Karzai May Need Drug Rehab

Peter Galbraith, fired by the U.N., is a major Hamid Karzai critic. Lately, Karzai has been ranting against the U.S., threatening to join the taliban. Just exactly how much money are we spending in Afghanistan?

Who really knows what's going on there, but after I saw this Al Jazeera video of Karzai's defense administer openly mocking Obama for his "over elaborated" decision on whether to send troops to Afghanistan as Stanley McChrystal laughed, I knew that something was awry in Afghanistan. Karzai appears to think of himself as entitled and he seems resentful that he's being held accountable by the Obama administration. He's not getting the free ride that he had under George Bush. Galbraith says Karzai may be a drug user.
Here's an update from Jake Tapper, following Robert Gibbs press briefing today:

Said Gibbs: "There are times in which the actions that he takes are constructive to governance. I would say that the remarks he’s made I can’t imagine that anyone in this country found them anything other than troubling.

"So our position on this, Jake, is that when the Afghan leaders take steps to improve governance and root out corruption, then the president will say kind words," Gibbs said. "When leaders need to hear stern language from this administration about the consequences of not acting, we’ll do that as well." more at ABC
