Karzai Fully Supports U.S., NATO Afghanistan Strategy, Clinton Tells CBS (Bloomberg 11/21/10)

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is “fully in support” of U.S. and NATO strategy in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after the alliance set a plan to hand over security to the Afghans by 2014.

“He is fully in support of the strategy, he is fully in support of the fact that it is making progress,” Clinton said in an interview airing today on the CBS “Face the Nation” program.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization yesterday embraced Karzai’s target date to hand security over to Afghan forces by the end of 2014, creating a timetable in the 10-year-old conflict. President Barack Obama for the first time said the handover meant U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan may wrap up in 2014.

Karzai and General David Petraeus, head of NATO and U.S. forces, are “working closely together,” Clinton said. Karzai “is very sensitive” that during allied operations in Afghanistan “we are actually getting the bad guys and not conducting actions that result in a lot of civilian casualties,” Clinton said on CBS.

Clinton also said the U.S. Senate should ratify the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia.

“This is beyond politics, let’s pass it by an overwhelming bipartisan vote,” Clinton said on CBS.

Citing the late Republican President Ronald Reagan’s comment “trust but verify,” Clinton said on the NBC “Meet the Press” program that “we have no verification without a treaty about what’s going on in Russia’s nuclear program.”
