A little update on President Karzai and his meetings with President Obama; nothing about his running mate so far. I have heard that President Karzai mentioned the importance of minimizing 'civilian casualties.' AP, via Brietbart.com:
Calling civilian deaths unacceptable, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he would talk with President Barack Obama on Wednesday about allegations that dozens of civilians died in a U.S. bombing run in western Afghanistan, the president's office said.
Civilian casualties, I wonder if he will mention the civilian casualties his running mate caused in the '90's? Are those civilian casualties important to Karzai? Secondly, I am wondering how our President will respond to Karzai's allegations against our country. Will he just sit there like he has at other meetings with leaders who said such things, or will he make a statement? We must wait and see.
Nuclear arms update! President Obama is speaking out on Israel's nuclear arsenal. Eli Lake's Washington Time's article:
President Obama's efforts to curb the spread of nuclear weapons threaten to expose and derail a 40-year-old secret U.S. agreement to shield Israel's nuclear weapons from international scrutiny, former and current U.S. and Israeli officials and nuclear specialists say.
This could be very sad for Israel, and our relationship with that country. If President Obama goes through with this, Israel's protection against Iran could be hurt very drastically, and such protection is looking more and more important as Iran's leaders get more and more anxious.
