Veto Power - Karzai of Afghanistan

Fox News: Reports on a UK Sunday Times Story that the President Karzai of Afghanistan could veto the latest NATO attack on Taliban/Al Qaeda in the Kandahar province due to pressure from local leaders. As stated many times in this blog the War in Afghanistan; Obama's War; could be the issue that brings down President Obama in 2012, Karzai is the modern version of Diem of South Vietnam, does Obama have the nerve to replace him, in essence making Afghanistan a colony of the United States. In this case Obama cant use the race card or do rhetoric tour of Afghanistan, the Secret Service would say a big NO, they have the legal authority to veto any such idea. Thus the Obama White House is stuck with a War that was loved by liberals as a way to attack Bush 43, its different when it becomes your War. Also the Obama White House has seen an increase in the violence in Iraq after the recent election, there are calls for the Obama White House to delay its removal of US troops from Iraq. The problem for Obama is that he has not shown that he copes well when countries such as Iran or North Korea tell him to get lost, in fact he seems to grovel to these evil regimes, a lot like Neville Chamberlain did to Adolf Hitler before World War Two. It seems that the US voter has elected a Chamberlain not a Churchill.
