Been on the ball for some time now.

Karzai Kills CIA Coup Attempt

I think they have wanted him out for a
long time, but only now is it outing.

"Karzai is said to doubt the West can defeat Taliban; Some say he has had secret negotiations" by Dexter Filkins, New York Times | June 12, 2010

KABUL, Afghanistan — Two senior Afghan officials were showing President Hamid Karzai evidence of a rocket attack on a nationwide peace conference earlier this month when Karzai told them that he believed the Taliban were not responsible.

“The president did not show any interest in the evidence — none — he treated it like a piece of dirt,’’ said Amrullah Saleh, then the director of the Afghan intelligence service.

Oh, the CIA's MAN in Afghanistan??!?!

I wouldn't trust the "evidence," either.

Saleh declined to discuss Karzai’s reasoning in more detail. But a prominent Afghan with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Karzai suggested in the meeting that it might have been the Americans who carried it out.

Yeah, to SEND a MESSAGE to him!

I wonder which Blackwater thugs were contracted by the CIA to carry out the attack.

And even if it was "Taliban," WTF, America?

Minutes after the exchange, Saleh and the interior minister, Hanif Atmar, resigned — the most dramatic defection from Karzai’s government since he came to power nine years ago. Saleh and Atmar said they quit because Karzai made clear that he no longer considered them loyal.

They were FIRED and Karzai wants to survive politically as well as physically.

But underlying the tensions, according to Saleh and Afghan and Western officials, was something more profound — that Karzai had lost faith in the Americans and NATO to prevail in Afghanistan.

And yet when Karzai came here a month the MSM shoveled the kumbaya s***.

For that reason, Saleh and other officials said, Karzai has been pressing to strike his own deal with the Taliban and the country’s archrival, Pakistan, the Taliban’s longtime supporter.

"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."

Strange how the AmeriKan MSM consistently misses that.

Looks like you are up next for attack and occupation, Pakistan -- what with the U.N. sanctions blunting the drive to war against Iran for now.

According to a former senior Afghan official, Karzai’s maneuverings involve secret negotiations with the Taliban outside the purview of American and NATO officials.

Oh, HE went behind THEIR BACK, huh?

That's a SWITCH!!!

“The president has lost his confidence in the capability of either the coalition or his own government to protect this country,’’ Saleh said in an interview at his home. “President Karzai has never announced that NATO will lose, but the way that he does not proudly own the campaign shows that he doesn’t trust it is working.’’

Ahem!!

"Locals say the insurgency is on the rise"

And what does my newspaper tell me?

"There has been little new fighting"

"We are absolutely not winning this war in any measurable way" -- Wake the Flock Up

And the AmeriKan MSM's job?

Conceal that fact through censorship and s*** journalism.

************************

Karzai could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Translation:

He didn't want to talk to the AmeriKan MSM.

If Karzai’s resolve to work closely with the United States and use his own army to fight the Taliban is weakening, that could present a problem for Obama.

Maybe CIA and its allies will have to kill him like they did Diem.

The American war strategy rests largely on clearing ground held by the Taliban so that Karzai’s army and government can move in, allowing the Americans to scale back their involvement in an increasingly costly war.

So reports my lying, war-promoting newspaper anyway.

Relations with Karzai have been rocky for some time, and international officials have expressed concern in the past that his decision-making can be erratic.

Don't worry, readers; Karzai understands the clues my MSM is leaving you.

When the AmeriKan MSM begins turning on an ally WATCH OUT!

Maybe a "Taliban" bomber may finally pierce that security detail.

Last winter, Karzai accused NATO in a speech of ferrying Taliban fighters around northern Afghanistan in helicopters.

I WOULD NOT BE the least bit surprised!

Earlier this year, following criticism by the Obama administration, Karzai told a group of supporters he might join the Taliban.

Oh, yeah, Krazy Karzai!!

He backed off that quick, or so we were told here.

American officials tried to patch up their relationship with Karzai during his visit to the White House last month.

Translation: We warned him about cozying up to China, Iran, and Taliban.

Indeed, on many issues, like initiating contact with some Taliban leaders and persuading its fighters to change sides, Karzai and the Americans are on the same page.

Yes, the MSM can not drop the cover story too quickly or they will really look like the outrageous shit-spinners they are.

But their motivations appear to differ.

The word that proved it.

The Americans and their NATO partners are pouring additional troops into the country to weaken hard-core Taliban and force the group to the bargaining table.

Meanwhile, Karzai has been seeking to build bridges to the Taliban for months.

And at EVERY TURN the U.S. is sabotaging it.


Earlier this year, the president’s brother held secret meetings with the Taliban’s deputy commander, according to a former senior Afghan official.

Yeah, so?
