Hamid Karzai: "When the Taliban and Al Qaeda and their backers were removed from Afghanistan within a month and half it was when there was no American forces on our soil. There were only perhaps 500 of them altogether and definitely not in the Southern parts of Afghanistan where the Al Qaeda and the Taliban had strong presence. It was the community that rose against them, that pushed them away and they left. Subsequent to that, from 2001, Afghanistan began to re-emerge as a country for all Afghans, while before that whoever was the government claimed total ownership of Afghanistan. If it was the Communists they said all is ours, if it was the mujahideen parties who came they fought among themselves and brought ruin to themselves and to the country and the Taliban of course was totally exclusionists. The Afghanistan of today is the Afghanistan in which all Afghans find their place. It is a place for all Afghans. So, that is the greatest achievement of the past decade of work."

he's working on the succession to his throne, whats he doing, painting targets on the backs of prominent candidates, none of whom have the Afghan peoples interests at heart, if anyone is under the presumption the west went in here to root out terrorism they are fools, history proves there is no winning in this country and any attempt at government is short lived as they're either nutjobs or western puppets, like this man.
