A Rousing Failure of State

The appeasement mentality of the Obama administration is "coming home to roost" in the form of a relations breakdown with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Karzai accused the United States of "meddling" in his country's affairs after three Afghan women were accidentally killed in an anti-insurgency operation. Since Karzai's fraud-ridden election concluded with Karzai pronouncing himself the winner, he has blamed the West and the US in particular for interfering with Afghan politics.

He made a thinly veiled threat that if the Obama Administration didn't stay out of his political business, he could see a possibility of Taliban resurgence and a possible political alignment between his administration and the Taliban.

During his campaign and after he was elected, Obama railed against the George W. Bush for focusing on Iraq, and promoted a buildup of forces in Afghanistan. Its clear that Obama's inexperience handling foreign affairs places a greater risk on the security of American citizens both here and abroad. It would be a failure of epic proportion if Karzai switched sides.
