Well, we're sure no one will take this the wrong way. Last night Donald Rumsfeld savaged the Obama administration's handling of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who yesterday came out in support of Russia's Crimea invasion. "Our relationship with Karzai and with Afghanistan was absolutely first rate in the Bush administration," Rumsfeld told Greta Van Susteren at Fox News. "It has gone downhill like a toboggan ever since the Obama administration came in." Then he dropped the money quote that's drawn lots of attention:
One can make a strong case that a trained Ape is much smarter than Donald Rumsfeld. That corrupt ass kissing little ingrate that people like Rumsfeld put in as their Quistling in Kabul is an insult and spits in the face of every American who has had the misfortune of laying down their lives to keep that little weasel in power. Don't worry about little Mohammed, with the billions he has stolen with the acquisence of people like Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush he can live like a king in Dubai or someo ther oil sheikdom that will have him.
It takes a war criminal to be quoted in the "news" years after illegal wars. He's always smiling happily on "Meet The press" too. Must be nice to have no conscience about what you have done to the nation, and the world actually.
Absolutely...Rummy is one of the amoral thugs whose trail of carnage goes back to the Nixon goon squad. It's always the same crew: Cheney; Rumsfeld; Elliott Abrams; Karl Rove. Hopefully Dante has a special circle of hell awaiting them.
First rate relationship (aka :business as usual') - according to Rummy
Hamid Karzai has acknowledged that the CIA has been secretly delivering bags of money to his office since the beginning of the war more than a decade ago.
The money is allegedly used to buy loyalty — that of Karzai and the people he doles the cash out to. Karzai said he has received "small amounts" of money from the U.S. and he's grateful for it.
But many politicians, pundits and people on the street aren't so happy about the secret stash.
Political analyst Bashir Bezhand is among them.
Speaking to a news anchor on Afghanistan's Tolo TV, Bezhand said it is a "scandal" and an "insult" to the people of Afghanistan. He said Karzai should answer publicly for what many consider a crime: receiving tens of millions of dollars in ghost money from the CIA, much of which has gone to family, cronies, politicians and warlords, according to sources who spoke to The New York Times.
That was a classic low point in our history; I'm glad you remembered it. These chicken hawks never tire of sending the sons and daughters of America to die or be forever scarred in order to line their pockets. That seems to be just fine with their supporters, which is perverse. Their war machine is like a giant meat grinder being constantly stuffed with our kids. When will enough be enough?
