Ex-CIA heavyweight on Afghanistan: Dump Karzai

The U.S. strategy in Afghanistan isn’t working, says a former head of the CIA task force that beat the Russians there 25 years ago, so it’s time to try something else: Dump Karzai.

“Having run the CIA's Afghan Task Force—which covertly channeled U.S. support to the Afghans fighting to drive the Soviets out of their country—I recognize the playbook our policy makers are using today,” wrote Jack Devine in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal.

“It didn't work for the Soviets then, and it won't work for us now. However different our current objective, our efforts are alarmingly similar to those of the Russians.” -- SpyTalk - Ex-CIA heavyweight on Afghanistan: Dump Karzai
