    Yeah I know that he's not supposed to say stuff like this in public but God bless the soldier for speaking the truth that nobody else is willing to say...

    I've known several Afghans who fled the Soviet occupation. They are sheltered from reality. They are tribal. They hated us, all of us... and this was long before 9-11. Jesus, we were helping them evict the Soviets then. Sometimes, some people just can't be helped.

    Karzai is nothing more than a drug running businessman in furry pillbox hat. He is the "front" that the Bush administration chose. We needed to get out of that dump years ago.
