Afghanistan rejects US demand on bilateral security agreement

Afghanistan has
rejected the US demand to sign a security deal with Washington, known as
the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA), as soon as possible.
The US said on Thursday it wants the key security pact approved and signed by Kabul by the end of 2013.
White House spokesman, Josh Earnest, said, “Failure to
get this [agreement] approved and signed by the end of the year would
prevent the United States and our allies from being able to plan for a
post-2014 presence.”
Earlier in the day, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai said during
his address to Loya Jirga, or grand council, that the BSA would be
signed by the Afghan government after the presidential election.
On Friday, his spokesman, Aimal Faizi, reiterated Karzai’s stance on
the issue, saying, “Security, peace and good elections are key to the
signing of the BSA.”
“Let's wait and see what will the Loya Jirga decide on
the document. If approved, as the president said, it will be signed
after elections,” Faizi added.
Loya Jirga is Afghanistan’s assembly of some 2,500 tribal elders and
political leaders from across the country who have gathered in the
capital Kabul to discuss the BSA.
People in Afghanistan will go to the polls on April 5, 2014, to elect a successor to Karzai.
Under the BSA, US troops would be allowed to remain in Afghanistan beyond the 2014 deadline.
Kabul has agreed to US military operations under special
circumstances and American troops' immunity from prosecution in
Afghanistan.
Anti-US sentiments have been on the rise in Afghanistan due to the
deadly raids carried out by the US and other foreign troops in the
war-torn country.
Afghans have also held several demonstrations against the security deal with the United States.

they
did the American people a favor by not supporting that agreement: we
need to stay home and fix our own problems instead of occupying other
nations and fighting wars!

We
all know that Americans destroyed Iraq by lying that it had WMD.
Similarly, they invaded and destroyed Afghanistan claiming that Ben
Laden, then in Afghanistan, was responsible for 9/11, another
unsubstantiated claim. Now, after the phony Seal 6 story of killing and
dumping Ben Laden’s body in the ocean, they want to stay in Iraq
indefinitely. Why? Some say they are in cahoots with UK queen to control
the profits from the opium fields, while others also point to
Afghanistan’s large uranium mines. On top of that, they also want to
continue their crimes without being subject to due process under
Afghanistan laws! Low and behold all those so-called supporters of human
rights.

You're
right. But let me add some in. A host of political experts and military
personnel in the western world are whispering the US is the main loser
of these 10 years war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Even though it has
inflicted severe damages to the infrastructure of these two countries.
The US economy has gone, over 1 million US soldiers have been severely
wounded as a result of necessary clashes between Taliban. The pain
appears to be greater in the US part as it leads to sporadic internal
revolts never seeing since the black liberation movement of the 60s.
The only chance of declaring victory for the US while the situation has
highly improved on the ground is to be able to stay another 10 years.
This is where this pact comes to play and has become important for the
US. With also the hope to be able to use it against a Iran.

That is not difficult. US should raise the money and other perks. Karzai will definite sell his country.

Karzai
is an US puppet, but nobody's fool. Like the US, he knows how to get
the cake and eat it too. But if he can't get the Loya Jirga to give him
what he wants, he'll let the US dollars get them for him. Karzai doesn't
want to go down as a traitor or be found hanging in a tree. He wants to
pass the buck to the next elected satrap, who'll keep feeding off the
US all over again. Poor ordinary Afghans who don't care for dictators or
democracy, they only want their lives.

I
am afraid that US will refuse to withdraw its soldiers from Afghanistan
despite deal not being signed. USA military-indastrial lords will have
do be forced to withdraw US army. Karzai is aware of that.
AFGHANISTAN TOLAK JADI BAWAHAN PERMANEN AMERIKA
Mengikuti tetangganya, Irak, yang menolak menjadi negara 1/2 jajahan
Amerika, Afghanistan akhirnya menolak menandatangani perjanjian keamanan
dengan Amerika (Bilateral Security Agreement) yang memberikan hak-hak
istimewa kepada Amerika.
Dalam pernyataan di hadapan sidang para tetua agama dan masyarakat Lora Jirga yang digelar hari Kamis (21/11) Presiden Hamid Karzai mengatakan bahwa perjanjian keamanan akan ditandatangani oleh pemerintah mendatang setelah pemilu. Sehari kemudian jubir Karzai Aimal Faizi mengulang kembali pernyataan Karzai, "Keamanan, perdamaian dan pemilu yang baik adalah kunci untuk menandatangani perjanjian keamanan.”

“Mari kita tunggu apa keputusan Loya Jirga atas dokumen itu. Jika disetujui, sebagai presiden, dokumen itu akan ditandatangani setelah pemilu," kata Faizi.
Padahal pada hari Kamis Amerika sudah menyatakan bahwa Amerika menginginkan perjanjian tersebut ditandatangani pada akhir tahun ini.
Jubir pemerintahan Amerika Josh Earnest, mengatakan, “kegagalan menandatangani perjanjian ini tahun ini akan mencegah Amerika dan sekutu-sekutu menetapkan rencana masa depan setelah tahun 2014.”
Loya Jirga adalah dewan rakyat Afghanistan yang beranggotakan 2.500 ketua suku dan pemimpin politik di seluruh Afghanistan. Mereka berkumpul di Kabul untuk membahasa perjanjian keamanan tersebut. Adapun pemilu presiden Afghanistan akan dilaksanakan tgl 5 April 2014.
Di bawah perjanjian keamanan yang dirancang Amerika berbulan-bulan itu sebagian pasukan Amerika diijinkan tetap tinggal di Afghanistan setelah tahun 2014. Selain itu tentara-tentara Amerika itu diberikan hak immunitas dari hukum Afgahistan. Namun kebencian terhadap Amerika sudah mendarah daging bagi sebagian besar rakyat Afghanistan terkait dengan banyaknya aksi-aksi biadab pasukan Amerika. Berbagai aksi demonstrasi juga telah digelar rakyat Afghanistan menentang perjanjian keamanan tersebut.
Jika Afghanistan benar-benar monolak perjanjian keamanan dengan Amerika, maka hal ini merupakan pengulangan dari apa yang terjadi di Irak sebelum penarikan pasukan Amerika tahun 2011. Kala itu pun Amerika memaksa pemerintah Irak menandatangani perjanjian yang memberi hak keberadaan pasukan Amerika dan kekebalan hukum bagi para personilnya. Namun karena penolakan rakyat Irak serta adanya jaminan keamanan dari Iran, maka Irak pun menolak perjanjian tersebut, dan Amerika terpaksa hengkang dengan tangan hampa setelah menghabiskan triliunan dolar biaya perang dan ribuan personil militernya yang tewas sia-sia.
