In that case we should be out of there before Iraq.

1. If we leave immediately...

Two things would happen:

1. Karzai's head would be separated from his body posthaste.

2. It would be a world-wide flood of Heroin.

2. Anyone who trusts Karzai is a fool

I have heard that Obama is pretty cool to him-smart.

19. Wouldn't it be cheaper and more effective to treat the addictions

rather than try to control the drug?

21. Afghanistan produces 80% of the world supply of heroin, already.

Poppy production exploded after the U.S. invasion. In 2009, it decreased slightly, but is again on the rise this year.

3. Caveat emptor. - K&R n/t

4. What if we nuked both places?

What would he do then?

[daleo]

5. How many nukes?

10? 100? 1000? Would the prospect of fallout bother you? Or mega-death?

China and Russia might look askance at nukes being blasted willy-nilly in their neighborhood. They might even object forcefully and reciprocally.

7. Nuke 'em all!!!

Let God sort 'em out.

[octothorpe]

10. I'M OUTRAGED!!

Some seem to think you're serious.

[daleo]

18. Joking about nuclear war is always good for a laugh. n/t

[octothorpe]

22. It seemed to me that the user was mocking those who make such simplistic and asinine comment

Something similar to what you might see if you watch The Colbert Report

[daleo]

23. It didn't seem that way to me

Your mileage may vary.

[chill_wind]

8. Yeah, that's the ticket.

:eyes:

[lib2DaBone]

6. Leave Afghanistan NOW! To hell with Pakistan....

[octothorpe]

9. Is this Karzai trying to protect himself for when the US and allies pull out of there next?

He has to stay there even once the world leaves

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said that if the United States and Pakistan ever went to war, his country would back Pakistan — a statement that contrasts with his harsh criticism of his eastern neighbor during U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's recent visit to Kabul.

12. F$%k Karzai...

[SkyDaddy7]

13. +1000 nt.

[No Elephants]

14. We can't even win the hearts of minds of those whose families we make wealthy.

[JCMach1]

15. Exactly, way past time to GTFO

[Bragi]

16. He isn't crazy, we are

Karzai is actually a lot smarter than leaders of the countries he has fooled into supporting him against the Taliban.

[Crowman1979]

17. That's it! Let's get out and take away this a-hole's taxpayer funded bodyguards.

[classysassy]

20. Not very smart of him

Most leaders in foreign countries that don't bow to American demands become former leaders or dead leaders.
