Return of the Anti-Interventionist Right
Late last month, when U.S. air strikes caused civilian casualties in Afghanistan, an angry Hamid Karzai issued an ultimatum.
If future U.S. strikes are not restricted, we will take “unilateral action” and America may be treated like an “occupying power.”
That brought this blistering retort from one Republican hawk.
“If President Karzai continues with these public ultimatums, we must consider our options about the immediate future of U.S. troops in his country. If he actually follows through on his claim that Afghan forces will take ‘unilateral action’ against NATO forces which conduct such air raids to take out terrorists and terrorist positions, that should result in the immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and the suspension of U.S. aid.”
Who was the GOP hawk shaking the fist at Karzai? Sarah Palin.
