There was an incredible statement by the quisling Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, reported in the New York Times on November 26:
KARZAI: We have no other choice, we have no power to stop the planes. I wish I could intercept the planes that are going to bomb Afghan villages, but that's not in my hands.That's just heart wrenching and sickening. The U.S. can't stop the Taliban, so it just bombs villages (with a preference for weddings) and kills people dozens at a time. This is the definition of a tyrannical occupation.
Watching a little football today, I could not help but notice the Air Force recruitment ads. There is a scene in one where "pilots" are shown controlling "Predator" or "Reaper" drone aircraft. This is diabolical--it is promotion of careers in dropping bombs on people's heads from half way around the world--while making your own quisling leader of the people under attack cry for you to stop. What have we become?
Obama? You better do some serious rethinking of your proposed Afghan escalation.
