Now we get to 2004

Jack-handing his US Passport to the Chief of the Border Police at Kabul Airport in April 2004, where TASK FORCE SABER 7 was met by a HUGE entourage, which included the Chief of the Border Police, the Chief of Customs, The Chief of the National Police, The Kabul Police Chief, and one of Karzai’s brothers.
This is a picture of a meeting that occurred in May 2004, between the TOP Corps Commander Generals who then controlled each of the Corps Commands throughout Afghanistan. These are ALL Lieutenant Generals or full Generals at the time, and two are now governors, one is a deputy minister in charge of opium/heroin interdiction (working on a project and plan Jack introduced), and another is a top ministry of defense official now. From Left to Right:
1- Afghan CIA officer (required to be cropped out of picture before publication),
2) General Wassiq - Mazar,
3) Jack,
4) General Daoud - Kunduz & Taliqon,
5) General Atta - Mazar,
6) General Hazrat Ali - Jalalabad,
7) General Gulhaider- Southern Front command.
This meeting was to coordinate Jack’s operations throughout Afghanistan. ANYONE reading this should be asking plenty of questions-
- What planet was the press on when they were reporting this story about a renegade American working “outside” the government?
- Is there any possible way Jack and his guys were not working with the consent of the Afghan government?
- Is Karzai an American ally, or not?
- If he is not, then why are we sending him money?
- If he is, why are Jack and his guys (and a JOURNALIST) in prison?
- Exactly what is Karzai and his partner Khalilzad hiding?
- Could it have been the rigged elections Jack uncovered?
- Or the terrorists in the Karzai government?
- Or the plan to kill Karzai’s opponent, Yunis Qanooni?
- And why the hell isn’t the American government approving their release and getting behind these guys–particularly since they’ve been declared innocent of the charges??
Actually, I consider the direction this thing has taken to be a bigger PR nightmare than if the officials had just taken their hits and set a couple of people up to take the fall. There is absolutely no excuse for these guys to still be held at Pulacharke with absolutely no American backup, acknowlegement, or nod, particularly since it’s been revealed that Idema may be a pompous arrogant SOB, but he has the stuff to back it up.
He’s a legend as far as SF goes.

Why has President Bush ignored this case?Why is congress dragging its feet?Seeing that the state departmen is a big part of why these men are in the shape their in,Bush doesn’t come off to me anyway that he is serious about cleaning out the department,these people are not elected officials,they are careerist beaurocrats.And bad ones at that.It seems there has been entirely too much focus on protecting terrorist than it is to protect one of our guys.Personally,I would like to see an investigation of who is doing this railroading and undermining the morale of our troops in Afganistan and Iraq and when they are found guilty of this given them a firing squad or jail.

The answer to that is coming, Lisa, but here’s the short answer: somewhere along the way, the American government started supporting the Taliban. And Karzai is Taliban. That is why they’re postponing the swearing in of Parliament–because the Parliamentary elections were a sweeping victory for the Northern Alliance. Those are the people that the media have been complaining are “warlords”. Yes, they’ve been at war with the Soviets and the Taliban for 27 or more years. But they’re just as able to participate in the elections as the “elitist” Taliban–and the people spoke and now the NA holds the majority of seats.
That’s why the State Department is in a tizzy right now. It should be interesting to see what happens, but I think it’s also important to get the story out as to what’s REALLY GOING ON THERE. The media sure isn’t telling it–they’re still saying Karzai won the majority in the Parliament. Although the majority of them ran as “independent” I don’t know how long they can perpetrate that lie.
They tried like hell to bar the NA from participating as far as nominees are concerned–they barred over 40 people because they had “bore arms”. I can’t imagine how people could consider that an offense–most of the men who were elected to our first congress were members of the militia and fought in the Continental Army.
Gosh I love the idea of the firing squad…and putting people in jail for treason…things would be so much better if we didn’t consider treasonous acts “healthy dissent”.
