Does he have someone on the payroll to tie his shoes for him? 

Well, the Afghan-constitution allows senior Government-officials (not in the Karzai's Pushtan clan/tribe, which'll soon be out of power) to sign the agreement instead.  To the other tribes, the Karzai's are looking like Taliban-dupes these days. 

The other tribes like America, so I ain't worried.  -Course Kerry's ripe for duping.  Can he deal with a tribal-culture? 

Frankly I think that Bandar Abbas would make an excellent home port for this.



Of course that would entail the proprietary country of this vessel would have to accquie all the territory between it's self an' the port in question, I would have no problem with that either.
