Yes, it's another scoop from Press TV Iran...Afghan President Hamid Karzai has vowed that the US will not carry out any military actions inside Afghanistan without Kabul's agreement.
Somebody show Hamid the pictures of Najibullah again.
You mean this one, boss?
Karzai made the announcement after he received a phone call from his US counterpart Barack Obama, during which Obama announced his plan to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Karzai said on Wednesday that there would be no military operations by foreign troops without coordination with Afghan officials. "From now on, no foreign troop operations will be uncoordinated with Afghan forces," Karzai said during a speech in Mahter Lam, east of Kabul.
Obama's plan to send extra troops to Afghanistan comes amid reports on growing civilian casualties in the country. On Tuesday, a US air strike killed at least 12 civilians in Herat Province. The Afghan Ministry of Defense condemned the attack despite US claims that they were militants.
The UN also reported on Monday that more than 2,000 civilians were killed in Afghanistan in 2008. The US, NATO and Afghan forces were responsible for 39 percent of the 2,118 civilian deaths.
Hmmmmmmm. So who was responsible for the other 61%? Aliens? Shriners? Telemarketers?
Relations between the US and Afghanistan have recently been damaged over Afghan civilian casualties. The US in return accused Karzai of not doing enough to fight corruption.
