Karzai wants private security firms out of Afghanistan

Karzai wants private security firms out of Afghanistan
American officials were stunned Monday by a surprise announcement from President Hamid Karzai's spokesman calling for the dissolution within four months of the private security companies that foreign armies and aid organizations in Afghanistan rely on to do their daily work.

Interesting. Just as the U.S. media is hyping the "combat" forces exiting Iraq, leaving behind a ton of hundreds of thousands of private security people, Karzai is demanding they leave.

By the way, the "embassy" in Iraq is larger than Vatican City. Do you really think the U.S. is "leaving" Iraq?
