In an interview with Christiane Amanpour, Hamid Karzai gave his response to President Obama's announcement for a troop surge in his country, saying that the United States must have patience, and that he is unsure if the intended goal of a 2011 exit plan will be accomplished.
"We will try our best as the Afghan people to do it the soonest possible," Karzai said. "But the international community must have also the patience with us and the realization of the realities in Afghanistan. If it takes longer, then they must be with us."
He gave his goals: to be able to assume security control in some parts of the country in two years, and to lead security for the entire country by the end of his five-year term.
