Here is word for word of what Karzai said: “…When Baitullah Mehsud overtly declares that he wants to go to Afghanistan to kill foreigners and Afghans, then what is our defense ought to be? Prayers and pleas?

When Mullah Omar-e-Pakistani says he is responsible for the suicide bombing in Marko Jalalabad, then what is our defense ought to be? Pronouncing poems, or something that can provide our salvation, provide our security. We are being killed here anyways, so it is better to go a step forward and go there and kill ourselves so at least the enemy cannot get to us. Mullah Fazl-Ullah, who said this {perhaps referring to some statement the journalist might have quoted from Fazl-Ullah to prompt the reaction}, we have to be granted the right to go to his house and kill him right there. Wherever he is. Baitullah Mehsud, we are going after him there, explicitly, he should know, we tell the Pakistani government that we are coming after Baitullah Mehsud there and striking him right there. We hit them yesterday.

… Afghanistan has tolerated this tragedy for thirty years. It has been thirty years that this jihad doesn’t end in Afghanistan . I swear to god, even if you bring the Imam of Kaba-e-Sharifa { Mecca } to form a government in Afghanistan , Pakistan won’t let him, and still say it is Jihad. These are the facts. So we have ran out of patience. Thousands of people are being sent to our land, our houses are being set on fire, our schools are being torched, our people are being devastated. Afghanistan has the right to defend its own life. And has the right to defend its own land. How is it possible that a foreigner, with such courage!, stands up and says he is going to Afghanistan to kill humans? And we practice silence! Do we lack patriotism? Do we lack history? Do we lack courage? What is it that we lack? Behind whom do we fall in the rankings for defense of our rights, courage and life?”
