They say "a picture speaks a thousand words" - who is the president?

[akbarkhan]

About 5 minutes ago I came across an article on Afghanistan.

The first thing I noticed was the picture accompanied with the headline and what struck me was the fact that it is the funeral of Ahmad Wali Karzai, every one is inside a guest room and only two people who have walked in with their shoes.

What does this signify?
1. Absolute disrespect to Afghan culture.
2. Absolute disrespect to a man they have installed as "president".

[graveyardofempires]

what a pathetic display.

[Leonine]

maybe they are on military duty and the shoes are part of their uniform which they cant take off? anyways, i would have just told them not to come inside

[Master Khan]

lol What do you expect from Americans troops.

[unknownprince]

lol, do you see Jan Khan in the background? The murderer of Afghan people who supported the US war against Afghanistan.

The first thing that I noticed was the clunky, huge boots of the 2 US military figures.
Symbolic of clumsy they are EVERY way.

The hand over the chest - I can't say the heart,
for there is NO HEART in this man -
is 100 % PHONY.

Contrived.

What con-artists are all who participate in this occupation
Pretending one thing.
Yet TRAMPLING all over everyone in sight
ON PURPOSE too
They don't
"Make Mistakes" as they claim.

It's all deliberate to squash Afghans and anyone else who
interferes.

The man in the suit to the far left looks like a typical
FAKE
puppet
operative
perhaps a bodyguard but looks extremely out of place.

[king-zazai]

fools think bringing kafirs in our country to fix it, ALLAH mentions how much they hate us muslims if only people started reading and UNDERSTANDING the book of allah aza wa jel....

@catya
the guy on the left is karzai's bodyguard

[Catya Sher]

Oh thanks, GYE =
I think he looks like a ...
young kid breaking into
Telemarketing
as his first job -- !!

[unknownprince]

I think he is a puppet, mean to keep the Chief Puppet Karzai under control

[Catya Sher]

Yeah, that happens really quite a lot
whether it's Soviet KGBs
or American intelligence agents -
they keep their target under intense
surveillance.
Good point.

Still, the guy looks very junior.

Why does he wear a business suit
when he should be blending in with the rest.

Then his appalling bad taste with a
shiny Communist Red tie - where's the
hammer and sickle ?

@catya
the guy on the left is karzai's bodyguard

The same bodyguard that will prob kill him?

[graveyardofempires]

^
probably

and whats with the flag?
do you celeberate the day when Afghan lands were merged into british manufactured pakistan?

[Catya Sher]

Is that Idiot with the
cute
and highly appropriate picture
of the wolf
in sheep's clothing ?

That image describes a lot of places, people and situations,
most clearly

Good choice of avatar for Afghanistan's problems.

[afghan]

some times its better to keep the shoes on in places like that, particularly those big ones.
