Afghanistan turns to Iran for help, despite American promises
March 10, 2010

With the US struggling to control the Taliban, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has turned to Iran for help as his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is paying a visit.

During the talks with his Iranian colleague, President Karzai called the Iranian nation a "real friend" and promised further peaceful relations between the countries. The two leaders also discussed joint business projects, such as building a road linking Iran and Tajikistan through Afghanistan’s territory.

The US has called the visit worrying and accused Iran of undermining US and NATO efforts there. According to Reuters news agency, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said earlier this week that Iran was playing a "double game" in Afghanistan by being friendly to the government while trying to undermine the United States. Gates also said on Wednesday he had passed those concerns on to Karzai.

This just demonstrates what bi-partisanship with Republicans on foreign policy can accomplish. The war escalation is clearly working!

1. Bush's wars have only helped Iran.

.... a complete disaster.

And the biggest waste of money in this country's history.

15. Wasn't that Mr Bush guy someone who left office around January 20 2009?

And wasn't there some kinda rumor going on that there has been a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress since then?

So since those things were in place, I am not sure that you can hold Mr Bush responsible.

the warin Afghanistan's Obama's war, pure and simple.

2. The best case outcome is a good friend for Iran

I've been saying for some time, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, that even in the best case scenario, both of these countries end up being vaguely friendly to the US and the west, and they become very close to Iran in their attempt to dominate the region over Saudi Arabia.

How that is worth all the blood and money is beyond me.

5. Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Watch out for that BLOW-BACK in Iraq too ... it's going to knock the moneyed power elite within the Military Industrial Complex on their arrogant asses. :evilgrin:

"No, geniuses, you can't control every DAMN thing with your guns and bombs.

6. The headline is wrong

...It should read "Karzai turns to Iran for help, despite American promises." :D

Karzai is looking wherever he can, since his local support is fading faster than his US support.

Edited to add a space.

7. That's my caption based on the photos and is not intended to be a single website news headline.

The caption drives home the point shown in the photos.

The war isn't being won.

[Robb]

8. I see Karzai and Ahmadinejad

It drives my point home. Karzai is in trouble.

[Better Believe It]

9. He's going which way the wind is blowing!

[Robb]

10. He always does.

However, he's making his move too late. He will not be in power by this summer, I predict.

[Better Believe It]

11. So who do you think will be picked to replace him? Perhaps an opium capitalist?

[Robb]

13. I like Yasini

Fought Soviets and the Taliban. But Ashraf Ghani is more likely. Pashtun.
