Afghanistan's Karzai hits out at U.S. critics

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai lashed out at mounting U.S. criticism on Sunday, saying he expected "better judgment" from the Obama administration.

In the latest show of strain between the allies in a seven-year war against Islamist militants, Karzai told CNN President Barack Obama's description of the Kabul government as "very detached" from its people reflected the new U.S. government's immaturity.

1. He's desperate. He also couldn't explain his brother's ties to the
poppy trade. And Holbrooke saw him last on his visit to Afghanistan and was unable to recommend a thing he's done. I think Karzai is at the end of his tenure there.

3. How is it misinformation when it is the truth?
He sounds very insecure.

4. The Mayor of Kabul says what?
Get away from the city and no one cares what he says, not even his own army.
