Isn’t it embarrassing when a U.S. puppet ruler exposes the truth about U.S. policy when the government and its invading imperial armies want to keep that truth hidden?
Hamid Karzai, the Afghanistan president, announced today that the U.S. occupation of that country would be indefinite, or at least until 2024. Karzai said that nine U.S. military bases would remain in Afghanistan and active for years to come. He also said that he is constantly negotiating with the U.S. government about this occupation, and that these bases “would be given to them in return for security and economic pledges.”
After all, how could the U.S. leave Afghanistan when the profits of war dependent corporations are at stake, and there are more natural resources to plunder and more drugs to be distributed around the world by the U.S., its military and the CIA?
U.S. officials certainly don’t want this information to be announced to American citizens, even though this plan has been in place since last year. With all the talk by Obama of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, he certainly does not want the truth of the matter revealed to the “public.” That just exposes more of his and other’s lies.
Since U.S. officials have indicated, although not loudly, that only two bases were to remain in Afghanistan, Karzai’s unintended whistle-blowing has caused embarrassment to the administration. That is of course if any of these evil liars in that administration could be embarrassed. They certainly can be found out at times, but then the next round of spin will be forthcoming shortly, and the pathetic citizenry of the U.S. will go about their business of watching Dancing With The Stars and getting fatter!
