Heroin Hamid's drug kingpin brother "Wally" and his CIA connection are causing President Obama to put "more troops" for Afghanistan on hold; the President has rejected ALL four troop deployment options presented to him by his National Security members.
Obama, who has received cables this week from his Ambassador to Afghanistan uring him to not send any more troops, until Heroin Hamid "cleans house," is reluctant to send any more troops to Afthanistan to prop up a corruption-riddled regime.
The U.S. ambassador in Kabul sent two classified cables to Washington in the last week expressing deep concerns about sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan until Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s government demonstrates that it is willing to tackle the corruption and mismanagement that has fueled the Taliban’s rise, said senior U.S. officials.
Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry’s memos were sent in the days leading up to a critical meeting Wednesday between President Obama and his national security team to consider several options prepared by military planners for how to proceed in Afghanistan. The proposals, which mark the last stage of a months-long strategy review, all call for between 20,000 to 40,000 more troops and a far broader American involvement of the war.
Eikenberry, of course, is no career diplomat. He commanded the Afghanistan war in 2006 and 2007 as a three-star Army general. Whether these dissents get walked back — or if they’re a ploy to pressure President Hamid Karzai — remains to be seen. But Eikenberry has a reportedly good working relationship with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the current commander, and would not file frivolous dissents.
