They can spin it however they like, but Karzai needs to bribe these people to maintain security. Is the warlord going to work for someone else, someone willing to pay him? That's what I want to know.
The news story instantiates a particular peeve of mine. It is full of the writer's (or editor's) opinions, but doesn't actually contain any names or facts about the rejected (or accepted) ministers.
Emotion, not content.
And none of the other stories I've seen in the English language press has more than two names -- Wardak (retained at Defense) and Ismail Khan (rejected -- he's the warlord they're concerned about, and he's very unlikely to join the Taliban. Instead, he's dead certain to return to his power base in Herat and continue running the area from there to the Iranian border, regardless of which popinjay gets named de jure governor.
Having this particular warlord bottled up in a ministry actually reduced warlordism, but you can't expect AP editors to figure that out, given their limited travel and generally narrow and shallow English-major educations.

Karzai can't make promises about the future anymore. His administration is over, he's a lame duck. Not something we need in Afghanistan right now.

Wow, Jason, it really is just like the USA.
