#2 Kerry said. It doesn't have to be the "president," he said, not finishing the word. "You know, his minister of defense can sign it, the government can sign it, somebody can accept responsibility for this," Kerry added.

A sort of "stand-down" order.... in reverse ?

#3 Like him or hate him, Karzai is the Afghan Prez - this effort to ignore or bypass Karzai is derogatory + offensive.

Iff anything, this brouhaha shows or infers that AFGHANISTAN/AFPAK = IRAQ = THE BAMMER SEEMINGLY DESIRES OR PRIORITIZES THE PULLOUT US TROOPS WHILE LEAVING A WEAK OR UNSTABLE DOMESTIC GOVT. [Army?] IN PLACE.

A recipe for post-2014 Militant domination of the Kabul = AFPAK Govt(s)???

The Bammer may had killed Osama + other, but he is still far far away from defeating the premises + causes of Jihad, or in the alternat imposing an effective substitute which the Hard Boyz can accept.
