Karzai's War - Afghanistan
Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
June 2003
Hamid Karzai's early attempts to restore security in Afghanistan are being hampered by the Taliban, who are using Pakistan as a base to launch further attacks.
In post-Taliban Afghanistan, politics remains a deadly business. The vice president and a cabinet minister have been murdered and Karzai himself narrowly escaped assassination. The most serious threat comes from a re-invigorated Taliban. They are distancing themselves from Al Qaeda and allying themselves with disgruntled warlords. Ahmed Rashid, one of the world's leading analysts of the Taliban, believes they are being covertly assisted by Pakistan: "The intelligence agencies have given freedom of movement and freedom of access across the border to the Taliban." In the madrasses of North West Pakistan, new Taliban graduates are still preparing to fight the Americans. The Taliban are remarkably well equipped with surface-to-air missiles, body armour and night-vision equipment. Another problem is that US officers simply don't trust the Afghan army or pro-Karzai militia. "A lot of the times you don't know who your friend is and who your foe is," complains Captain Mike Gonzales. Ordinary Afghans have seen little
evidence of the $5 billion aid promised and are unlikely to see much reconstruction while the country remains so unstable. If the issue of security is not addressed soon, experts like Rashid predict that the situation will only get worse.

we have always invited our afghans to return to their country, if they are not willing we dont give a fuck about traitors!
we are just talking about realities and dont confuse urself with so called israeli and indian bullcrap.
karzai didnt respond to the journalist coz this vid is an old one, and he expected that the pakis will go on with their responsibilty to deny their territory to be used against afg,as that didnt happen, we warned u, we sent our soldiers and will continue doing it to protect our citizens,soldiers and interests
the opium u grow finances terrorism,the root problem is in afghanistan.The traitors r not the real afghans,but fake ones who support warlords n their crimes against innocent afghans.
its not me who is calling the specific madrassa harvard of terrorists, its how they call themselves, other than that, since u dont know the language those dickheads are saying there,they are talking about fighting americans(obviously in afg) when they graduate! so dont act like an ostrich, u fool!
