The Right Scoop

Afghanistan, the good war. After everything America has done, and sacrificed, on Afghan soil, both in our interest and in theirs, Karzai’s behavior, attitude, and disrespect are deplorable.

Bill O’Reilly is right to call him a villain and a despicable person.

What did the U.S. NOT do immediately after the American Civil War? What did the U.S. NOT do immediately after the World War II defeat of Germany and Japan?

The U.S. did not immediately embrace the Democracy Fairy and allow the ex-Confederates, the Germans or the Japanese to hold a free election and hand over the local power to whomever the ex-Confederates, the Germans or the Japanese pleased. Yet, that is exactly what the U.S. did in both Iraq and Afghanistan, resulting in the U.S. begging and pleading with local politicians that the U.S. did not choose.

Both the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War were chess games with a brilliant American Opening Game, an idiotic Middle Game and a disastrous End Game. Bush gets credit for the brilliant Opening Game but Bush must also get blame for the idiotic Middle Game. Obama gets credit for disastrous End Game which was nothing more than throwing the American chess pieces into the garbage and awarding the Iraq game to Iran and awarding the Afghanistan game to the Taliban and al Qaeda.

The guy is a tribal leader/war lord in a schizophrenic country where it is normal to change sides in a battle if it looks like your side may be losing.

What did you really expect him to act like?

Exactly. So that is why the U.S. should have hand-picked the war lord instead of allowing local Afghan politics to pick the war lord.

Most Americans simply don't understand that other Muslim cultures don't value life as much as we do.
