I really don't know how we can be more stupid. Hamid Karzai said that once or twice a year, Iran gives them close to a mil for official presidential expenses and that Washington also provides bags full of money for the same official duties. You have got to be kidding me.
I don't even know how master spinner Holbrook (special envoy on Afghanistan) could spin this but he could. In addition to thinking he has been hauling the bags of cash to Karzai, to listen to him is tortuous. And why in the hell the Newshour (PBS) would have interview him is beyond me. Margaret Warner, who is really a good interviewer, would have to be embarrassed by Holbrook (President's rep on Afghanistan) or any government official trying to defend Karzai.
The story is again one of our utter idiocy. How any of them would not be mortified is beyond belief. Here's what is predictable and the MFer would say, "You have to understand the big picture. The bags of cash are for helping the president appear stable." Oh yeah, we get that! How about lining his pocket and those of his cronies.
