The White House said yesterday it would consider cancelling an upcoming visit by Afghan President Hamid Karzai scheduled for May 12 to D.C.
Since Afghan President Hamid Karzai made some remarks including his reported threat to join the Taliban if foreigners don’t stop meddling in Afghanistan, the White House isn’t sure if they should move forward with a planned meeting that may infuriate Karzai.
In an interview on MSNBC's "The Daily Rundown,” former UN envoy to Afghanistan suggested that Hamid Karzai has a drug problem. "He can be very emotional, act impulsively," said Peter Galbraith. "In fact, some of the palace insiders say that he has a certain fondness for some of Afghanistan’s most profitable exports." He didn't say the words opium or heroin, but the implication was clear.
