Afghan President Karzai accuses the U.S. of colluding with the Taliban

The President of Afghanistan wins this week's 'Bizarre Award' with rants and accusations questioning current U.S. motives in his country:
President Hamid Karzai leveled particularly harsh accusations against the United States on Sunday, suggesting that Americans were destabilizing his country, in a speech that cast a shadow over a visit by Chuck Hagel, the new US defense secretary. 
The sharp words came after weeks of the kinds of incidents that Karzai views as an affront to Afghanistan’s sovereignty — civilian deaths in airstrikes, accusations of abuses by US Special Operations forces, and most recently, the last-minute refusal by US officials to fully hand Bagram Prison into Afghan control because of disagreement about the continuing American role there.
Our falling heroes don't look like they're colluding Here.
Karzai’s criticism came at a morning news conference in honor of Women’s Day. He charged that the US government and the Taliban, while using different means, had in effect colluded to keep Afghanistan unstable in order to justify a continued US military presence.

  2. It caused instability all around the globe for U.S. to transform into a Communist dictatorship. Not fun for the entire planet. I am sad, Afganistan.
