- Description
American President Obama tells Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the G8 leaders wonder when he is going to 'pick up the pace of Afghan control'. President Karzai is bound by the huge chains of 'corruption', 'opium', 'trade', 'Pakistan', 'Meddling', 'Taliban' and 'Al Qaeda'. Refers to the G8 world leaders who are gathered near Toronto, issuing of a stark warning to the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, demanding detailed plans of how he will take over responsibility for the country's security and drive out corruption within five years. The message from the G8 leaders will be seen as setting a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops. Michael Semple former head of the EU mission in Afghanistan said talk of withdrawing international forces, including Britain's 10,000-strong presence in the south, was helping push towards civil war.
