#2 He's a politician.
Bit more than that Pappy, a politician who would be king Karzai re-enacted the original coronation of Ahmad Shah Durrani at the shrine of Sher-i-Surkh outside of Kandahar where he had leaders of various Afghan tribes, including a descendent of the religious leader (Sabir Shah) that originally selected Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1747 as key players in this event.[25] Further evidence that Karzai views himself fulfilling a Durrani monarch's role arise from statements furnished by close allies within his government.[26] His late brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, made statements to a similar effect.[27]

Yeah, we gave them a politician when we should have given them a U.S. general to impose strict martial law with an emphasis on secularism. They weren't ready for democracy. It was naive to think they were. Too bad. The opportunity has passed.

#5 He's boned and he knows it. When we pull out, he's a dead man if he doesn't go back to Britain and live in exile, albeit rather luxurious exile with all the NATO $$ he has skimmed.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
