How dare Hamid Karzai make waves! How Rude!
Mr Karzai was due to meet with President Barack Obama at the White House on May 12.
Mr Obama extended the long-sought invitation during his own visit to Kabul late last month after telling Karzai and his cabinet that he was pleased with progress on anti-corruption measures and the fight against insurgents. At the time he stressed more needed to be done in both areas.
Here we go
“We certainly would evaluate whatever continued or further remarks President Karzai makes, as to whether that’s constructive to have such a meeting, sure,” (Robert Gibbs) added.
In other words, Hamid, STFU because Obama doesn’t know how to handle actual conflict like a President should.
Of course, the White House had to then walk Gibbs’ remarks back somewhat.
In Obama’s defence, Karzai is a little crazy.
Karzai is Ca-raaaaaaaazy, but Obama IS President Thin Skin… He picks his moments to act like a 2 yr old who didn’t get what they wanted, often when it’s best he did not act like a 2 yr old. This would be one of them.
Way to go Teach defending Crazy Karzai, who just said publicly that he may join the Taliban. And kudos and props for the foresight of preceeding US leaders in leaving behind such a great ally !
