‘The top US commander in Afghanistan has fired a senior officer from his job as the No. 2 general in charge of training for making inappropriate public remarks about Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his government……
Gen. John Allen issued a statement Friday saying that Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller has been relieved of his duties as deputy commander for the Afghan training mission.
In a recent interview with the website Politico, Fuller characterized Afghan leaders as erratic, ungrateful and isolated from reality. The interview quotes him as saying Afghan leaders do not recognize fully America’s sacrifices on their country’s behalf.
Referring to President Hamid Karzai’s recent remarks that Afghanistan would side with Pakistan if Pakistan should go to war with the United States, Fuller was quoted as calling the comments “erratic,” adding, “Why don’t you just poke me in the eye with a needle! You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m sorry, we just gave you $11.6 billion and now you’re telling me, I don’t really care?” source
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

If I were running the show Karzai would find himself suddenly lacking in security forces.Lets see what his attitude is then.
The article above outlines perfectly a couple of things:
1) It is impossible to help any country where the 7th century death-cult of Islam is established – whether that be militarily, financially or with technical know-how. And if you do they will not thank you, but will simply view it as jizya owed them by default.
2) Anyone who points out the inadequacies of Islamist leaders and regimes, or of Islam itself will not be tolerated – even if completely accurate in their assertions. The politically correct Cultural Marxists in our midst are our enemy as much, or more than, as the Islamists sought on the subjugation and destruction of the West. Birds of a feather …
If it were only cowardice, we could scare them out of power.
This is love of death.
“This is love of death.’
Damn right Pascal – and that’s the key cultural difference between them and us. We have something to live for; they don’t.
General Patton suffered the same fate for his invariably accurate albeit it not PC comments. A soldier has first to survive the civilian commanders before he or she can destroy the enemy.
Self-sacrifice and gratitude are foreign concepts to this culture.
