Karzhai is reportedly hopping angry about the arrest of the “NumberTwo” Taliban chieftain being arrested in Pakistan last month.
Seems the “Free, Independent and Not A Washington Puppet” government of Kabul (and whatever other parts of Afghanistan happen to be occupied heavily at the time, but really, it’s just Kabul) (and sometimes not even Kabul) were negotiating with the Taliban Chieftain (and really, Washington Folks who monitor our blog and others like us, when you say out of one side of your face that the Taliban aren’t a centralized government and then say out the other side that they have a Set Heirarchy and chain of command, you’re lying at least once, M’kay? and some of us ARE smart enough to see the difference)
So, what then WAS the point of Washington Grandstanding in arresting somebody under a flag of truce? Not like it’s the first time the Army ever fired on a White Flag either.
Could it be that Washington doesn’t want Afghanistan to assert any authority of their own to make peace with Their Own People?
Did they fire on this particular White Flag in order to prolong the war which is only profitable for a very few… like the ones who set the policy up in the first damn place?
The ones who would have to find some other way or some other WAR to use as a conduit for syphoning Public Funds to their Private Pockets?
Cheney, perhaps? Erik Prince? Rove? Wolfowicz?
