Ok, it is a rumor supported by observation and interpreting what Karzai says. The Prime Minister of Afghanistan appears “dopy.”
‘Galbraith, an American who has frequently criticized Karzai, called Karzai's recent comments "very strange" and his "continued tirade raises questions about his mental stability." He said Obama's strategy to flood the volatile country with more U.S. troops won't work with Karzai in charge.
"If our troops cannot accomplish the mission, even if the mission's important, if it cannot be accomplished because we don’t have the reliable partner, then why should they be there?" Galbraith said. "It is a waste of very precious military resources — precious in terms of the money and precious in terms of lives."”

Diplomats, counternarcotics officials and commanders from the International Security Assistance Force, NATO's military wing in Afghanistan, have all privately (and not so privately) expressed frustration with President Karzai for not reining in his brother. In fact, the people most likely to be shocked by the revelations are Americans back at home, who are already wondering why they should be sending more soldiers and money to a country whose leadership has rarely proved an adequate partner.
