Well, I was leaning towards Chuck Schumer for his total subservience to AIPAC, and faxed him (remember fax?) to tell him as much, but it is a big world, and Schumer (who is objecting to possible detente with Iran) was outdone.
The winner! : Hamid Karzai, of course. Somebody on the radio suggested he was "off his meds." Was he ever on his meds? Do they even make meds for somebody so totally nuts?
First he called the loya jurga, totally stacked to support him, and then he ignored the loya jurga's demand that he sign the agreement with the USofA immediately. (I guess those loya jurga guys understand that two billion bucks a year in military aid is not chump change.) Now Hamid wants to put off signing until April, after the election of a new asshole, who is likely to be one of his brothers or cousins, given the endemic corruption.
Personally, I'd be happy to keep the two billion and tell Karzai to screw himself. Al Qaeda is comfortably ensconced all over North Africa and the Arabian peninsula, so Afghanistan will hardly make a difference.
