The last thing we should be doing is keeping our forces in that godforsaken country to keep that dirtbag Karzai in power.

Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) went to Afghanistan this week to sit down for a “long lunch” with President Hamid Karzai and discuss the bilateral security agreement he has refused to sign to the disappointment of the Obama administration.
“We don’t’ want to see a repeat of Iraq, where we left completely, seeing Iraq descend into chaos…we don’t want that to happen here,” McCain told Afghanistan’s Tolo News, adding that he thought progress was made and Karzai might sign it soon.
Karzai has insisted that signing of the agreement can wait until after April presidential elections, while Washington wants the pact inked now. Karzai is ineligible to run for another term.
“There is a time sensitivity here; the longer we wait on the BSA, the more it benefits the Taliban, the more benefit it is to the enemies of democracy and the Afghan people in my view,” McCain said. “I think it’s very important that our differences be resolved and the BSA be signed as soon as possible, and I mean this month.”
