| [Tolo News] General Momand Katawazai, the Administrative and Logistics Deputy of the Afghan National Army (ANA), has said that in order to protect the military gains of past years the Kabul-Washington Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) must be signed. Despite pressure from Washington, Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... remains entrenched with his preconditions for signing the BSA likely to go unmet. The security pact would ensure a continued military partnership between the U.S. and Afghanistan after the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... combat mission ends in December, including the continued presence of troops. "As everyone wants the agreement to be signed, we also call for its signing," General Katawazai said. "No country can operate without the help of another country, so this agreement must be signed." |
