Former Afghan president: US 'mother of all bombs' was 'an immense atrocity against the Afghan people'

[SZonian]

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Monday that the U.S. is using Afghanistan as a weapons testing ground, calling the recent use of the largest-ever non-nuclear bomb "an immense atrocity against the Afghan people."

Last week, U.S. forces dropped the GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb in eastern Nangarhar province, reportedly killing 95 militants.

Karzai, in an interview with The Associated Press, objected to the decision, saying that his country "was used very disrespectfully by the U.S. to test its weapons of mass destruction."

There's a story out at Mirror Spectrum that the tunnels we bombed are ones we helped build in the Afghanistan war in the 1980s, when Russia invaded there. That the CIA built those tunnels.  The story seems dubious to me but one can look it up. It may be an anti-American propaganda story.

Poor Hamid Karzai.  He must still think that  Hussein Obama and past Groveler In Chief,  is still the President.
