Former Afghan President Karzai Says US Responsible for ISIS

teleSUR | November 12, 2107

During an interview with Al Jazeera television, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai linked the emergence of Islamic State group in the region to U.S. interventions.

“In my view, under the full (United States) presence, surveillance, military, political, intelligence, Daesh has emerged,” he said.

Karzai also noted that that the United States is colluding with Islamic State group in Afghanistan in order to allow the terrorist group to thrive in the war-torn country, according to PressTV.

“And for two years, the Afghan people came, cried loud about their suffering, of violations. Nothing was done,” Karzai said.

A year after securing control over large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria in 2014, Islamic State group began to establish itself in the eastern province of Nangarhar in Afghanistan. From there the group has carried major attacks on the Central Asian country.

Karzai went on to assert that after the U.S. military dropped the GBU-43/B MOAB — the largest non-nuclear bomb detonated since World War II — in Nangarhar’s Achin District, Islamic State group fighters seized control of “the next district.” It was the first time the U.S. military dropped the 21,600 pound bomb, which contains an Australian made explosive called H6 and has an explosive equivalent to 11 tons of TNT, according to Inverse.

The incident “proves to us that there is a hand” aiding the emergence of Islamic State group and “that hand can be no one else but them (the United States) in Afghanistan,” Karzai concluded.

He condemned the U.S. government for using Afghanistan as a “testing ground for new and dangerous weapons” and welcomed a recent call by Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, to open an inquiry into war crimes committed in Afghanistan.

“She’s right to open an investigation,” Karzai said, adding that he will cooperate with the investigation, even if it probes his own complicity in such crimes.

    Come back home to the refinery
    Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me”
    Went down to see my V.A. man
    He said “Son, don’t you understand”

    I had a brother in Afghanistan protecting CIA Opium
    They’re still there, he’s all gone

    He had a woman he loved in Saudi Arabia
    I got a picture of him in her arms now

    Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
    Out by the gas fires of the refinery
    I’m ten years burning down the road
    Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go

    Isis Is Us: The Shocking Truth Behind the Army of Terror
    Did the “Islamic State” spring full-blown into spontaneous being as the fanatical scourge of the Middle East, or was it helped along by state sponsors?
    There are uncanny parallels with Iran-Contra. In the 1980s, the Reagan team wanted to topple the government of Nicaragua, using mercenaries, or death squads, based in Honduras. But Congress passed a law against it. So they went around by financing the Contras via Iran.
    Thirty years later, the hawks in Washington wanted to topple the elected governments of Libya and Syria, crush the popular resistance in Iraq, and split up those countries on ethnic lines. Once again, they wanted to do this using death squads. So they got around Congress by having Qatar and the Saudis finance it.

    To set up the Sunni and Shiite death squads to fight each other in Iraq, they sent John Negroponte as ambassador to Baghdad in 2004. The same guy they sent to Honduras as ambassador from 1981 to 1985. Then in 2011 they sent some of those killers from Iraq to Libya to overthrow Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, with NATO air cover. From Libya, they were sent to Syria to start the killing there.
    The U.S. embedded media perversely pinned these killings on Libyan leader Bashar al-Assad, following the script for another NATO invasion. Only Russia’s UN veto spared Syria. So the sheikhs kept financing the “rebels” – and the U.S. pretended to fight them – until they grew into the ISIS terror army. They and their backers have still not quit.

    • Good effort! And now the USA(and Israel) are about to set their mercenaries on Lebanon and Iran to continue their 7 countries in five years plan(although, the five years has ‘blown out’ somewhat) But, as Russia did in Syria, they will feel compelled to come to their allies aid, and use their Air Force to decimate the mercenaries(who are supposedly “Not run and controlled” by the USA. If it didn’t work in Syria, it’s highly unlikely to work in Lebanon(Hezbollah have a very good reputation for fighting and winning) and Iran
      Israel might like to contemplate that if their devious plan(“7 in 5”) doesn’t work, Israel may become the “8th in 5”!
