The fact Karzai is a friend of Bush and worked in with oil companies like Bush. And who becomes leader of Afghanistan, Karzai..... He is just as corrupt. The fact the elections were a complete fraud for his reelection went totally under the radar. It is very disconcerting that all the leaders and the secretary general of the UN all congratulate a CORRUPT leader. I don't hear praises to Kim Il-sung, To heads of state of Myanmar. Where is the consistency? Oh yeah, that's right Afghanistan is a new American project and everyone has to please America's efforts there. Russia is pleading with America to spray the poppy fields. Others plead with the British government to do the same. The poppy fields are a source of income for their governments. There are photos circulating the internet with US soldiers and humvees amongst fields of those drugs doing nothing. These lands have been used for selling drugs since the East India Trade Company. Remember how China was buried under opium by the British? So do NOT expect a puppet of America to stop corruption which that is what they are and the drug trade a key income for the Anglo-American empire.

Could it be possible their is a link between Karzi, Sakashvilli (Georgian Head), Sardizi (Pakistan Head), etc. It seems they all have been given many Tens of Billions of Dollars by the United States. Has any one checked the paper trail of this money? It seems this is similar to Tony Blair or Bill Clinton being paid Many Millions of Dollars by Entities and Countries they have given their Country's money via Foreign Aid, etc. - Our American Dollar continues to be worth less and less; it is reported we have no inflation in our Country (U.S.) but one only has to go to the store and buy groceries for a price shock. Our country it seems will never be able to recover what it has lost in lives and money for the people in charge, remain in charge, through every administration. Good Luck to all in the coming New Year.
