Karzai’s criticism goes too far, will not serve Afghanistan’s interests: Khalilzad
2017-04-17
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former US Ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad has said the criticism by the former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, 12th President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in an attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
goes too far and will not serve the interests of Afghanistan.

Khalilzad who has also served as US Ambassador to Iraq and UN, said the criticism will also not advance peace in the country.

Karzai declared a hard stance against the United States on Saturday as he was speaking during a gathering in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
He strongly condemned the use of GBU-43 bomb also referred to as the Mother of All Bombs in eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province of Afghanistan.

The former President vowed to step up efforts in a bid to oust the US military from the country following the massive Arclight airstrike in Achin Nangarhar against ISIS murderous Moslems involving the non-nuclear GBU-43 bomb.

He slammed the government for allowing the US forces to carry out the strike and insisted that the move would be a national treason if the government had approved the use of the massive bomb.

The remarks by Karzai followed despite the Afghan government said it was in the loop when the Arclight airstrike was carried out.
