"Warlord is a hard word. I prefer to call them 'regional leaders.'"

-- Afghan President Hamid Karzai, cited by conservative NY Times columnist William Safire, October 6, 2004.If things don't work out for Mr Karzai in Afghanistan, I hope he'll give the exciting world of public relations a shot. There are slots opening in NYC all the time and I don't see why Saddam Hussein's former information minister, "Comical Ali," should have all the fun.

Texas will change the title from Governor to Warlord any day now. Makes you sound more like a badass.

Ah, that explains why Texas as a Department for Kicking Yer Ass From Here to San Antone. I was wondering about that.

You see, in all actuality, he knows that the so-called warlords are in fact just that. He also knows that when our forces leave, these warlords will become in Afghanistan what the Cali cartel was in Columbia. So he is choosing his words wisely, 'cause he knows who will be running the country.

Karzai better find a way to make himself useful to those barbarians or they'll grind his bones into dust and sell it as opium, along with the rest of their poppy crop.
