"Forward" - Karzai 'ordered' U.S. special forces To Leave Key Afghan Province.


"Forward" - Karzai 'ordered' U.S. special forces To Leave Key Afghan Province.(NPR).HT: AstuteBlogger.We're getting word that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered U.S. special forces to leave Wardak Province within two weeks amid allegation of torture and disappearances centering on Afghans who are part of the U.S. forces.

NPR's Sean Carberry is reporting on the move for our Newscast unit. Here's what he says:
"The order came after the governor of Wardak presented a report to the Afghan National Security Council today. The report alleges that special forces and armed groups created by them have committed a range of abuses in the volatile province that neighbors Kabul. President Karzai has long criticized U.S. raids on Afghan homes, but the claims in the report appear to go far beyond his previous allegations. The president's order says all special forces must cease operations immediately and leave the province within two weeks. A U.S .forces official says they have not seen the report and cannot comment until they can discuss the issue directly with the Afghan government."

The BBC says that the central province has been the focus of recent counterinsurgency operations.

Al Jazeera reported that the order to remove U.S. special forces extended to Logar Province.

Hmmm.....My thoughts go out to the women of Afghanistan that after been given hope will be thrown back to the Medieval times in which the Taliban dwell.It's nothing but 'Betrayal' Mr. President, no matter how many times you state: "The Koran teaches that, Be it man or woman, each of you is equal to the other."Read the full story here.
