Karzai will mit Taliban reden "he offers talks"

"KABUL, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday described peace as the utmost demand of the Afghan people, saying he would repeat his offer for talks with the Taliban to ensure durable peace in the war-torn country"

He only wants the money.

Karzai is accountable for any corruption

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is defending his new Cabinet picks, saying he and the ministers will be held accountable for any corruption.

Some Afghan lawmakers are criticizing the president's decision to keep a former warlord (Ismail Khan of the Energy Ministry) accused of human rights abuses, and to nominate others linked to regional power-brokers and corrupt officials.

Critics also are complaining that the new Cabinet includes only one woman and no opposition members.

I will keep this phrase now forever:

"Afghan President Hamid Karzai is defending his new Cabinet picks, saying he and the ministers will be held accountable for any corruption."

How can corruption eliminate corruption?

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has welcomed Afghan President Hamid Karzai's nomination of the new cabinet.

"I share President Karzai's view that the Afghan people deserve an effective government characterized by integrity and professionalism and welcome his stated commitment to fighting corruption," Rasmussen said on Sunday.

The NATO secretary general added that his organization would continue to assist Afghanistan and its new government. He also hailed the Afghan president's commitment to fighting corruption


I couldn't believe what Rasmussen said when I read this article. You can call me a conspiracy theorist, but this! is clearly a concpiracy. Every politician and Afghan knows that Karzai is corrupt himself as he uses his position so that his family can benefit from it. Karzai's brother gets the protection from him and continues peacefully his drugs business. Why is Rasmussen not mentioning this? Karzai himself needs to be exchanged in order to stop corruption. Karzai is corruption. What will corruption do in order to eliminate corruption? It will only act. But the truth is that this government is a puppet government. So battleing corruption within a corrupt system is a paradox itself. How can't this be a conspiracy by all the politicians? The true politicians have nothing to say. If they try, then they get punched out. Despite this, some of his Ministers are still accused of corruoption and one even of Human rights abuses.

Does anyone understands this?

An agreement on handing over of eight acre land by the Afghan government to Canadian embassy was signed in Kabul by the Afghan Minster of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Rangeen Dadfar Spanta and the Canadian ambassador.

What is the reason that the canadian government gets this much land? By the way, eight acre land is equal to 32376 m².

Did you know that the Afghan Minister of Foreign Affairs, "Dr". Rangeen Dafdar Spanta is accused of corruption? He is on a list with 14 other ministers accused of corruption. Karzai has now (19. December 09) presented his new cabinet.
