Oh, no - "Obama threatens Karzai with total Afghanistan troop withdrawal over security deal delay" - comes a report from Australia, echoed by the AFP here.
Please, please please Mr Karzai, save the people of the United States from continuing this interference - keep up the delays over a security deal. You are better off without US politicos and generals commanding the manner in which you attempt to reconcile the differences in your own population. Get those US troops out of Afghanistan as quickly as you can, be as intransigent as you must.
Somehow the US will survive without the loss of life, loss of treasure, and the increased hatred directed at Americans that has resulted from our misguided attempt to fix the society in which you live.
Maybe an alternative of free trade, without entangling alliances, will promote the gradual restoration of peace and prosperity for all of us.

Hamid Karzai is a politician, an occupation know for dissembling and lies, so who knows for sure, but The Guardian reports yesterday that he continues to reject a longer occupation of his country by US troops.
“He reiterated his stance that he would not sign a pact with the US that would provide for a residual force of troops to remain behind after the final withdrawal, unless peace could first be established.”
The statement is provisional, but it’s something.
