Latest Night Raid Carnage - Karzai Demands Explanation

Two women among the dead in this latest bungling massacre. How many of these incidents do we never hear about.
Hamid Karzai’s office said two other members of Sameh Jan Sherzad’s family were also detained in the operation in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday in eastern Wardak province’s Chaki Wardak district. The statement said NATO must say what actionable intelligence it had that led to the raid on the former lawmaker’s family.
The U.S.-led coalition has grappled with fallout from other such raids in the past, but insists such operations are necessary to cement security gains in the war-ravaged nation and to target key insurgents. Full story.

  1. Karzai's demands are a joke.
    The only demands that are of any importance. Are the demands of the Afghan people.
    Let them vote if the West should leave now.
    Or if they should leave at their own leisure.

  2. What does he expect NATO to say - we had the wrong house? But Karzai has to speak up or appear completely impotent. He's just trying to survive until he's out of office, if he doesn't break his promise.

  3. Does any one want to bet me a few cyber dollars that Karzai does not retire in Afghanistan? :-)

  4. I know from previous correspondence, Rz, that you are aware of the number of Afghan Presidents and leaders whose terms of office were cut short.
