President Hamid Karzai should point out the protection of the corrupt but politically well connected Shore Bank by Democrat Senators, the criminal scam known as the Chicago Climate Exchange which will enrich friends of Democrats who want to pass cap and trade and the unseemly alliance between Obama, the Center for American Progress, oil giant BP, billionaire George Soros and Brazil’s state owned oil company Petrobas.

Top officials in President Hamid Karzai’s government have repeatedly derailed corruption investigations of politically connected Afghans, according to U.S. officials who have provided Afghanistan’s authorities with wiretapping technology and other assistance in efforts to crack down on endemic graft.
