Hamid Karzai Interview - Dysfunction in Afghanistan

Hamid Karzai: 'I Didn't See a War in Afghanistan—I Saw a Conspiracy' - Mujib Mashal - The Atlantic

''It was not a mistrust. It was realization of a fact—of a true situation, of the fact on the ground. The fact on the ground was that the Afghan government was weak, that it had no capacity, that it had no means of movement, that it could not provide the president of the country with the information that related to the facts on the ground, that related to what the people felt and knew. So for me, it was one of my greatest successes—one of my greatest victories, if you can call it that, was my contact with the people. I bring to the information of the government things that have happened in the country, I tell them in the security meetings that well, you know, this has happened.''
