Karzai is a Bush/Cheney Puppet. He is a direct pipeline to Cheney. He is their mole. They own him.

[David Zephyr]

I have asserted here at the DU for many years that Hamid Karzai, who was on Unocal's payroll, was in Cheney's secret energy meeting along with Ken Lay and others.

The Bush family and that KBR, Haliburton, Dresser Industries Cabal, have never seen a dictator that they did not love. And Karzai is their boy. They own him. Just as they have so many others.

They set them up and then they take them down when it suits them.

From the Bush Family's older chosen strongmen like Manuel Noriega and Saddam Hussein to their more recent choices like Ahmed Chalabi, Nouri al-Maliki and Hamid Karzai, these corrupt and ruthless creeps are rewarded until they lose favor.

I loathe when I see progressives still referring to the Saudi tyrants as "Royals". They are dictators and, again, dictators long in bed with the Bush Cabal.

Few people still understand that the "first Latino" that Jeb Bush put onto the Florida Supreme Court was Fulgencio Batista's grandson.

Why do I say all of this?

Because Obama was stuck with two Bush/Cheney puppets: Nouri al-Maliki and Hamid Karzai. Every move that Obama makes is reported back to Dick Cheney and that crowd. These two men are their moles. They planted them in power. They know who they report to. And they know very well what happened to Bush's other plants: Saddam and Manuel.

So, knowing all of this: Why in the fuck are we still in Afghanistan and Iraq with those two Bush/Cheney puppets still "in charge"?

President Obama is not obliged to "stay the course" (that would be the Bush/Cheney course). These are not his wars, they are Bush and Cheney's wars.

Get our troops out of there and stop the U.S. propping up these two Bush/Cheney strongmen.

5. Thanks.

It's true.

Bush and Cheney left their puppets behind. Obama can not trust either of the two men in Iraq or Afghanistan to deal straight with him. They are moles.

7. If Karzai is a Cheney Sleeper Cell, then you've answered your own question.

The danger of Cheney Sleeper Cell Karzai is NOT that "he reports information about Obama to Cheney".

The danger of Cheney Sleeper Cell Karzai is the ISI (a.k.a. George Tenet's bagmen of 9/11) and Pakistani nukes and a supply of (state-protected) Lone Gunmen Patsy Terrorists ready to die for Cheney's False Flags against Obama.

More importantly, and unanswered, is the question:

Who controls Afghanistan's poppy, source of majority-of-world's heroin?

Who controls this organized crime stronghold?

Is it the Bush Cartel?

Is Karzai the next-door-neighbor-with-loose-nukes who will let a few nukes slip into the hands of ISI/Al CIAQaeda/Cheney, should anyone threaten the Bush Cartel's control of Afghanistan poppy fields?

Obama is damned in Afghanistan if he stays, and damned if he leaves. Your oversimplification of the situation suggests you don't grasp his dilemma. He's FUCKED.
