Come on President Karzai, kick U.S. out. Please kick us out
It's painful to watch the venal, cynical, corrupt Afghan president Hamid Karzai keep poking a stick in the eye of the American war party over their goal of keeping soldiers in Afghanistan after December 31, 2014, end to the Afghan war. Karzai's term is up in April and he can't succeed himself. Apparently, he's going to keep stringing the US along so his successor will have to approve the extension or force America to finally leave the land we've been defiling for over 12 years now. The venal, cynical, corrupt American war party has, like it did before with Iraqi president Nouri al-Maliki, again met its match for mendacity in the insane world of senseless war. These puppet presidents we install to maintain our fading Middle East influence, take our hundreds of billions, trillions actually, to line their pockets and those of their political cronies while our soldiers bleed and die and go crazy fighting a ludicrous wars virtually none of them believe in. When we threaten to leave, they tell us to not let the door hit our backsides on the way out.
The American public ignores these wars like the plague their are. 75% are against the Afghan war and 57% don't believe it should ever have been fought. They are so right on both counts. The US wants to stay in Afghanistan for another ten years starting January 1, 2015, so it can continue its murderous drone warfare against anyone it deems worthy of summary execution. America's war mongers are immune to any guilt or agony over the thousands of innocent men, women and children they've murdered in these illegal bombings.
Meanwhile, the strongest supporters of this military madness grandstand back home about the need to cut a few billion here and a few billion there from the social safety net. They won't spend a dime on our crumbling infrastructure. These gas bags worship at the God of Big Oil and Gas and scoff at even trying to save our dying planet by supporting renewable energy. They denigrate education. They exploit the labor of the undocumented to puff up their stock portfolios; then demonize them to their yahoo constituents.
Come on, President Karzai. Tell Uncle Sam to take a hike and put his trillions back in the good ol' USA where it won't cause needless death and might just turn around a country floundering in mayhem and malaise.
