Karzai particularly criticized the U.S. military's night raids, saying they fuel anti-American sentiment and strengthen the Taliban's hand.

I never even heard that he was going to quit. But why is it okay for the Taliban to conduct their night letters but we can't raid at night to stop them? Just tell everyone who's side you're on Karzai.

I love this quote from Petraeus though:

Petreaus was also asked about a letter in which the Taliban claims to control over 50 percent of Afghanistan.

"Well, my response to them would be, 'If you control so much of Afghanistan, w hy are all of your senior leaders outside the country and never set food inside the country, ' " he said.
