This is too hilarious for me

"After years of insisting that American forces end covert nighttime raids on Afghan homes, President Hamid Karzai’s government was close to completing a deal that would give the Afghan authorities legal oversight of the raids, while allowing American forces to retain a guiding role in conducting them, officials from both countries said Tuesday."  Wait.  Wait.  So the Afghan puppet government will exercise "legal oversight" while US occupation forces will retain "guiding role in conducting them"?  How dumb can the Karzai government be to think that this deal changed anything?
