#3 I say let the US troops leave and let NATO take over without us or the funding. It wouldn't take long before he would be singing another tune if he could sing at all.

#4 Form some committees and focus groups, look thoughtful, play a couple rounds of golf, and after a month announce a decision will be made soon.

Couple weeks later order a full withdraw to get the troops home in time for Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately Karzai will be too busy attempting to form the new Afghan coalition ahead of schedule (US troops were promised to leave soon anyways, this would just be sooner than expected) to worry about the sudden rabbit population explosion...just a guess.

#5 the White House said Tuesday it would consider canceling an upcoming visit by Afghan President Hamid Karzai if he continues to make troublesome remarks.

Apparently, Karzai doesn't realize he is dealing with the ONE. Karzai, if you would just lower your head a little, look at your feet, and say: "Yas suh massah, what duz ya wan me to do?"
