criticizing him? Bush was an abysmal failure, whereas Obama was a great success. Bush was lousy at getting his agenda through, whereas Obama aced his agenda.

#2  He can afford it. He and his brothers certainly made enough money in the heroin business.
