Team of Dingbats
Looks like it’s not just Dianne Feinstein who’s a card-carrying member of the Disloyal Order of Moonbatty Dingbats.
Are you sitting down?
So’s her old man (politically speaking):
Here’s one unsettling exchange with the Afghan chief of state sounding a tad displeased with his newbie presidential counterpart:
Zakaria: “Mr. President, how will you deal with the Obama administration because you did get on well with Bush. President Obama says that ‘Karzai has a bunker mentality.’ He has said that the Afghan government seems detached from what is happening in the rest of the country. Richard Holbrooke has made similar criticisms. Do you feel that these people — President Obama, Special Representative Holbrooke — do not understand what is happening in Afghanistan?”
Karzai: “I saw that statement and I was surprised to see that statement.
“About seven months ago, the U.S. embassy signed a multi-million dollar contract with our ministry of health — over $100 million I believe — because the ministry of health, according to the U.S. embassy, has done such a great service all over the country and is present all over the country. Our rural development program has reached 75% of Afghan’s 40,000 villages.
“We had schools in the country where we’ve never had schools in our history. We have roads in the country paved where we’ve never had roads in our history. The engagement with the Afghan population is so wide and so widely spread that we’ve never had in our history. And the U.S. government officials in Afghanistan know that.
“So I was surprised to hear that statement. Perhaps it’s because the administration has not yet put itself together. Perhaps they have not been given the information yet. And I hope as they settle down, as they learn more, we will see better judgment.”
Oh man, Obie, you just got goat-slapped! I mean but good.
And Karzai is right. How dare President Obama criticize any country’s government that was previously run by the Taliban. I know high school freshman boys with more judgement.
It’s time he got himself familiar with Afghanistan, since that’s where he’s sending our young men to fight and die. Put on your best safari suit and go amongst ‘em.
Here’s a publicity shot, GIs, so you’ll recognize him.
