| Karzai US-Taliban collusion remarks 'ridiculous': Nato |
| 2013-03-20 |
| [Dawn] Charges by Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai of US collusion with the Taliban are "absolutely ridiculous," Nato head Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Monday. Asked about Karzai's outburst last week, Rasmussen said he was concerned and hoped Kabul would instead acknowledge the effort made by Nato allies in blood and money to "bring progress to Afghanistan." "I reject the idea ... there is so-called collusion between Nato forces ...and the Taliban. It is an absolutely ridiculous idea," he said, noting that Karzai had later modified some of his comments. "We respect Afghan sovereignty but we want acknowledgement that we have invested blood and treasure in helping President Karzai's country to move forward," he told a press conference. |

| #1 So what was NATO's first clue? Kinda obvious isn't it. No wait!! This is the ME where every law of nature, except gravity takes leave and logic is left at the border. |
