[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I get the distinct impression that despite the benefit and necessity of this agreement, our President doesn't have particularly warm feelings for Karzai.

My exact thoughts as I looked at these shots. I don't believe President Obama likes Karzai at all.
He knows that Karzai is a crook and that he is playing both sides off of each other ....
1 out of 4 or 1 out of 5 Nato KIAs or wounded in action is from Afghani police or military.
Time to get the hell out of there.
