Karzai Wants US Troops to Reduce "Intensity"

[falcon]

Karzai is concerned that the US is carrying the fight to the Taliban. The Taliban is complaining to Karzai. He wants US troops to lay low.

Its time for the US to pull out of Afghanistan and leave the stinking place to Karzai, the religious nuts, the dope lords and the Taliban. The US should than patrol the place using lo yield nukes on Predator drones.

"The time has come to reduce military operations," Karzai said in the interview. "The time has come to reduce the presence of, you know, boots in Afghanistan ... to reduce the intrusiveness into the daily Afghan life."

Karzai also said he met with one or two "very high" level Taliban leaders about three months ago, but described a peace process in its initial stages — one that amounts to little more than "the exchange of desires for peace." He said, however, that he believes Mullah Omar has been informed of his discussions.

He said the Taliban share his feeling that the nine-year-old war has taken too high a toll on the people of Afghanistan.
"They feel the same as we do here — that too many people are suffering for no reason," Karzai said. "Their own families are suffering."

In the past three months, more than 300 insurgent leaders have been captured or killed, more than 850 lower-level militants have been killed and at least 2,170 foot soldiers have been apprehended.

I am all about us getting out and staying out. We are not doing anything worth while except running up a national deficit. I am retired military and feel this is just a bunch of political hub bub.

Bring our troops home!

The whole freaking area east of Iraq and west of India is deserving of high-yield... If you're gonna go, go big!

I kind of agree....our troops are the best in the world at one thing...destroying anything they are told to destroy. We are
not doing that...the war is half-hearted and they're not being
allowed to work to their full potential, which results in a high
national debt and more body bags than are necessary. There
is not commitment by the admin to prosecute this war
effectively and with finality. Get us the heck outta there.
