Karzai Denounces U.S. In Farewell Speech While Thanking China and Iran

• jonathanturley.org

Outgoing Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai denounced the United States in his farewell speech and insisted that, despite tens of thousands of wounded and dead American service personnel (and over a trillion dollars in aid), the United States has been a curse upon his country. Instead Karzai showered praise on Iran and China as great allies for Afghanistan. This is the man who the CIA openly gave regular suitcases of cash to and led a government where billions simply disappeared.

 The Obama Administration insisted on the money continuing to flow into Karzai's pockets even as he attacked the U.S. and Americans as "demons", and moves to shift alliances to Iran and China.
