Ian WhiteAfghan President Misses the Golden Days of the Bush Era

Hamid Karzai, the puppet president of Afghanistan, is apparently longing for the days when his buddy George Bush was in office. The appointed overseer of ethnic cleansing-I mean democracy, laments that he's been consumed by anti-U.S. conspiracy theories, and is convinced American officials are now working against him. This information was obtained in a Diplomatic Cables leak from July 2009, the deadliest month for foreign troops since the initial invasion in 2001. On July 7, when Ambassador Karl Eikenberry met with Karzai, the Afghan president claimed to miss the early days of Bush, calling it the "golden age."
According to Karzai, he would like for U.S. forces to again be able to drive their humvees through villages, greeted warmly by villagers who would shout, 'Good morning, Sergeant Thompson.'
Well I'm sure they'd love to go back to the time when their country wasn't being invaded, before their loved ones were being killed by predator drones and air strikes. Before they were dragged off to illegal holding facilities for fitting vague descriptions of "terrorists."
How out of touch can you possibly be? In the time period he's referring to, the security and reconstruction drifted and declined due to lack of resources and a comprehensive strategy. Karzai was even convinced that Obama administration officials were helping his challengers, including Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, rather than helping him in his bid for reelection.
So we really get to the heart of the matter. He only cares about the power Bush dumped into his lap for being an American stooge. Karzai could care less about all the people dying, he's just upset that Obama isn't blowing him. I guess the vague idea going into Afghanistan, before digressing to Iraq, was to avenge an attack bankrolled by Saudi money, executed by saudi hijackers. But then it turned into another crusade to bring a brown country Jesus and Coca Cola.
If you love George Bush so much, how about you become his roommate? You missing your bff shouldn't factor into your "job" as "president."
Because we don’t romanticize the days when spending went through the roof on bills benefiting the rich, where the military-industrial complex kicked into overdrive, when education was buried, when the English language was butchered, stem cell research was halted, alternate energy was ignored, spies were outed, regulation was thrown out the window, and a city was allowed to drown.
Once again, thanks to Julian Assange for helping paint the picture of foreign policy.
