#1 Uh, I would make a comment about what happened to Najibullah when the Russians pulled out and left their puppet behind. But the last time I did that I was edited off and sent packing with my pathetic two cents worth.

Needless, nojob..uh Nutjobullah was found covered with cigarette burns ( we won't say where ) hanging by a telephone cable ( with a rather long tongue ) in the Lobby of the Defense Ministry, naked as a jaybird with about a thousand in Afghan singles placed decoratively in his butt crack.

Don't hit me. Don"t hit me. I am just telling you the truth.
I recommended that OUR puppet had better sign. He's NOT our puppet ? We didn't plug him in like an appliance from some restaurant in Baltimore ? Well, some puppets are better than others. Tell him to sign anyway.

#2 Karzi delaying the ~~mandate~~ process? Seems other leaders have no problem pushing stuff beyond the deadline (to avoid election time shocks).

#3 Don't sign, Hamid. See if I care. Just make damn sure your jet is all warmed up and ready to go on the runway before the last American leaves because I have a feeling your Taliban buddies might not be such great friends of yours after all. No, I don't believe that Mullah Omar will share the presidential palace with you. Or, you can go ahead and leave your jet in the hangar. Either way, see if I care.

#4 Spereting -

Najibullah and his brother were both hanged in public. Najibullah, if I remember correctly, was castrated first. We occasionally use his picture as a graphic when Hamid does something stoopid.

Hamid doesn't expect to be the one left holding the watermelon. He's going to depart immediately after the next Afghan election, probably with the national treasury in his luggage. Somebody else will get to dangle.

Personally, I hope it's Gul Agha Sherzai, but the Afghans haven't asked my opinion.
