Obama Investigates Former Friend.
Obama is ordering a National Security team to investigate the slayings of thousands of taliban fighters. The murders came at the hands of an exceptionally accomplished Afghan Warlord, General Abdul Rashid Dostum. General Dostum has been allied with the U.S. for some time. I recall that when Obama was in congress General Dostum was the first person in line to meet with the Illinois Senator, before he even met with President Karzai.
We have been so chummed up with this warlord for so long, and now Obama acts like he didn’t know anything about it. Who cares if he killed a few thousand Taliban. We kill them every day. And they kill our guys every day. What good is his investigation going to do? Is he going to file charges against an Afghan warlord (actually we did take one into custody after we invited him to NY for a visit). But come on, this is bullshit. It’s just media crap that gives good headlines that look like he’s somehow investigating some Bush crime. So he can feed the far left a scrap.
In the real world people die. Sometimes a lot of them. And this particular warlord is noted for ruling with an iron fist, and fighting the Taliban since the Ruskies left.
