Many Republicans and often even Democratic critics of President Obama
often tout his lack of bromance with corrupt, inept and ungrateful
Karzai as evidence of his "lack of leadership". They fail to admit the
obvious, Obama is the President of the USA, and his duty is to first and
foremost protect the interest of the USA, and not promote the ambition
of some back-biting "ally". When America finds a reliable ally, they are
the President's friend. When the "ally" is only self serving, or
promotes their personal ambition, even at the expense of the interest of
the USA, the President is obligated to treat such with the suspicion
and caution their attitude calls for.
Ghani has so far, at least from all the optics, demonstrated gratitude for the generosity of the US tax payers and the sacrifice of Americans and other NATO members, and continues to demonstrate a resolve the fix Afghanistan's woes. Time will tell if he's on the right course and if he becomes the Afghan's Ford, Lincoln, FDR, and Truman combined. A leader that heals his people and helps them build a prosperous post war future.
Afghan president says his nation won't be 'lazy Uncle Joe'
