Afghanistan's Karzai frees from prison 88 jihadists who killed and maimed Western forces
Showing yet again which side he is on. "Afghan president to free scores of Taliban fighters: Karzai condemned over betrayal of British war dead," by Tamara Cohen for the Daily Mail, January 1 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):Britain has condemned the release of Taliban prisoners accused of killing and maiming Western forces in Afghanistan.
To the fury of the UK, the US and victims' families, president Hamid Karzai has freed 88 dangerous militants from a jail at Bagram, the former US air base run by the Afghan government.
The US wants them to be prosecuted and says 30 per cent carried out direct attacks that killed or wounded 60 coalition troops, and 40 per cent killed 57 Afghans, including police and security forces.
If Hillary, Kerry and Obama had shown any strength, it would be a Yes Sir!, No Sir! from Karzai. Instead, Karzai sees the USA for what it is, run by ineffectual posturing delusional children so he does whatever he wants to do.
Karzai's big mistake is that after they are done with us, the Taliban will start coming after him -- there is no appeasement.
