In an interview last weekend, Mr Karzai told a Pakistani TV station: "If fighting starts between Pakistan and the US, we are beside Pakistan. If Pakistan is attacked and the people of Pakistan need Afghanistan's help, Afghanistan will be there with you."
He said his government would not allow any nation, including the United States, to dictate its policies.
The U.S. is currently spending $32 million per day in Afghanistan. Over 1800 American lives have been lost in the conflict. We have killed or captured Bin Laden and most other Al-Qaeda leaders. There is no further U.S. interest in the region, especially now that Karzai has aligned with Pakistan. The money we are spending could be put to better use in the U.S. helping veterans, creating jobs, and rebuilding infrastructure.
