Exit fees and taxes.  Fark them, given what we've spent in blood and treasure already.  Time to take off and nuke the site from orbit.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Whatever gets us out quick, RFN, is the right thing.

And never nation-build again.

If a nation-state or tribal/social entity presents itself as a threat, kill it with (nuclear) fire.  Then occupy, sow the earth with salt, and kill the remaining resistance.  Leave.

The end.

Someone should remind that lump of excrement that the United States set him up as President and that even mongrel dogs learn not to bite the hand that feeds them.

After the US/NATO leaves, he should keep his private jet idling at all times ready for a quick take-off.  I suspect his government will end up controlling maybe 30 miles radius of the capital city, and probably not for all that long.  If I was him, I would have an exit plan and hire enough private military contractors to make sure the exfiltration works.

Anyone who expected different from Karzai, knowing his history within the past 40 years in that country, is kidding themselves

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

The only reason he's doing this is because we're going along with it and letting him do it.

Kickbacks, anyone?

He needs the cash for the exit plan.

I'll bet he beats us out by a bit. He'll prolly demand a US Army transport to the airport. He doesn't trust the ANP/ANA any more then we do.
