The New York Times is outraged that Afghan puppet has refused thus far to sign the security treaty with the US

The New York Times does not cover Afghanistan, it simply lobbies and advocates.  It is outraged that the Afghan puppet has not yet signed the treaty with the US.  It uses all the propaganda tools at its disposal.  Look at this front page story from yesterday:  "A Top Iraqi Official’s Advice to Karzai? Take America’s Deal".  And who is the top Iraqi official?  None other than the Barzani's foreign minister.  But if Mr. "top Iraqi official" is keep that Afghanistan should sign the treaty with the US, how come he did not arrange for Iraq itself to sign a similar treaty which was rejected, not by an appointed loya jirga, but by an elected body of Iraqis.
