The Washington Independent: Karzai’s Popularity Slips in Afghanistan

    "an obscure lieutenant of the deceased anti-Taliban warrior, Ahmed Shah Massoud"

    Come on...You should try to learn Afghanistan history: Karzai was a representative of the "Jabbah e Melli", a pashto party held by Mojaddedi. He was the representative of the party in Pakistan during the soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Then, he held briefly a post in the government of Rabbani (where Massoud was defense minister), but withdraw, and in 1994, at the very beginning of the taleban movement, he even gave them some money ($50 000?). But he said that he saw at the end of the year that they were puppets from pakistani secret services, and decided not to help them anymore.

    He was never a lieutenant of Massoud. This is not some kind of Holywood movie like the one about Charlie Wilson. We're in the reality, a sad reality for afghans.

    What a load of shits these Afgan presidential maggots are; how evil is their regime including the f...ng Taliban. They are all murderers, traitors to theirt own people, corrupt to the utmost degree and deserve death. KILL ALL KARSAI SUPPORTERS AND TALIBAN SUPPORTERS, give back the country to sensible uncorrupted people, if you can find any anywhere in the world...you`ll have a job!
