In a speech to the Royal College of Defense Studies, Prime Minister Gordon Brown charged the Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai of being incompetent. Prime Minister warned the president that he would lose Great Britain’s support if the situation in Afganistan did not begin to show some improvement.
The prime minister’s remarks were interpreted as denouncing Afganistan’s President Hamid Karzai and suggesting that the president was willfully not choosing to improve the positioning of the government’s control over terrorist factions in Afganistan.
Such a charge of corruption against the president caused many of the Prime Minister’s own foes in his government of to criticize the prime minister of blustering and making threats that the prime minister could not in effect carry out without their support.
The Prime Minister’s speech to the Royal College of Defense Studies was given on November 6, to mixed reviews from other interested parties in the government and elsewhere.
Gordon Brown On Afghanistan
It may not be prudent for the PM of UK to speak so oenly against Karzai who presently occupies the seat of Afghan presidency. But what he has said cannot be refuted. Ahmad Karzai has been accused of using unfair means in the last month election; his brother if not himself is known to be indulging in drugs trade and no one knows why Abdullah Abdullah stood down from elections.
Mr Brown is not wrong in saying that he will not sacrifice blood of British men and women to strut up a corrupt regime.
It is not going to take much long before Taliban would be kncking at gates of Kabul after the US-NATO troops leave Afghanistan. The people are going to welcome them back. It ha staken long enough time to know the worth of US-NATO and the man they support and also the Taliban are now more mature and wiser.
I believe Mr. Brown is getting tired of obama’s pussy-
footing and humming and hawing around. obama needs to
quit playing at being a proctologist and try being a
president. Sure, he was waiting to see if there would
be a stable government in place, now that there is he
needs to get his thumb out of his back end and get to
work and let General McCrystal have is 40,000 troops!
OOH-RAH!
