The Neo Cons and the Neo Libs blew this one.....as soon as we are out of there. More than likely Karzai will be a walking deadman.

Nah- he's already got billions stashed away somewhere and he'll live out the rest of his life in total luxury.

It's likely he will "do an Arafat" and pop up in France with an enormous bank account of kafir dollars living in expensive real estate.

Taliban sexually abuse suicide bombers during training, NDS says - Central Asia Online

Taliban molestation of boys, once rarely discussed in Afghanistan and Pakistan, is now becoming a more common topic of conversation.

Nematullah, a former would-be suicide bomber, told Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS) that young men, including himself, endured sexual abuse by their trainers, according to a September 23 NDS statement.

Militant leader Mullah Ahmad (aka Mullah Akhtar), who trained the young man to carry out a suicide attack on his motorcycle in Adraskan District of Herat Province in September, also sexually abused him, Nematullah said.

The above is not a new phenomenon.

It's really not our country.

This is one of the policies decisions I think Obama got wrong.

Time for him to say "We are leaving and if you start any shit..we'll be back to fuck you up again.."

Honestly, we’re going broke paying these scumbags extortion money.

Afghanistan's thanks for U.S. generosity: Karzai's regime issues harsh exit levies - Washington Times

So much for thanks: As the U.S. accelerates its exit from a decadelong, $100 billion reconstruction effort in Afghanistan, American generosity is getting an unwelcome penalty in the form of taxes and fees imposed by President Hamid Karzai’s government on U.S. contractors supporting the rebuilding effort.

Everything from exiting military equipment and food for troops to new federal contract dollars are facing levies, customs fees and fines — a wave of taxation estimated to slice $1 billion or more off the top of aid that was supposed to go to the Afghan people. Instead, it’s going into the coffers of the Karzai government.

KABUL, Afghanistan — For more than a decade, wads of American dollars packed into suitcases, backpacks and, on occasion, plastic shopping bags have been dropped off every month or so at the offices of Afghanistan’s president — courtesy of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The U.S. invaded and occupied a whole country looking for 1 man.

That's obviously not true as dismantling an entire infrastructure was a part of the goal. Try learning some history before posting such nonsense.

The goal to afghans success is education, infrastructure, tech and science...Same as every other country.
