afghan troop deal

WASHINGTON — Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign a security deal with the United States, the White House said, and Washington may have to resort to the "zero option" of withdrawing all American troops from the strife-torn country next year, as it did in Iraq.

Karzai told U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice in Kabul on Monday that the United States must put an immediate end to military raids on Afghan homes and demonstrate its commitment to peace talks before he would sign a bilateral security pact, Karzai's spokesman said.



afghanistan has been mishandled from the get-gp. karzai is a joke. just pull everyone out, and to hell with those dipshits. taliban will be back in control in no time, and we will have wasted lives, time and money for nothing. which is typical of d.c. and international policy for decades.
