President Hamid Karzai called on Saturday for control of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan.

"No operations inside Afghanistan should take place without the consultation of the Afghan government," the president said.



Old News, and most of the article is a non issue, about the Koran STORY.

Karzai himself said that the Newsweek story was not the issue..... "The violence was a political act directed against Afghanistan's stability", he said.

here

The other article gives short shrift to the Newsweek story also and focused instead on the details of continued abuse in Bagram airbase....

here's more


The report led Mr Karzai to insist that during his talks with Mr Bush he would request the handover of all Afghan detainees in US custody and also control over US military operations in Afghanistan.

I know you didn't intend this, Dogbytes, but for some reason I immediately thought of Pauly-poo when I read this article. Some old coot, constantly calling 911, even after being told not to do it anymore, then reacting in such a defensive/paranoid way when confronted--by golly, it must be Pauly-poo's Mom!

And you're right, DB, the proper thing would be to hospitalize them for observation. (Right or wrong, criminal charges are sometimes the only way to start the process of obtaining mental health treatment.)

IMO, she should have been taken in for 72 hours observation in a hospital setting. The legal aspects could have been sorted out later. But you did have another good point as well.

North Carolina Law does provide for a Police Officer to arrest any person deemed a threat to themselves and have them hospitalized for 72 hours.

Knowing that parts of the South Side of Charlotte are not the best places in the world for a Dominoes driver to go.. I'd have to wonder what the rest of the story is.

I'd rather speak my mind because it hurts too much to bite my tongue.

Oh good, tom....

I was wondering if one's mother was to be fair game in your schoolyard bullshit.....

(and some questioned my typifying tom as being an uncouth lout...)

I'm, yet again, reminded of the behavioral double standards and hyposcrisy of the self-appointed 'elite' ruling class on this board.

Wow, Pauly-poo! You mean, I was right? Are you saying that that poor lady is really your mother? If she is your mother, then I am sorry, but if she's not your mother--you stupid, screwed up, ignorant nut case--then what the hell are you complaining about?

This "self-appointed elite" crunch for BOINC! How much credit is it you have, paulie-poo??? Oh, I just forgot, none!!! You don't even have a computer attached to your account, so how in the world have you been able to get 11 full cobblestones?? It must have been a database error!

No, you are just too plain stupid to realize that your oppinions are not wanted here! We, the "self-appointed elite" don't want your political points of views showed down our throats! Get it? Or are you just too stupid??? As usual???

As expected, it's doubtful you would understand, .....respect, of even the most basic type, is only something you demand of others.... not something you display in your own boorish behavior.

It's just as well that you don't recognize your error and edit your classless insinuations intending to cast aspersions, even on my mother.... all the better for you to compound your error by repeating it and making it plain for others to see your shining examples of false piety for themselves....

I'll see ya, tom....

Another of your board statements?

It figures that you would focus on the pertinent content of the post..... context is so troublesome, eh?

See ya, ....see ya later, ......I'll be seeing you, ......... each of those statements denotes an intent, and the intent is not, .........I'll not be seeing you.

I hope that clears up any further confusion you may experience, cw.

Wouldn't have you 'uncomfortable', you know.

Not so long time ago! We hassled Rob about it because it was implemented over at Einstein, so we got it here too!

My point about the above mentioned character is that if you look at the numbers of credit and RAC compaired to the numbers of posts, one gets the image of a troll, also when this character is the owner of The Truth[trademark], which this character uses this board to shove down our throats!

Pauly-poo, "respect, of even the most basic type," is something you are incapable of. You have consistently treated me and so many others here with such disrespect, that even Carl rarely comes to your defense any more. You won't even capitalize my name. That is a conscious choice you have made, and justifies my use of the diminuative "Pauly-poo" that fits the immature personality that you have shown yourself to be.

And once again, you ignorant liar, you accuse me of doing something that I have not done. I have made no insinuations about your mother, but about you. The comparison was clearly a joke meant to show that you are as confused and unstable as that woman in the story. Never did I edit the substance of my post (spelling and grammar I do edit, but when something of substance is being edited, I label it as such--while you do not). If you are going to accuse me of something, get your facts right.

Big whoop, hairball......

.....and I crunch for SETI.....

(nice to see you acknowledge your self appointed station though, much better than your falsehoods about your claiming to be so pious yourself.

We, the "self-appointed elite" don't want your political points of views....


That's too bad...... but, I'll not change my actions to suit only other's, or especially, your level of intolerance.
