Is Washington stabbing Hamid Karzai in the back by holding meetings with the Taliban without the involvement of his government? According to this article from Pakistan’s Frontier Post, it’s probably too late for Karzai, who whether he knows it or not, has been nothing but a U.S. stooge since the fall of the Taliban.
The Frontier Post editorial says in part:
It should come as no surprise. For quite sometime, American media has been publishing leaks that the U.S. administration has been talking to the Taliban. But as the fog clears, an ugly reality has emerged from the haze. First – it appears that Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai hasn’t been part of the talks. The Americans may have told him they were in contact with the Taliban, but they’ve been keeping him out of the loop. That much is obvious after his angry public outburst the other day.
Sadly, Karzai has woken up too late to the great game that has been going on. Even though it has been true from day one, it is only now that he has spoken out, asserting that the occupiers are in Afghanistan for their own interests.
Altruism has never had much to do with foreign interventions. These are most often motivated by the self-serving interests of the interventionists, as the Iraqis have learned to their great distress. The increasingly lethal terrorist attacks in Iraq are in reality evil works engineered to raise political and public pressure for a prolonged stay by U.S. occupation forces, which are scheduled to vacate Iraq completely by year’s end.
