message: Surprised no one has been able to pin down/reference the fact that Karzai's brother, Ahmed Wali, is one of the biggest opium lords in Afghanistan. American and ISAF officials tell you this all the time in Kabul and Afghans also refer to it often. It's the biggest open secret in the country.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.132.42.90 (talk) 11:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

:1. WAS KARZAI A UNOCAL CONSULTANT? France's Le Monde newspaper wrote in a Dec. 5 profile of Hamid Karzai that the Afghan interim president "has a wide knowledge of the western world. After studying law in Kabul and India, he completed his training in the United States where he was for a time a consultant for the American oil company Unocal, when it was studying the construction of a pipeline in Afghanistan." 
:This claim was reiterated in the Jan. edition of Le Monde Diplomatique, where Pierre Abramovici http://www.christusrex.org/www1/icons/abramovici.html wrote that "during the negotiations over the Afghan oil pipeline, Karzai had been a consultant for Unocal."
:The claim also surfaced in the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan, which reported Dec. 15: "Karzai found no contradiction between his ties with the Americans and his support for the Taliban movement as of 1994, when the Americans had--secretly and through the Pakistanis--supported the Taliban's assumption of power... At the time, Karzai worked as a consultant for the huge US oil group Unocal, which had supported the Taliban movement and sought to construct a pipeline to transport oil and gas from the Islamic republics of Central Asia to Pakistan via Afghanistan." (BBC Monitoring Service, Dec. 15)
:The Le Monde article was jumped upon by numerous media outlets--particularly lefty e-newsletters--who cited it as truth, without raising questions about the article's un-named source, or bothering to get a quote from Unocal (e.g., Tom Turnipseed in Counterpunch, Jan. 10; Ted Rall, < www.rall.com>, Jan 15). But when WW3 REPORT reached Unocal Manager for International Communication Teresa Covington at the company's Houston headquarters on Jan. 25, and asked if Hamid Karzai had ever worked for the firm, she replied: "No he did not. Neither as an employee or a consultant. We sent Le Monde a note asking them to correct that."
:This raises numerous questions. Why has Le Monde not run a correction? Was Karzai's work laundered through sub-contractors? And, if so, why is Unocal trying to hide it? Why hasn't it been more widely reported?
:The most probing account appeared by Wayne Madsen http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MAD201A.html on the web page of Canada's Centre for Research on Globalisation Jan. 23. Wrote Madsen: "According to Afghan, Iranian, and Turkish government sources, Hamid Karzai, the interim Prime Minister of Afghanistan, was a top adviser to the...UNOCAL Corporation which was negotiating with the Taliban to construct a Central Asia Gas (CentGas) pipeline from Turkmenistan through western Afghanistan to Pakistan." Madsen also claims Karzai "maintained close relations with CIA Director William Casey, Vice President George Bush, and their Pakistani Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) interlocutors" during the Mujahedeen war. "Later, Karzai and a number of his brothers moved to the United States under the auspices of the CIA. Karzai continued to serve the agency's interests, as well as those of the Bush Family and their oil friends in negotiating the CentGas deal, according to Middle East and South Asian sources."
:Madsen maintains that "Karzai's ties with UNOCAL and the Bush administration are the main reason why the CIA pushed him for Afghan leader over rival Abdul Haq, the assassinated former mujaheddin leader from Jalalabad, and the leadership of the Northern Alliance, seen by Langley as being too close to the Russians and Iranians." He also sees a possible CIA conspiracy to eliminate Haq to clear the way for Karzai: "Former Reagan National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, who worked with Haq, vainly attempted to get the CIA to help rescue Haq. The agency claimed it sent a remotely-piloted armed drone to attack the Taliban but its actions were too little and too late. Some observers in Pakistan claim the CIA tipped off the ISI about Haq's journey and the Pakistanis, in turn, informed the Taliban. McFarlane, who runs a K Street oil consulting firm, did not comment on further questions about the circumstances leading to the death of Haq."
:Madsen, like Le Monde, fails to share his sources. WW3 REPORT will continue to monitor this story, and urges all subscribers to report back with any leads.
i'm not sure what fails to share his sources means - if it just means that madsen didn't publish a bibliography in his article, then it's not a strong argument that he's wrong, it can simply be that he's lazy. If someone's really interested in this (chance to show that michael moore, among others, are definitely wrong on one fact, not just maybe wrong!), emailing madsen would probably help. He says According to Afghan, Iranian, and Turkish government sources, Hamid Karzai, the interim Prime Minister of Afghanistan, was a top adviser to the El Segundo, California-based UNOCAL Corporation.... He can surely explain a bit more about his access to three independent government sources - why would government sources from Iran and Turkey be embarrassed about talking about Karzai's cv? Hmm.... Anyway, nice to know that wikipedia people are collectively double-checking, triple-checking on this sort of thing. :) Boud 02:50, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Given that the intro talks about him being known for his hat, why do we have a hatless picture of him for the infobox?  No question that it's a useful picture (incidentally, the first I can remember seeing of him without a hat), but perhaps if we're going to talk about the hat in the text it would be good to show him with a hat.  :Image:Hamid Karzai.jpg (pictured here) would be a good replacement.

thread_title:  Hat and picture 

message: My suggestion is to spin-off at least three separate pages from this page on Hamid Karzai: a page on the Karzai administration during the transition period before his first election (2004), a page on his first period as a chosen president (2004-2009) and a page on the newly started period. Information on his ministers etc. is then better on its place on those pages, as it less on the current page on Karzai himself. --JanDeFietser (talk) 08:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seperate pages on Karzai Administration I, II, III 

message: Changed from "election was characterized by the western media" as containing fraud to "was tainted by fraud". This is because the main article clearly and properly cites primary sources alleging fraud. in any case, "characterized by the media" is a weasel phrase; we should be relying on primary sources, not describing what teh general media buzz around anevent is. In this case, there is no shortage of primary sources, both journalists and election observers, providing detailed and verifiable examples of fraud.58.152.10.51 (talk) 02:55, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That is good you did that and the fraud charges are not confirmed, only western media reports were saying widespread fraud took place. Their information is based on their own study, and the Afghans didn't complain except few of the losers in the race. This whole thing was planned by westerners to try to remove Karzai but they failed because Afghans stood silent focusing on westerners (America-NATO).--119.73.0.138 (talk) 11:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

a couple of weeks ago there was a quote in TIME magazine from the American ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry suggesting that Hamid Karzai has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. anyone know more about that? I am not familiar with wiki rules but instinctively I think this would be relevant information for this page (and it might also explain some of his rather erratic behavior in the past years)...

replies: text:  Things like that pop up when a leader has angered Washington. Of Russia's Vladimir Putin it was said a couple of year ago he was autistic. These things are propaganda because diagnoses of this kind cannot be made from press photos. Psychologists need to examine the patient for a proper diagnosis. It is irresponsible of any publication to engage in this way. I came here to check why Karzai had seemingly fallen out with the US. Did the US stop to pay him or did he not do as told? Karzai is still active, seen in Moscow for peace talks yesterday. 2001:8003:AC60:1400:4EA:17D2:F3BF:6F2B (talk) 00:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism from She has a bird brain 

message: It seems a bit triumphalist and self-congratulating on the part of NATO members to call Karzai the first democratically elected president. He was elected after being hand-picked by foreigners, ratified by an undemocratic council, and given a few years to build a political base, with parts of the country still in rebellion against his government, facing token opposition, with the continued support of occupying powers. Much like Dr. Najibullah in 1988, although Najibullah was elected through a parliamentary process rather than a direct election. Can it be changed to "first directly elected president"? 24.22.217.162 (talk) 04:20, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Freedom is not worth a cracker if you do not have money to do something with it, especially when you struggle to fund your roof over the head. My late brother in Berlin did not die from lack of freedom and democracy but from lack of money, in 2008. Just recently, more stuff has come out from the Afghanistan mission and it is appalling. When Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard (2010-2013) was asked for how long our soldiers would have to be in Afghanistan, she said in a flippant voice "when the job is done". It now emerges that even her hero Obama understood that would never happen, but in public he obviously lied to please the military industries. Karzai was no shrinking violet, but according to reports coming out now, "some U.S. officials cited in interviews expressed frustration that he was buying off warlords and tribal chiefs instead of acting like a modern elected leader." That is the way these societies have functioned for millenia. We can call out their frauds by calling out their lies, instead of using wrong tags, but then we must accept, work around, and live around what they do - or suffer more loss of blood and treasure in new wars.

message: I came here to see what's he doing now and where after he's no longer in charge. I was just curious because he had turned around 180 degrees, from a US collaborator to someone who bad-mouthed them, reason never stated. Regarding Unocal, well, someone with knowledge of local languages must have been a link; maybe he was a fixer with a black budget for bakshish and thus he 'never existed'. 
More importantly, however, the end of 2014 US withdrawal has not happened as Karzai's successor did sign the agreement.
