NYT on President Karzai of Afghanistan

The New York Times: Has the following to say on President Karzai of Afghanistan, " He has refused to root out corruption. He prefers cronies to competent managers. He has wasted far too much time railing at his American protectors. ". As stated in this blog the Liberal NYT is following its Iraq playbook, it is down on Afghanistan from its news to its editorial front, the extreme liberal NYT wants out of Afghanistan, Bush 43 faced constant attacks from the NYT over Iraq, now the President Obama has to face constant attacks for his Afghan Policy. In the eyes of NYT, Afghanistan = Vietnam, lets not forget that the US did not lose in Vietnam as much as it lost public support at home, the elite media then and now sees the US as the threat not the enemies of the US, in the case of South Vietnam the Viet Cong, in the case of Afghanistan the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Lets be clear Afghanistan is a mess, will the Obama surges help in the long term? that is a open question, but the US will lose in Afghanistan if the elite US media from print to press are on the attack, this blog has been critical of US and UK policy in Afghanistan but at least this blog wants the West to win in Afghanistan, that can not be said of the liberal NYT.
