Karzai sworn in as Afghan leader; vows to fight graft
Edited on Thu Nov-19-09 03:11 PM by lib2DaBone
Well shut my mouth and slap your Grandma'....

Does that mean his brother will no longer be on the CIA payroll?

Or does that mean the U.S. will no longer give arms and money to both sides?

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Wednesday he hopes to bring the war to an end before leaving office.

There are now nearly 110,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan, including 68,000 Americans -- more than half of whom arrived since Obama took office. Obama is now deciding whether to fulfill his commander's request for tens of thousands more.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari were among dignitaries attending the ceremony in an ornate hall in Karzai's sprawling Kabul palace.

Outside, the capital was all but a ghost town, with police shutting down streets and ordering citizens to stay home.
