This Can't Be Good

The NYT is reporting that Afghan president Karzai is starting to bail out on Obama.
Mr. Karzai has been pressing to strike his own deal with the Taliban and the country’s archrival, Pakistan, the Taliban’s longtime supporter. According to a former senior Afghan official, Mr. Karzai’s maneuverings involve secret negotiations with the Taliban outside the purview of American and NATO officials.

“The president has lost his confidence in the capability of either the coalition or his own government to protect this country,” Mr. Saleh said in an interview at his home. “President Karzai has never announced that NATO will lose, but the way that he does not proudly own the campaign shows that he doesn’t trust it is working.”
Let's see here - Afghanistan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan ... it's nothing but a string of Smart Power™ successes for Obowma.


"Please accept our surrender."

  1. Yet Saudi Arabia just gave air clearance to Israel. The rest of the world will let Israel do the dirty job for them, and then they will sit around wringing their hands and condemning them, while secretly crossing themselves and thanking their lucky stars.

  2. I saw that. Crazy. In the next breath, they'll be financing weapons for Hamas. They're the masters of being two-faced weasels.
