Springtime in July: Karzai calls on Mullah Omar to Run For President
I’m still in the cave, finishing a book about the “Arab Spring.” That’s why I couldn’t help but catch a post by my pal Diana West, who notes a Los Angeles Times report about the redoubtable President Hamid Karzai, our ”partner” in the “Islamic democracy” of Afghanistan — the one where apostates from Islam are put on capital trial and 19-year-old rape victims, after being convicted of having sex out of wedlock, get their 12-year prison sentences commuted if they marry their rapists.
Seems that after over a decade of American soldiers putting their lives on the line to prop up his sorry regime so that Afghans can live in, er, freedom from “violent extremists” like the Taliban, Karzai is proposing that Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban, run in the next presidential election. Seriously:
President Hamid Karzai had a suggestion Thursday for Mullah Mohammad Omar, the fugitive leader of the Taliban movement: Run for president if you want.
The Afghan leader, speaking at a news conference, urged the Taliban chief to embark on negotiations with his government and take part in the political process. He said Omar and his “comrades” could set up a political party and that Omar himself could become a candidate for office if he wished.
“If people vote for him, he can take the leadership,” Karzai declared. Afghanistan’s next presidential elections are scheduled in 2014.
Karzai also said that Omar could visit Afghanistan “anywhere he wants,” but added,“He should put the gun down.” Renouncing violence is a condition for Taliban who wish to join government “reintegration” programs intended to draw fighters away from the battlefield.
In inviting Omar to run for office, it was not clear whether the Afghan president was speaking rhetorically — as he once did when he threatened to join the Taliban.
Happy spring!
Obama’s “smart diplomacy” is no doubt encouraging this perfidy. The rabid hyena Omar lays down with the child-rapist Karzai – and the US declares victory.
Muslim Filth. Why we didn’t carpet bomb the paymasters, organizers, and religious authorities whoc sponsored 9/11 from 30,000 feet, eludes me. That would include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qattar, and Bahrain – all the nations that sponsored 9/11. They were so full of themselves, and felt themselves insulated from repercussions, that the top three sponsors of 9/11 (outside of Afghanistan), refused to even sever diplomatic ties with the Taliban until it was clear America would attack. It took Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Pakistan, three months to sever diplomatic ties with the one-eyed scam Omar…
And we haven’t dropped a bomb on one of those nation’s leadership or terror infrastructure. Well I qualify that: we have taken out a couple low level Muslim scum in Pakistan once or twice, but only in recent years, and supposedly by accident. A few dozen Pakistani terrorists, ER military soldiers were killed, and we paid Pakistan hundreds of millions extra for the privilege.
Morton, try not to be an idiot, will ya? Karzai is stupid enough.
Actually, current events and analysis based on Wikileaks suggest that in matters such as Iran, Bahrain and MB in Egypt, the leadership of KSA is acting in a way more consistent with US interests than the present administration.
But if it makes you feel better to call for carpet bombing everybody and everything then enjoy yourself …
Actually, it’s hard for me to blame Kharzi, given that the current US administration is bugging out and leaving him between the ISI and IRGC.
