The most ridiculous actor in the fictitious US withdrawal from Afghanistan is not President Hamid Karzai, the hustler the US installed as its puppet after the American invasion in 2001. The real clowns in this charade are those Americans that pretend to believe President Obama when he says the US war in Afghanistan will end on the last day of next year. Obama is, of course, lying through his teeth. The United States and its NATO allies plan to keep 10,000 to 16,000 troops in the country, occupying nine bases, some of them set aside for exclusive American use – and would remain there at least ten years, through 2024. Shamelessly, Obama claims these troops – including thousands from the Special Operations killer elite – will have no �œcombat” role. It�™s the same lie President Kennedy told in 1963, when he called the 16,000 US troops then stationed in Vietnam �œadvisors,” and the same bald-faced deception that Obama, himself, tried to pull off, unsuccessfully, in Iraq – until the Iraqis kicked the Americans out. Barack Obama has arrogated to himself the right to redefine the very meaning of war, having two years ago declared that the 7-month US bombing campaign against Libya was not really a war because no Americans were killed. In Afghanistan, Obama waves his semantic magic wand to transform the past 12 years of war into 10 more years of not-war, simply by changing the nomenclature.
