KABUL (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama (click here) and
Afghan President Karzai on Wednesday
signed a strategic partnership accord that charts the future of U.S.-Afghan
relations beyond the end of the NATO combat
mission in the country.
Obama, on an unannounced visit to Kabul, acknowledged that there
will be difficult days ahead for Afghanistan, but said the Afghan people were
taking control of their own future.
“The wages of war have been great for both our nations,” Obama
said, adding that he looked forward to a future of peace….
A very strategic meeting where signatures were exchanged on the future of Afghan - USA relations took place today on the anniversary of the death of al Qaeda's leader. I congratulate both President Karzai and President Obama. Great danger surrounds such bravery and to realize President Karzai is leading the government the USA supports and makes this country his home is testament to the dedication he has to the outcome of peace. Very serious event, indeed.
