Is Afghanistan an American colony?

Discuss.

Evidently, Kazai no features in US calculations. I would watch my back if I were him.

Its not about Karzai.

Its about simple diplomacy.

Its an act of aggression for a leader to enter another country (visiting troops) without visiting the Prez.

Yankee is behaving extremely arrogantly these days. After the wikileaks expose on the spying of UN officials, American military saying that British soldiers ae rubbish etc, one would imagine that America would not commit any more faux pas for the foreseeable future.

If you can't talk to neither your friends nor enemies, how can you broker influence?

Will it be a fair assessment to call your post Anti-western sentimental rubbish? (Insert rolleyes smiley here)


Here is the real crunch of the story that Ibime won't mention (See below)

But a planned trip to Kabul to meet President Hamid Karzai was cancelled because of stormy weather and difficult travel conditions.

The cancellation disappointed security analyst Michael O'Hanlon from the Washington-based Brookings Institute. "I think what I would have suggested is that the president spend the night in Afghanistan. Bagram Air Force base is quite safe. I do not think there is any realistic concern about him spending the night there. And then if the weather is good in the morning, take a helicopter to Kabul to see President Karzai and then come home," he said.


The two leaders did speak over a secure telephone link.

Now, the BOLD parts are the juicy bits.  While the part in ITALICS are nothing but an opinion of somebody.   Unfortunately, it appears Ibime is interested in the personal opinion than the facts of the matter.  Nice one sir.


Unless off course you are talking about another story I am not aware of.

You are missing a big chunk in the puzzle.
Lets put it another way; would you expect Obama to visit Menwith Hill in the UK and claim not to be able to see David Cameron because of bad weather?

Compare likes for likes, and not an orange with a table!

Afghan have security issues and it is not unheard of for the so called "Green Zone" to be shelled when important officials are known to be in town.

The roads are bad and not as good as the UK. London do not have taliban roaming around with Ak47 and RPGs etc. So I think it is an unfair comparison.

The point is, the opinion of one man is what Ibime is looking into while leaving out the full story.


I am not a fan of Obama, but did the link not made mention that he was in contact with the President of Afghan? Why was this left out and instead presented like it was something done deliberately to spite Karzai. When in actual fact, it appears the decision was based on security risk. Smh.

Also his thread title is not exactly a fair representation of the issue or is it? There is noting to suggest he "sneaked" into the country as it appeared that Karzai was aware he is coming.

It may be a surprise visit to the soldiers on ground, but surely the men who direct the war and the men obama will be meeting will be aware that a VIP is coming from Washington and in turn things like securing airways et al would have done with the Afghan authority and Karzai would be in the loop here. No?

So if u visit any state,u must c d governor?.

Yes o! How can you come to my house and go to my childrens room without seeing me, because the carpet in the sitting room was wet?

What a rubbish adage. Afghan is not your bedroom or your children.  I am sure to hell that planes do not fly over "wet carpet" either.

What a rubbish logic.

WHICH means he has no considerations the country and its leadership.

visiting the so called troops dat dey use to defend their intrest in the country
