The dumb Obama administration has threatened to do what President Hamid Karzai has been asking for; pull out all U.S. personnel.  Obama was trying to play tough with Karzai, who recently refused to continue with post 2014 troop level negotiations after it was revealed that Obama was negotiating directly with Mujahideen for peace, without involving the Afghan government.  If anybody’s been following my Afghan updates, they would know that Karzai has been demanding full withdrawal of U.S. forces for several years now.  He says the U.S. is the reason for the ongoing violence in Afghanistan.

On the same day, the Mujahideen closed their office in Doha, Qatar.  It’s was that office that was revealed to be the place where Obama officials were going to talk peace with Mujahideen.
