The firing of General Peter Fuller for remarks he made about Hamid Karzai, shows just how preposterous and deluded is our presence in Afghanistan. Having propped up Karzai’s corrupt regime for eight years now, the United States has the right to expect that the man at least behave like our own S.O.B.. For Fuller to point out that Karzai doesn’t always kowtow to his minders, and sometimes says things for political reasons that anger his palace guard, should not be considered a reason for dismissal.

Instead, some of Mr. Karzai’s ramblings ought to be taken seriously in Washington as reason to reconsider our policy there, and speed up the U.S. withdrawal. The man would not last a minute without us, and really ought to mind his mouth for fear that there wouldn’t be a seat for him on the last conveyance out.
