Karzai's vision of sugar plums & Taliban

This blog set to diaplay 20 days of posts. Sorry Blogspot only shows 3 days, waiting for a Google fix, G

Karzai loosing it?

Or ulterior motive?

Playing the Great Game?

The President of Afghanistan

wants the US to back down on

attacks on the Taliban.

According to Karzai, these raids 

which in the last three months have 

killed or captured 368 mid-level 

Taliban leaders and killed 968 foot 

soldiers are counterproductive 

because they antagonize the civilian 

population. 

The attacks antagonize the Taliban.

Who are turning violence loose

on the population. Who are asking

Karzai to slow down the US forces.

Karzai said that the US has been unable to 

bring peace to Afghanistan or to secure 

cooperation from Pakistan, which continues 

to give sanctuary to the Taliban.

Pakistan denies U.S. request to expand drone access

His single overriding aim now is making peace 

with the Taliban and ending the war—and 

he is convinced it will help resolve all the 

other problems he faces, such as corruption, 

bad governance, and the lack of an administration.

He wants an immediate end to the night raids 

conducted by US Special Operations forces

in the South where in the past 3 months the

Taliban have incurred huge losses.

Karzai also maintains that there is a political 

alternative to NATO, The Taliban?

Iran has stepped up its support to the 
Taliban in western Afghanistan in recent months,
maybe in response to stuxnet, and damage 

to its nuclear program.

Pakistan, where the entire leadership of the 

Taliban is based, wants a leading part in any 

talks that NATO or Karzai may have with the 

Taliban. Yet Karzai said that in the last six 

months neither Iran nor Pakistan has provided 

any substantive support to facilitate peacemaking.

It seems clear the Taliban has filled his head

with fantasy's of a peaceful Karazi / Taliban

government if US would just leave and quit

killing Taliban.

Till then the Taliban plan to keep killing

civilians and blaming the US.

And Karzai is buying.

The Taliban impatience seems to stem

from the US changing the withdraw date

from 2011 to 2014 .

The Taliban think they can withstand the

US onslaught till 2011, but doubt they

can stand till 2014, and are bring all

the pressure they can bare against

Karzai and the Paki Gov.

Taliban's new Game Plan 

a snit of convulsing acerbic fanaticism

The Taliban know they are in trouble

and are pulling out all the stops

to try and circumvent the US 

Kill Taliban program.

Big secret push to end the Taliban.

Currently the Taliban know they have

 to end or slow the US kill

program, or they are in deep trouble.

And this is their alternate plan to 

real negotiation, mean while filling

Karzai's head with visions sugar plums 

and tea. Waiting for US to leave

so they can kill Karzai and take over.

Guy Karzia was talking to wasn't Taliban leader, but impostor.

Karzai is burned out, and looking

for an easy way out, not knowing

it means his death.
